The figures and statistics give Koeman the reason: Messi did "disguise everything"

The 'split' between Ronald Koeman and Joan Laporta has given space so that both 'protagonists' of the FC Barcelona have devoted to begin a war by means of the press, in sight of all and with the 'intention' to leave more damaged the image of the club, that already was it with the financial situation of the club and the crisis inherited after the management of Josep María Bartomeu. The president and trainer live a party of ping-pong, with answers and new complaints almost every day, to keep the alive show.

Between the go and come of the two, Ronald Koeman pronounced a sentence that, controversy like few, leaves to the light the reality of what is the FC Barcelona, very painful and worrisome, by the way. While the Dutch 'planted' to the press and read a communiqué for excusarse and not asking big things with this team, 'Voetball International' desvelaba a new interview of the Dutch in which, between other so many things (as it already accustoms), left a "Messi has disguised it everything" in the Barça.

Well, it is a recado so controversial like true. Koeman, once again, has left clear that does not bite the tongue and, at all costs, want to 'clean' his image before it was sacked. With Leo Messi, the figures, statistical and titles give him all the reason to the Dutch, because yes it is true that during a lot of years the Argentinian covered all the difficulties in the Barça, with goals and parties of legend, because for this was. Now, with his absence, any weakness, problem and controversial is one thousand more visible times, because the reality is that there is not the one who the 'fix' each Sunday in the field.

But as in the football all are data and statistical, it is necessary to go with facts: When the FC Barcelona 'failed' with the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, that did not fit in the team and did not carry never well with Pep Guardiola, the 53 goals of Messi 'disguised' this fiasco of the Barcelona. As well as the exit of Neymar and the 'failures' of Dembéle and Coutinho, with other 54 targets, or the history of terror of Griezmann in the club, with 51 goals.

The shine of Leo Messi covered, in too many occasions, the errors of the Barça to sportive level. Yes that it was a referent and the engine of the team, in the good and in the bad, no only in the last years, but also in his starts defending to the first team. Nevertheless, also it helped to cover the errors to institutional level, causing that, in spite of the crisis, the image of the club always went positive.

Concentrating us in the last year, from 2020, when it went out to the light the controversy of the 'Barçagate', covered the 'disaster' with four goals to the Eibar. It did not give to space to that they spoke badly of the Barça, as well as when the motion of censorship: all the 'cancelled' in the field because his performances were more stood out that the problems by which crossed the club. His weight, influence and talent (innegable) was a balsam for the Barça and now that it is not, there is not "the one who resolve" neither cover the hollow week after week.

The own Koeman Is living it with the team. The performance of the culés the year happened was not the best, is not a secret for anybody, but without Leo Messi had been worse. we are living It Right now and yes, it is true, there are more players, but probably any become so decisive as it was it 'The Flea'.

Leo Messi, key for Joan Laporta

Even the figure of Messi helped to 'Jan' to win the elections, remembering that his campaign based , practically, in that he was the only able to convince to' 'crack' of Rosary to renew after all what happened with the burofax. Further of his ideas or projects (that they have not seen light, by the way), the promise of 'retain' to Messi carried to the partners to vote by him in the elections and that the confidence was put to the one hundred percent in him. The rest of the history already all know it... And it finished very bad.
