[Sport]Barcelona, plunged into chaos

[SougarLord]

 

As much as one of the candidates for the Barça presidency, Víctor Font, insisted on the need to sign Eric García now, against the opinion of his rivals, Joan Laporta and Toni Freixa, Ronald Koeman has finally run out of winter signings . The Barça coach understands that the delicate economic situation, aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic, has affected many great teams, but he also regrets that the club, right now, continues without a president. Above all, when starting to design next season.

 

He knew that this is a difficult moment at Barça, for many reasons. I don't mind acting as a spokesperson, but I'm the coach, and that's a very important role in a club. If the sports theme works, others have it easier. We need a president, it cannot be that a club like Barça continues without having one. Above all, to plan for the future, the Barça coach complained at the press conference prior to the clash with Granada in the Copa of king.

 

The publication of the numbers and conditions of Leo Messi's contract continues to raise a lot of excitement. And that is something that bothers him. It is absurd that this issue has been on everyone's lips for three days, but the team and Leo responded the way I like: leaving the things that appear in the press aside and concentrating on the game and its game, he wielded. From his point of view it can even have a certain positive effect: victories help to have a good atmosphere, but there are things from the outside that can also strengthen a dressing room. It is about taking advantage of what can give motivation. If you win, it is easier to have such an environment.

 

If there is an issue that can harm a player, my job as a coach, that of my staff and that of the team's people, is to protect and defend the player. I am not referring specifically to this topic, I speak in general. But when things like this happen, they can be important to be more united in the dressing room, he stressed. When looking for culprits, after pointing out on Sunday that, if someone from the club had leaked it, he had no future at Barça, he opened the range a little more. It can come from many places. There is always competition between the big clubs, people from outside who have friends inside ... I, as a coach, will defend my players and the club. Situations like this, as I said the other day, to me, are malicious, he insisted.

 

PRESSURE ATHLETIC

The team, despite the defeat in the Super Cup, seems to be more solid. And now, he is three games away from getting into the Cup final. Starting, of course, with the clash with Granada in the quarterfinals. The Cup is not more important than the League, although the Cup is closer, because there are fewer games left. Atlético is now very strong in the League, it is not normal for them to get so many points, but it is about continuing to press for them to lose some. We lost them at home and against teams against which they cannot be lost, reflected a Koeman who denied that he had problems with the leaks of his line-ups, no matter how much a Dutch media put in the mouth of his brother Erwin the opposite.

 

He has surprised me, because it is not true. I think the journalist put it wrong. Yes I commented a while ago that a topic that I spoke with Riqui was published, but the line-up thing is not true, assured the Barça coach. Gerard Piqué, one of his props, was able to celebrate his birthday and that of his partner, Shakira, on February 2, training at a stronger intensity after injuring his knee a few months ago. Koeman, however, asks for patience, as much as being in the return against PSG seems to be the goal of him and Ansu Fati: The most important thing is that they recover well from their injuries, especially Ansu. Setting dates is not good.
