Come on, let’s start telling truths, realities, clear, crystalline, transparent things. It’s time. New and regrettable, yes, regrettable party of the Barça outside Montjuïc. Two wins in the last five games.
So let’s start putting our hands on our heads. I don’t think, no, that Joan Laportawho did not want Xavi Hernandez because it was green, it’s starting to “load yourself with reasons”as I said José Luis Núñez when he was starting to get fed up with Johan Cruyff, because his doubts about the Terrassa coach are beginning to be real. Will follow.
Two, let’s be honest, damn! and, without being a disdain towards anyone and even less towards a workers’ club like Rayo Vallecano, we are talking about Rayo, please! of Vallecas, the most modest club in the entire First Division.
They want more? Look, Rayo’s budget is 55 million euros and Barça’s is almost 1,255 million. Seriously, I’m not asking for that to be reflected on the grass. Oh yes, hell yes. Do you want to know the Rayo lineup?: Dimitrievski, Balliu, Lejeune, Mumin, Ciss, Espino, Unai López, Ratiu, Valentín, Trejo, Pérez, Palazón, De Frutos, Baby, Isi, Camel and Falcao.
No excuses, go
Shall I repeat the names? I only know Isi and Falcao. Seriously, how many of those players would be starters for Barça? Can a team like this be familiar with, mistreat, bind, manipulate, harass, disturb, almost beat Barça itself, a Barça that is halfway to the best Barça in history? Seriously, it’s all very unfortunate. And, if you think I’m not right, think that this match and this ridicule already occurred in two other very modest fiefdoms: Getafe and Granada.
Three and even worse, much worse. The coach, who has been beaten 1,348 times for spending the day looking for excuses to justify these ridiculous things, no longer dares to do so, that is, for one day he puts the excuses aside, out of embarrassment, out of a feeling of shame.
And he drops the bomb, which is, yes, a matter of his maximum responsibility: there is a lack of mentality of going for the game from minute one. Oh really? Does the Barça coach, recently renewed, along with several dozen of his assistants (there must be a psychologist), really say that he doesn’t know how to make these kids understand that they must come out plugged in from minute one? Even worse: do we have to tell these millionaires that they must play with intensity and want to win from minute one?
I told them that we would talk, sorry, we would write and read serious things. If that mentality is like that, and it is, among other things because it is reported by those who should inject that voracity into their players and fail to do so!, we have a problem of discourse, or we have a problem of approach, or we have a problem of credibility with the footballers or we have a communication problem. And if we have a problem that is so, so, so complicated, that is, a little of everything, then those in charge, Laporta, Yuste, Deco and Echevarria (never Masip), must step up and make decisions.

There is something that is beginning to sound too loud in this city to continue turning a deaf ear to that refrain. It is not that Girona, with the same budget as Rayo, walks around Spain and is a leader playing the football that Barça should play and that has been banished from the culé headquarters, no, no, it is that Romeu, who was god ( or almost) at Girona, he is now the most criticized player on the Barça squad and Eric García, who was for sale at Barça, is a god at Montilivi, coached by Michel.
Okay, okay, another day we’ll talk about the coach.
