There is always a first one in something and being leaves the second, third or fourth in a minor, less relevant role. The greatness of the first prints a differential value to the deed, be it Edmund Hillary, conquering Everest, or Neil Amstrong, the first human being that (according to the Americans, I still question it) stepped on the moon. Perhaps there were others, but in both cases the images and the news in the media are the ones that attest they were.
Marc Casadó It will go down in history to do what many other renowned Barça players (at least in color) could have done, but did not do: after a title go to canaletes to celebrate it. So simple, so significant, so notorious, so representative. I don’t think Marc is more culé than Puyi or Piqué, both iconic for Barcelona, but his gesture speaks a lot about a way of being, even more, of wanting to be.
The athletes in general, the players who most, have moved away from realitythey have put themselves (or rather, their surroundings have put them) a shell that acts as a shell in front of the world, to live as deities, far from the rest of the planet. Outside drops to hotels or stadiums with many fences and ‘gorillas’ that guarantee the protection of the protagonists, who advocate their arrival which fashionable parade, showing those backpacks again rich and all its accessories of the brands of the luxury of the Paseo Gracia.
In that, too Casadó decided to be differentin an interview he mentioned that he does not need that type of ostentatious product, although he does not recriminate his teammates. Who visited the Ramblas was Marc, but in this group I could have done more than one, I imagine Fermín Oa Gavi, to give two more examples. Being very, very, from Barça, has made this group compete as it does, today almost no one, in professional football, competes with the venerate team; All teams want to win, but they do not do it openly with the principles and values that have been instilled in their early, in their second home, and that makes a difference (obviously, if you are not good, that does not give nothing more to compete).
There is another differential aspect in this group, the fellowshipthe bicycle adventure (add their value to this fact too) of four friends to share the title of the league with a partner who is admitted to the hospital explains many positive things of all of them. Then came the Rúa, the first for many of them, which leaves us the feeling of the connection of the team with the fans, which flooded the city, to thank them as they have played, seeing them compete with that impetus and that will to do a team that can be remembered to the current Barça that can be remembered.
There is always a negative side in everything, communication, speeches, are the basis of any relationship. Between the team and the fans there must be communication, therefore, the words have lacked.
