There have been two great disruptive and revolutionary processes in the modern history of Barça. The arrival of Johan Cruyff in 1988, with the complicity of Núñez who did open the chest, and the 2003 elections won by Joan Laporta. And, now (presumably) the third has been forged, that of the levers.

The official speech is that of ‘fer foc nou’, inoculating pure cruyffismo and recovering the essences that made Barça the best team on the planet. However, what has been seen in Europe and at the Bernabéu is more of the same, a new chapter of infinite agony.
The club proclaims a revolution, but the team is a Frankenstein, a two-speed Barça, without chemistry between some captains who have been managing instead of playing for years and, on the other hand, the new and young people who want to take on the world. Something is wrong with the genesis.
Nico’s flight to Valencia, who was seen sucking the bench all year, and the lack of a substitute in the squad made it staged that Busquets he was still untouchable. That Gaviwith a heart Neeskens, started at the Bernabéu from the bench is blasphemous. As is also the case Bucket, who was a starter, only played a minute from when Xavi landed in November until his start in an inconsequential match at Getafe in May. There are no half measures with La Masia. You have to believe it and defend it. It is not possible to send Eric to the lions knowing that he does not have the body to fight Benzema or Lautaro (and note that Lukaku was not in the two Inter games).
And cruyffismo, not a soft brand, is a ruthless hard hand with the ‘sacred cows’. In the summer, the club did not use the World Cup card to force the goodbye of Jordi Alba Y Busquets, that if he had grabbed Kross with the same force with which he clings to his blushing contract, another rooster would crow. It was a laconic “if you stay you don’t play and you don’t go to Qatar”. And with Piqué, who is the smartest, he could have agreed.
It lacked determination, conviction and radicalism. three qualities that Cruyff had to convert to a double tip like Nadal in the center, or to one end as goikoetxea on the side Why hasn’t Eric been tried as a midfielder? Or Kessié from central with the plague of injuries? EITHER Frankie from the side? Yes, crazy for some, but genius for others like when Guardiola reconverted Mascherano in central or wanted to put kaita side in the final in Rome. This is the essence of Barça: innovate, rebel, not agree. And it is what should have been done in the summer and not now.
