How difficult it is for criticism to be on point! If you are too severe, you may overdo it and do more harm than good. If, on the other hand, you are too accommodating, you can err on the side of being soft. And if we add to this that everything that happens in Barcelona is oversized and multiplies like a repeater loudspeaker, one understands the complicated environment of Barcelona, as Johan Cruyff rightly baptized it.
And to make matters worse, if you currently criticize the club excessively, you are anti-laportista but if you criticized the previous one, you were anti-baromeu. come on, what you were always portrayedor why you will fall short or because you will go too far according to his acolytes.
For better or for worse it is a great club, but in which everything acquires unsuspected proportions. Fortunately, at present the tenant of the Barcelona bench knows perfectly how all the springs of the club’s environment move. He is terrified.
We are in a very complicated season on economic, social and institutional issues. With the economic investment, the leversthe reconstruction of the team and the beginning of the very important works of the Espai Barça. And we have to describe it.
There is a lot of tension in the club. Tension why they cross very delicate moments for the future of Barcelona. And everything is accused. Lack of stability. There is a lack of tranquility, of calm. Of thinking only about football and judging only football, without isms or prejudices.
And in between, Xavi and his team. For those who have not brought him, the team is not playing as it should play. They have better players and win by luck or by the minimum or suffer too much in situations that would not correspond suffer and it goes without saying if we talk about the knockout of elimination for the second consecutive season from the Champions League.
For those who have brought Xavi, Barcelona is the leader, at a record pace of Tito vilanova and the famous 100 points overcoming adversity. Nobody will be satisfied. And now we are in one of those moments of maximum division. Nothing helps.
I know I’m not going to please everyone. Nor should that be the objective of an article, nor is this one. For me the sports season is being remarkable. With all this noise and still being able to play better, Barcelona is the leader of the league, and has already won the Spanish Super Cup and can finish off the season by eliminating Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. The Champions League mole will obviously remain there, and for many it is an important stain while, we return to the isms, the injuries in defense left the team rearmed in that phase of the season.
It is not about making anyone happy, but about looking at the situation and the perspective that the club lives, permanently immersed in Cainite struggles that do not help at all. That is Barcelona and its environment. And still, she survives. It is bigger than all that.
