“Here, the peace of mind vouchers only last two or three days. And it’s just some peace of mind. There will always be people who will criticize. I know. I know very well what Barça is. If we lose in Girona tomorrow, it will once again be a tremendous catastrophe.”
Well no, Xavino, you won in Girona and that new Pyrrhic victory (third in the same week: Getafe, Real society Y Girona), very similar, yes, to those achieved by the ‘cholo’ Simeone with his Atlético and even almost, almost, like those added by that Real Madrid that you hate for the so lucky way that he wins or overcomes the matches, he has saved you and yours, everyone, from that catastrophe (always momentary, the president blindly trusts you) which, possibly, will occur when the Sorloth on duty, who missed the tie on the day of Real Sociedad, or the ivan martin today in the Municipality of Montilivihit your auction.
The problem, Xavi, is that the exhibition of the Super Cup against Real Madrid begins to be a flash in a day and that has no continuity.
record numbers
Well, continuity does have spectacular results! and in league scoring, on the way to 100 points and undisputed leaders. And, almost, almost, winter champion. And, of course, if the comparison is, as you have explained, in reference to last year (300 million euros later and 15 months of yours on the bench), well yes, the change is evident.
But that was not what you promised when you arrived. And that is why there are many Barcelona fans, not all, no, there are (thousands) who jump for joy with what they see and how they feel, who believe that this team is not round, that it does not improve with the passing of the weeks, that he has played only one great game in months (big!, yes, immense!) and that he begins to win, to save himself, to score, to avoid the tremendous catastrophe, thanks to that little goal, to that Araujo impressive, miraculous Ter Stegen or what Sorloth, ivan martin or the rival on duty fails the chances of the last breath.
The team does not dominate, the team does not control, the team does not finish off, the team does not impose itself, the team does not progress and the team does not even live calmly, in peace, facing, for example, a Getafe that touches the descent, to a Real society with 10, without Merinowithout Silva or before a Girona scared.
It is evident that if the consolation, the sentence, the explanation, the request for an extension, to demand patience, comes from the comment made by you, in the Municipality of Montilivi, “we are doing things much better than where we came from”, then there is nothing to say, nor to criticize, nor catastrophe to fear.
But that was not what you promised from the beginning, from the creation of Barça 2.0, from the manufacture of the levers, from the birth of the ‘new era’. The results, excellent, unthinkable as the team is playing, go one way and the sensations, on the other.
“We are doing things much better than where we came from”
Xavi Hernández, coach of FC Barcelona
The sensations, which are the source of culé science according to the Barça gurus, are not good and even you see yourself in the need, and you do well, what the hell!, to defend that “it is also in the DNA of Barça to throw something that another center & rdquor; to the pot, from time to time.

That, of course, and even defending the 11 under the crossbar during the last five minutes. And even celebrate the victory when Sorloth and/or Iván Martín miss the goal that would have caused the tremendous catastrophe.
I signed win like this; but you don’t. And it turns out that I don’t like what I see and you love it.
