Chema Rey
Hhey a year ago Barcelona I played and lost the semifinal of theSpanish Super Cup against him Atltico de Madrid in Saudi Arabia. The cul group fell by two goals to three in the King Abdullah Sports City, and that defeat implied the sentence of Ernesto Valverde on the Barça bench, although his departure it did not become official until the day 13. 365 days later, the sporting crisis continues without having been overcome in the Camp Nou. The farewell of Extremadura did not shelve the irregularity, in the game or in the results.
The stumble in the Super Cup cause the Directive of Josep Maria Bartomeu will rush to take action. Voices critical of the work of Valverdethey raised their voices, especially for the stumbles in the Champions League (Roma and Liverpool), at the end of the Copa del Rey against him Valencia… and defeat in Arabia It was the straw that filled the glass of the patience of the culs leaders, confident that the relief would end the sporting crisis. The former player was dismissed when the Catalan team was leader of the table of First and his group of Champions League, and after having conquered two Suspenders, a Cup and one Supecopa.
Today, one year after the defeat in Yedda against those of Simeone, he Barcelona it still does not find its way. Quique Setin picked up the witness from Extremadura. Without success. The Cantabrian technician directed the cul block in 25 matches with a balance of 16 victories, four draws and five defeats, the most painful, without a doubt, that of August 14 in the quarterfinals of the Champions League against him Bavaria de Mnich. The German team gave him a historic score of 2-8.
A Setin has happened to him Ronald Koeman, who has not just found the way to success in the Camp Nou. The irregularity is marking its trajectory, also affected by all the extra-sports matters that are weighing down the Only, and undermining its continuity. The Dutch coach openly admits that to conquer LaLiga, where he has had four defeats, it is almost a miracle. Some of the presidential candidates do not hide that the former player’s days are numbered. One year after the match, and defeat, in the luxurious King Abdullah Sports City, he Barcelona, renewed on his bench, he has not yet regained his lost glory and prestige.
