Lord of Greenery

Chapter 452 History of Barcelona's Infighting

At the moment when the halftime whistle blew, Roselle sat in the VIP box, keeping the atmosphere cold and silent.

He is the current chairman of Barcelona. He became the chairman after the meritorious coach Laporta. He was the hero of the team during the Dream II period.

At that time, the core members of the Dream Team II, Ronaldinho and Deco, came to Barcelona through his efforts.

Two players with Brazilian nationality naturally formed the team's South American gang.

In Dream [-] at the time, Messi's position was very awkward.

On the one hand, he is Argentinian and should have been a member of the South American gang.

But at the same time, he is also a youth training player of Barcelona, ​​and it is understandable to say that he is a local gang.

In factional struggles, it is actually very difficult for a faction who sits on the wall to please both sides. He will not be drawn in by both parties, but repelled by both parties.

This is the case with Messi, because it was Laporta who was in power at the time. Messi, who was considered to be biased towards the South American gang, was once rejected by Laporta, and even hoped to replace Messi with Bojan.

However, because of the internal strife initiated by Laporta, the South American gang completely declined in Barcelona.

Ronaldinho, the former king of Camp Nou, lost the protection of the Barcelona media, and negative news was flying all over the sky for a while.

In the 06-07 and 07-08 seasons, Barcelona lost to Real Madrid in the league, and they did nothing in the Champions League.

As a result, Laporta encountered a serious crisis of confidence.

In 08, Laporta faced a crucial vote.

The situation at the time was that Real Madrid defeated Barcelona to win the league championship, Laporta was preparing to clean up the achievements of the Dream II headed by Ronaldinho, and the new head coach was the fledgling Guardiola.

Under internal and external troubles, Laporta must have more than 33% of the votes, more than one-third of the support rate to be precise.

Only in this way, he will not fall from the position of chairman.

Ironically, this system of voting to impeach the chairman was established by Laporta.

The final voting result is that the number of people who oppose Laporta's continued presidency has exceeded 60%, but it has not exceeded the critical 66%.

Laporta was lucky not to be impeached.

And the next season will be the well-known dream of three or six championships.

There is no doubt that, regardless of his personal ability or achievements, Laporta has already left his mark in the history of Barcelona.

In any case, Meng [-] and Meng [-] were born under his hands, and he witnessed history making history.

However, after the term comes, he still has to step down from the chairmanship.

And the one who succeeded him was Russell, the hero of the Dream Team [-], who was suppressed and targeted during Laporta's time.

With such a great achievement by his predecessor, the pressure on Roselle is naturally not small.

Moreover, just as Laporta disliked Ronaldinho and even Messi, Russell also disliked Guardiola.

It was Laporta who promoted Guardiola. Which chairman the current Barcelona coach supports more is something that you don't even need to think about.

Under such circumstances, Russell did not blatantly target Guardiola, he was already very far-sighted and magnanimous.

But all of this is based on the fact that Guardiola is the team's meritorious service and has the head coach talent that Barcelona needs.

If he is not so good, he can not lead Barcelona to achieve good results, Russell will not even give a smile.

In his mind, Russell suddenly remembered Li Ze's cynicism towards Guardiola before the game started.

Russell doesn't know football very well, at least, he doesn't think he knows football better than Li Ze.

Could he be telling the truth?

At least Guardiola's tactics are problematic, which they have confirmed with their actions.

Then another key message in Li Ze’s discourse——

That is to say, Guardiola's tactical level is very poor. Is it true that he only achieved success through years of youth training in Barcelona?
Roselle let the meditation just be meditation, and didn't say anything more.

He just got up and said goodbye to the others politely.

It's just inexplicable, seeing his expression, other people always feel that this matter will not end like this.

On the other hand, Guardiola has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Football in Barcelona has always been more than just football.

When he is good, he also represents the spirit of Barcelona yearning for freedom.

In bad times, he also represents the complex struggle at the top of the team.

Van Gaal hated this kind of struggle after his failed coaching at Barcelona.

At the same time, there is no good word for the Dutch star Cruyff.

As a historical figure in Dutch football, Cruyff did not give any help to Van Gaal's coaching, but instead targeted him everywhere.

Because Van Gaal accepted the invitation of the then chairman Nunez before he came to Barcelona to coach.

At that time, Cruyff had already hit it off with Laporta, and the two sides were actually political enemies.

It's just that, as a relatively pure football player, Van Gaal never thought that Cruyff would treat him like this.

When he first entered the palace, Van Gaal led Barcelona to two league championships, and once a league and Copa del Rey double. , Iniesta, Valdes and other future mainstays, but later people will have the impression of "failure" when evaluating his coaching process in Barcelona.

Guardiola is facing the same situation as Van Gaal at the moment.

His sensitivity to some things is a bit better than Van Gaal's, but not much better.

He is also a relatively pure football coach. He never thought that his chairman would question his ability because of a failure.

Really, Barcelona has been praised too much, so high that even if they entered the Champions League final last year, many fans were angry and mocking their final loss.

In fact, it is very difficult for a club team to remain strong.

In many cases, the performance of the team really cannot be used to judge the personal abilities of players and even the head coach.

Moreover, thinking that one's own team can always win championships is a disregard for other competitors and a kind of superiority. Football is not that kind of sport, and no team can be strong.

However, Guardiola is clear about this, Russell is not.

Even Guardiola knows that if they are eliminated by Inter Milan, he will most likely dismiss get out of class.

"It's not that simple." Guardiola stared at Li Ze, who was celebrating wildly on the field.

"I will wait for you at Camp Nou!" Messi also said silently in his heart.

The knockout round is a two-round match, and Barcelona returning to their home court will be a completely different and stronger team.
