Which, although in a much shorter period of time, will argue this coming Monday Pedro Sanchez to stay It is more or less the same thing that was just explained this Thursday Xavi Hernández to do the same route: “I feel that the project is not finished, that we need stability, that people believe in us and have shown us their support”… Because I’m starting to think that, like Sánchez with his romantic letter yesterday In the afternoon, what Xavi intended with his statements after losing at home to Villarreal was nothing more than to gather the public and private support of his players, that is, to portray themselves. But, of course, how is a Barça player going to say “well, I’m delighted that Xavi is leaving because he is a very bad coach”? It’s impossible, right? And that is what happened: one by one the culés players showed their support for Xavi as, one by one, the ministers of the Government that he himself presides are asking Sánchez to please reconsider and endure the bites of the hungry wolves of the extreme right. Only in a Guy Richie movie The opposite could happen, that is, a Xavi footballer or a Sánchez minister would take advantage of their indecision to attack them because… what if it later turns out that they regret it and stay?
“Change of course.” That’s what he explained today What Xavi was looking for with his initial decision, a change of direction. And, for the sake of that change of course that he was looking for three months ago, he finds it reasonable to have said that he was leaving and that there was no possibility of turning back. Because the change of course was achieved, right? There is the evidence that proves it: beaten by PSG at home and eleven points behind Real Madrid in the League. I would say that it can be defined as a radical change of course, yes sir. With no chance of anything, Barça is now 2 points behind Girona, which could even snatch second place. And to this we should add that he was left out of the Club World Cup, losing 50 million euros. It could very well be said that the change of direction intended by Xavi was more sentimental than real, more romantic than practical. De Jong told him that he is the best, then they repeated it to him Araujo, Pedri, Gavi and Cubarsí… and ready. But with De Jong, Araujo, Pedri, Gavi and Cubarsí, Barça is, as I said, 11 points behind Madrid and out of the Champions League in the quarterfinals. It’s better not to ask Gündogan anything, lest he tell the truth. He’s German.
They say it was Alexander Pope who coined the famous phrase “To err is human and to rectify is wise.” That phrase is going to do more damage even than the toxic trend of forcing goalkeepers to play with their feet beyond what is strictly reasonable. Why does it have to be wise to rectify? If someone spends his entire life rectifying decisions that he has previously made, is he wiser than someone else who makes correct decisions? I think that phrase is a refuge for those who screw up., and Xavi put it in. Or maybe not and what he was looking for, as he said before, was popular support, the clamor of the fans, for them to please ask him to make the tremendous sacrifice of continuing to lead Barça. And today the most culés among the culés has done it. Xavi stays. He could not deny it to the motorcyclist who brought the sushi to Laporta’s house last night. Well thoughtXavi is a consensus coach because never in my entire life have I seen culés and madridistas so happy at the same time. And no one can deny me that Xavi has kept values and DNA: today I say white, tomorrow black and the day after red. Because, as everyone knows, one is wise when he rectifies. What will Sánchez do next Monday? rectify himself because he is a wise man… and of the people and for the people. You need to have a tough face.
