The line-up that Rosell wanted for the Barça in 2018... With two signings

During the 645 days that happened Sandro Rosell in prison, had time for a lot of things. In the book that has published recently, 'A strong embrace', details some of his experiences in first person and also the changes in his state of spirit during the two years that happened between grilles. It offers also some curious details, as for example how in a visit of Bartomeu to Brians, in July of 2018, Rosell happened him a paper with a proposal of alignment and of system of game for the FC Barcelona of Valverde.

It treated of a fully offensive team and that would have run a lot of risks backwards, something that the 'Txingurri' never had accepted: a 4-2-1-3 where the 1 was Leo Messi, acting of stick between the centre of the field and the forward. The team in question had been formed by: Ter Stegen; Willian, Hammered, Umtiti or Lenglet, Alba; Busquets, Rabiot; Messi and, in front his, Dembélé, Luis Suárez and Coutinho.

Basing us therefore in the staff that had the FC Barcelona two years ago, Sandro Rosell there would be fichado to reinforce to this team to Willian Borges, of Chelsea, and to Adrien Rabiot of Paris Saint-Germain. Two signings that could have arrived with controversy, taking into account that Willian is not a footballer accustomed to play like right side, but rather like pure extreme. And regarding Rabiot... All have seen the problems that left in his exit of Paris, and those that is having at present in the Juventus of Turín.

The 'Vecchia Signora' already is looking for the form to remove it of on, and does not foresee that it have it easy. Two years ago, in any case, so much Willian like Rabiot were in the diary culé and well could have arrived like reinforcements for Ernesto Valverde.

So much the 'Txingurri' as the technical office, however, had other preferences to reinforce the centre of the field and the forward. Never we will know if the eleven proposed by Sandro Rosell would have worked, although to simple sight leaves a lot of doubts and big defensive lagoons.

Sandro Rosell does not lose the time

The ex president culé, at least, could distract with this type of quehaceres during his time of seclusion in Brians, in addition to writing other a lot of also included anecdotes in his book. Since it went out of the prison, has not lost the time between the publication of the book and the continuous interviews that is conceding to the media. In all they, the Spanish justice goes out badly unemployed.
