In some statements conceded to the Magazine "Panenka", Gerardo Martino has confessed that the season in which it trained to the FC Barcelona was an authentic "failure", since, although the Barça had won the League if Mateu Lahoz had not cancelled unfairly a goal in favour of the culés, the Barcelona did not know to find his best version of game along the season.

"The mine in the Barça was a total failure", recognises Martino. "Usually a failure means not winning, but my vision is another. If the Barça had had a profile of team, although we had not won the title would not have been a failure. But we do not win it and on we do not play well. This League had been a title more than had not contributed at all to the club".

The "Tata", besides, admits that it already had thought from did months that would not renew agreement with the FC Barcelona. "My decision to leave me neither had changed. It did not do it is missing to prolong something that was died from did time". In this context, Martino stands out that the Barça came him too big to be the first team that trained in Europe.

"If you do not win and on you are foreigner can not pretend not receiving criticisms, more if you do not have happened in the club. It would have to have looked for my place in Europe beginning elsewhere. If some trainer asked me council in an alike situation would say him that it did school, that first pass by other clubs", comments the Argentinian.

"The Barça needed to somebody that resolved the fast subject after the illness of Tito. To me they had gone me well the things in Argentina, with a team that had played very well to the football, and squared with the form of the Barça. The 99 percent of the people desconocía my idea of football".

The Athletic of Madrid converted that season in the "Black Beast" of the Barça. "The obligation in the Barça to play well was an obviedad. Probably against the Athletic, although they had validated us the goal and had been champions, the Barça finish moved away of the best version of what is and this is not sufficient. When they carry the excellence of a form, the commitment of this club is not only win but do it of a determinate way. That's why, in his form to play, was well that it won the League the Athletic of Madrid".
