Koeman ignites the debate: Has his administration had more pros or cons?

The FC Barcelona has been a Russian mountain of feelings in this season under the orders of Ronald Koeman. The team happened to have a brief start but very postivo, an end of 2020 of terror (from October) to give a jump of impressive quality in the beginning of this year that in LaLiga allowed them keep a series of 51 of 57 possible points that invited to dream a traced back historical to the Athletic of Madrid in the classification, especially because the 'colchoneros' were in free fall.

The blaugrana, after many adjust, modifications, proofs and changes of drawing, presented (until the last stop of selections), like a reliable and resistant team that, in front of the irregularity of the Atleti and Real Madrid, was the group that more stood out in the Spanish championship, but everything, finally, has remained like a big illusion that is having the worst denouement that could have expected the barcelonismo, with a team that, in spite of having won the Glass of Rey, is finishing the season sunk and more discussed that never.

Of course, the first character that goes out to float to the hour to look for guilty, is the trainer, Ronald Koeman, that, although it has achieved a lot of positive appearances with the staff, definitively never has achieved to give with the 'key' of the regularity for the Barcelona, especially in the most important moments of the season and when more has expected of the team and of his function like technician, with the defeats in front of the Real Madrid, Atleti, Granada, in addition to the shameful goleada in front of the Paris Saint-Germain in the eighth of final or in front of the Juventus in the phase of groups of the Champions League.

It has argued , along this campaign, that the Barça hides and that to the players them 'lacking' blood and competitiveness, as well as that there are footballers that are not to the height of the team, but there is other so many that individually have stood out , but does not become sufficient to raise to a Barça that carries years in crisis and that needs changes more radical and notable of which has implemented the Dutch trainer in little less than a year and that it could cost him his exit of the club at the end of the season, without option of complir his agreement.

The big errors of Koeman

The decisions of the ex seleccionador of Low Countries always have caused controversy in the breast of the barcelonismo, especially to what replacements refers . In front of the Raise, remained portrayed after ingresar to Sergi Roberto in replacement of Ronald Araújo to play like head office, when it also had to Mingueza available. The plan was a disaster and the party finished in catastrophe, deleting practically all the possibilities of the Barcelona to carry the championship or, at least, to litigate it to the end.

However, the big desacierto of the Dutch has been the defensive saga and the 'proofs' that have not brought favourable results, taking in account all what happened in the beginning of season, with a 4-2-3-1 that left in sight all the ghosts of the Barcelona to the moment to defend. In spite of this, finished innovando with the saga of three head offices and with the sides like carrileros, that worked by several months, but that no longer sustains to the team in which neither Ter Stegen has kept his level.

All the responsibility is his?

It can him question in excess, but the reality is that no all the responsibility has it he. It arrived to a team in pictures, literally, and sunk anímicamente after the disaster of Lisbon with goleada of the Bayern Munich (2-8), in addition to finding with the maximum star of the team, Leo Messi, in the door of exit of the club and with a desánimo that happened him bill in the first part of the season. On the other hand, although had the incorporations of Pedri, Dest or Pjanic, the Barcelona directive could not 'please him' with the signings that he had asked (Eric García, Memphis Depay, Wijnaldum...) That had the intention to strengthen positions that were in picture.

At the same time, it confronted to a team without nine, with the exit of Luis Suárez, and with a plague of impressive injuries to consequence of the tightened and complicated of the calendar, that forced to the Barça (and the rest of the teams) to 'survive' to parties each two and three days, melting to the players and leaving them very little margin for his recovery. No it can him defend, in no case, by how is finishing the course the team, but yes has to take in account all the 'challenges' to which has confronted since it landed in the City Condal from the past month of August.
