The first-half of season signed by the FC Barcelona with Ronald Koeman like technical director has not been for nothing satisfactory. The Dutch trainer has given practically by lost the career by LaLiga Santander, since the results have been unstable and inentendibles for him and for the rest of the surroundings culé.
In said tournament, after 15 parties and 45 points at stake, the Barcelona has been able to collect only 25 units, from seven victories, four ties and four defeats. This leaves to the club culé in the seventh box of classification, to a distance of 10 points of the leader, the Athletic of Madrid.
However, in view of these situations, exists a precedent in which the Catalan picture also had a start of season quite irregular and finished heaving the trophy of LaLiga Santander. It is necessary to trace back to the year 1999, when the compatriot of Koeman, Louis Van Gaal, was the technician of the team and achieved to win the contest suspender belt afterwards of a bad start.
For the navidad of 1998, the Barcelona of Van Gaal was ninth in the tournament of league with so alone 22 points and six parties won of the 15 contested. After a victory in front of the Valladolid, with the remembered première goleador of Xavi Hernández, the team culé heave the head and finished directing a series of positive results, that carried it to culminate first in the competition, with 79 units and to 11 of the second place, occupied by the Real Madrid.
Déjà vu Of Koeman to Van Gaal?
Although it is necessary to admit that the FC Barcelona of Ronald Koeman generates increasingly doubts, given his performance split after party, does not lose the hope that the team raise the head and encause a good series of results that improve his position in the league. A lot it depends this of the decisions of the Dutch technician, as well as of the attitude of the staff.
Incidentally, another factor determinant to achieve this end, will be the incorporations that attain to close the Barcelona in the market of winter. With Eric García and Memphis Depay in looks it, expects that the managerial can concretise some arrival that give him something of air to the staff, in all the senses.
