Luis Enrique and Anoeta, the hope of FC Barcelona de Quique Setién

In January of 2015 produced one of the greater turning points in the last decade of history in the FC Barcelona. It was in the stadium of Anoeta, after the then trainer of the team, Luis Enrique, left in the bench to Leo Messi and to Neymar. The Real Sociedad advanced with a goal in own door of Jordi Alba and when the Asturian technician put in the field to the Argentinian and to the Brazilian, found that both played with a tremenda desgana.

Of course, the party against the Real Sociedad finish losing by the minimum although the worst was not this defeat, but the schism that opened between the technical body and the players. Ready it was this desencuentro to cost him the head to Luis Enrique, but a talk of the president Josep Maria Bartomeu with Leo Messi finished with the decision of both to keep to the Asturian technician in the bench.

The brecha was very big, but so much Luis Enrique like Leo Messi and the rest of the 'heavy weights' of the changing room learnt to bear and to keep the respect mútuo between them. The result was surprisingly good: the FC Barcelona won LaLiga, the Champions League and the Glass of Rey, culminating a historical season that anybody expected after the internal war arisen in Anoeta, in this defeat against the Real Sociedad.

The parallelisms with the FC Barcelona of Quique Setién

Saving the distances, the current FC Barcelona of Quique Setién has some parallelisms with this team of Luis Enrique that it carried the triplete, although of course in this case the culés are deleted of the Glass of Rey and have it very complicated in LaLiga Santander. Especially by this enormous brecha that has opened between the Cantabrian technician and his second, Eder Sarabia, with the heavy weights of the Barcelona staff.

The holy cows were more to taste with Ernesto Valverde and Balaídos turned into the 'Anoeta' of this season. A tie against the Celtic of Vigo destapó the box of the thunders, caused a meeting of reproach back and a plot the day afterwards that, although it served so that the team joined strengths to finish well the season, no limó all the asperezas between the two parts.

With Quique Setién on a tightrope and some players five greater years that when they attained the miracle with Luis Enrique, the aim will be the Champions League, that is to day of today more affordable that a League in which the Real Madrid would have to puncture in two parties. It will be necessary to see if finally Balaídos turns into Anoeta, if Quique Setién attains what attained Luis Enquque and, especially, if the Cantabrian technician will arrive like Barcelona technician to the big European challenge.
