In the year 2000, the Real Madrid had to try win the Intercontinental Glass like European representative, after having conquered the Champions League.

"After winning him to the Real Madrid in Tokyo, the Barcelona, antagonistic team, fixed in me"

Jorge 'The Pattern' Bermúdez was one of the players that in this moment played in the Argentinian team. The ex central Colombian lived the best moments of his career in Mouth Juniors and his high performance even woke up the interest of the FC Barcelona. According to the own ex defence, the culés tried to close his arrival after this final, but the signing finish frustrating.

In some statements for ESPN, the own Bermúdez, that was the captain of the Argentinian team, explained it sucedido with the Barça. "After winning him to the Real Madrid in Tokyo, the Barcelona, antagonistic team, fixed in me. Had to Frank of Boer and looked for a central to accompany it. It arrived an official communiqué and spoke with the authorities, but alas did not give me the guarantee", commented.

But everything frustrated ...

The FC Barcelona would have put in this occasion 6 million dollars on the table of Mouth Juniors -equivalent to some 6 million euros more or less- but the Argentinian group did not want neither hear to speak to lose to his captain and to one of his more important players. The club culé, by his part, remained without a player that who know if it could have marked a period in the Camp Nou.

"The leaders did not loan to any another thing and these same people finished requesting money for his accounts. It damaged the business, fell all and in a meeting of group that had bleached it in front of Oscar (Córdoba) and ten mates more so that it remained clear by those who were surrounded", explained the ex Colombian footballer on the sucedido.

Pattern Bermúdez does not agree with the management neither with the deal that gave them to the players in this period. "It was not just that we in the field delivered us each party as if it was a final and outside there were people so methodical and Machiavellian that did not recognise our work", concluded, although afterwards it would finish signing by the Olympiakos Greek.
