The turn of Kiko Femenía to the Camp Nou this Saturday

This Saturday produced in the Camp Nou the turn of a footballer that after no cuajar in any of the quarries of the two big of Spain, has gone back to First Division by his fueros and being the side title of the Sportive Alavés. Kiko Femenía Confronted to his demons this weekend remembering his go through the group blaugrana that took place does already five years but that produced after failing the first option of signing: Antoine Griezmann.

It ran the summer of 2011 when Pep Guardiola planned a season more at the head of the FC Barcelona. The Barcelona were exultant after winning LaLiga and Champions League and looked for to follow keeping the level doing some that another signing that reinforced the lines of the team… And also his subsidiary. And with this idea treated the technician of Santpedor convince to the then player of the Real Sociedad Antoine Griezmann that it came to Can Barça.

Guardiola Contacted directly with the player to explain him the intentions that had for with him. A pleasant conversation and that hammered the curiosity of the now international French. The Barça put in contact with his surroundings and with his mentor, Eriz Olhats. However, a movement spoilt with all the negotiations.

The plans of the picture blaugrana, and of his trainer, were that Griezmann formed this season splits of the filial. They wanted it for the Barça B with perspectives to go up to the first team and finish winning a place in him. The confidence of Griezmann in his possibilities did that it refused the offer since it did not consider in this moment player of Second, category of which had risen with the Real Sociedad.

It preferred to remain and the wait was worthwhile him as it finish in the Athletic of Madrid where now is an idol. By his part, the Barça, decomposed and without forward, finish fichando to the by then player of Hercules Kiko Femenía that finish being a rotundo disappointment. This same campaign Alexis Sánchez arrived to the picture culé, something that also would have closed him the door to Antoine and that, the one who knows, perhaps would have done him suffer a situation like the one of Femenia. To the Valencian put him all very slope up after signing with the Barça. No cuajó in the filial, the pressure could by him and after finish agreement finish happening to the rival maximum, the Real Madrid... To annotate another failure to his rucksack. However, now in the Alavés to recovered the confidence.
