The conclusions of the Barça after the bet fallida by Murillo and Boateng

The FC Barcelona is put of full in the fight by League, Champions and Glass of Rey, in a campaign of the most demanding in which it expects to do plenary of titles. The past summer, the Catalans bet by a complete staff, compensated and prepared to face up to all the challenges of the season, although they needed to apply a pair of retouchings in winter that finally have not finish cuajando.

From it does some months, many ask after what fichó to Jeison Murillo and Kevin-Prince Boateng, that have not attained to be important and win a place in the alignments of Ernesto Valverde. His participation reduces to a pair of official parties per person -in addition to the Supercopa of Catalonia-, in which the first has contested 180 minutes and the second has left his slat in 123.

In the City Condal already knew that the bets to half course comported some risk, but more had it remain without acting. In the moment in which it decided that it was necessary to launch to by the Colombian, Thomas Vermaelen and Samuel Umtiti were lesionados, what had left very alone to the couple Gerard Hammered-Clément Lenglet. The case was similar with the ghanés, since Luis Suárez was 'touched' and Munir The Haddadi had put course to Seville.

The intention was to assume that it brought a 'patch', to treat to take out advantage and at the same time protect to the youngsters of the filial. The first aim, except that there is surprise on the way to the end of the campaign, does not go to fulfil because they have not been able to contribute his granite of sand, but the second himself because they have assumed with naturalidad, experience and integrity the criticisms that could do burned the career of any of the promises barcelonistas.

It was evident that, given the circumstances, Murillo and Boateng did not come to be stars, but to help in the measure of the possible. Two players with knowledge of LaLiga that could collaborate with an interesting "immediate performance", that finally has remained in at all because the difficulty to fit in the demanding and peculiar Barcelona style has been a too big obstacle.

Doing balance, both will manage without penalty neither glory by the history of the Barça, but at least will not suppose a serious setback for the planning neither for the arks culés. They will be 1,2 million euros invested in the cession of the central and 1 'kilo' more for the attacker, with a quantity asumible that does not suppose a capital effort explaining the profile that looked for . Besides, will turn into a problem on a long-term basis, a requirement that already took into account when it bet by loans instead of definite incorporations.

Murillo and Boateng open hollow for the real aims of the Barça

And it is that, if they had attained to be decisive, the Barça had posed the signing of Murillo and/or Boateng, but as they have not been it, does not have problems to centre in his true aims. It was difficult to reinforce in winter without engaging the options that looked for for the summer 2019, but now, once go back to his clubs of origin, will be able to close agreements by the ones of Ligt, Jovic, or Griezmann, perlas of present and future that were entirely inaccessible in January. The bet has resulted fallida, but also has left some positive conclusions.
