Oporto is very beautiful (but he doesn’t know who Laureano Ruiz is) | Relief

Barça returned to the stage in Vigo with a debate on the model and a 1-2 score.

If Barça played at the Camp Nou in front of their fans, people would be talking. Pillows used to be thrown; Later, handkerchiefs were used as a barometer of opinions. Very bullfighting. But now it’s being played in front of 17,000 believers because the rest Giris They do not discuss and are not from Barça, although they say that they are from Barça.. And even if Deco opens his mouth, and the debate is opened by the Barça sporting director. That’s why trays of cupcakes flew off in Montjuic…

And we need to know whether Anderson Luis de Souza (São Paulo, Brazil, 1977) is really the man who should lead Barça’s football revival.

In fact, Barça has lived from debate to debate since it was founded in a gym in Raval and had to choose a shield.. At least that’s what I’ve read, told and seen for as long as I can remember. In fact, if there is a debate at Barça, it is because people are talking. And, in theory, they listen to him. This has been the case at least since the people, the members, were given the right to vote and vote, and the president was no longer chosen by secret meetings in which four voted. And we, Catalans, love to argue and reason.. And voting, the maximum expression in the theory of the voice of the people.

Barça holds elections to elect a president. This is not Real Madrid, where under the dictatorship of Florentino Perez people feel comfortable and elections are held on the basis of the assembly.. People don’t talk. This is what dictatorships have. He who commands commands; and as long as there is no hunger, everything is fine. The problem is that people are starving. Ask Ceausescu (for ESO members, the Romanian dictator, not the Steaua centre-forward).

Well, to the point. There was a debate at Barça in the late seventies when Nunez appeared.

. Nunez was disliked by most of the Catalan sectors, that is, Convergence and Pujolism, because the Catalan right, which controlled the country’s power in those days, also wanted to control Barça. But Nunez suddenly appeared, he promised titles – bread – and people who wanted bread, because they had not bitten since 1974 – when Cruyff was a footballer – na-na decided that seigneurs It was very good, but it didn’t fill my stomach anymore..

These promised Nunes titles and 25,000 votes (and some tricks) were enough for him to win the presidency. And he was there for 22 years. He certainly changed Barça and Spanish football to such an extent that he once brought back the skinny and huge figure of Johan Cruyff to win elections. He needed to win the election, and together with Johan he won it. And Johan brought pride back to Barcelona fans and changed the perception of Spanish football. One before and one after.

And then on the field the debate ended. The footballing essence of Barcelona fans has been restored, a team that historically has always – always – had a good taste for a certain way of handling the ball. This is a team that originally consisted of players from Scotland – those who invented passball and later from Central Europe, strongly influenced by the Hungarian school. And, of course, from Holland. First, of course, is the banner, Johan Cruyff, the man who, as a footballer in 1974, led Barça to victory in the championship after a thousand years of drought and who freed the Catalan sports community from inhibitions.. Another has already been released onto the beaches in rumbits, joints, porrons and bikinis.

And Barça looked again at the degenerate concepts, restored the teachings of the school of Laureano Ruiz and the third man, so that football did not hit the wall.

And then, Nunism He killed everyone again.

First to Johan. Then Quinta del Mini: Ivan de la Pena, Quique Alvarez, Celades, Oscar and Roger Garcia, Tony Velamazan, Juan Carlos Moreno…

And then another debate began.

Nunez, Nunismwhich already smelled like rotten ham, or Blue elephant.

And the windows opened. And Laporta arrived, and with him a third man, Txiki Begiristain. And those from the other model raged, those from Nunism, but the sextet arrived and the ball reappeared on the Barça backboard. It didn’t last long.

It is curious that it is with Laporta’s accession to the presidency that this model comes into question.

Or not. After all, when Chicky was his sports manager and when he was in doubt, he asked Cruyff, they both knew what to do. Deco knows that Porto is very beautiful and that one day he will live there again. And how Jorge Mendes does business. And he knows that the club is in economic chaos.

And now he knows partner, which opened up another discussion. And he points at him, at Deku.

It all started with an interview given by Barça sporting director Deco LIGHT very good Portuguese magazine. His friend did it, and the headline was impressive and convincing: “

About Porto there will always be minha cidade“. A complete declaration of principles. And this perfectly sums up what Barcelona is: the city in which he played for four years and now works as sporting director. In this interview, he left reflections that shook the debate about the future of Barcelona. He questioned the future of Barça’s playing model. The very idea worried the club to such an extent that Deco called his friend, with whom he had spent three days in Barcelona, ​​to help him solve the problem. And the friend had no problem: “It was a misunderstanding, he didn’t tell me that.” Come on, it’s decided. What a great tribute to friendship. (With journalism this is more questionable, but let’s leave it alone as a Portuguese colleague found the report very cool after spending three days with Deco in Barcelona).

But there’s something that’s still here, and that’s the amazing interview he did. Joanlu Pallas, head of the sports department Vanguard. Words, phrases, contents that Deco never denied because there was no possible misunderstanding. What he said is very clear. Partially:

He said Javi was fine: “I’m with him every day,” but that “his decision came as a surprise to me.”. Wow, you know him well, don’t you? And also that it won’t be him, that the club will choose a replacement, that he loved Cruyff’s Barça, that he had Mourinho at Porto, whom he considers a “revolutionary”. And he recalled the years when he worked under Scolari and Ancelotti “… and also with Franck at Barça.” Yes, and he added that he likes to “see a quality player on a quality team.” Ole.

And at that moment he took off his mask: “Are you angry with him (Guardiola) for leaving?” – a famous journalist asks him. “It was the club’s decision,” he replies. “Is Guardiola the best coach?” – asks Pallas. And there Deko stretches out: “When he arrived at Barça they talked about a great revolution, but it was a big lie.. Ronaldinho and I left, but there was Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets appeared, Yaya Toure, Messi, of course, Eto’o… Guardiola was smart and brought order.” Of course, he admits that Barca are the best team he has ever seen. And period.

My God.

Does Deco forget or not know that the decision to leave Barça was made by Guardiola. And Chicky thought it was very good. And the president, of course, blessed him. Because in Barcelona they knew anyone who went out after ten in the evening.. And the locker room knew. And the club knew. AND pressureno matter how close Deku was to his son-in-law, lookEchevarria – we’ll talk about this another time, it will continue… – he didn’t do much sports because Cruyff always made it very clear to him that he had to be careful in such matters.

Pep didn’t want Ronaldinho or Eto’o, but Xavi came to his office one morning and asked him to give Sam a chance because the team believed in him. And Pep gave it to him. And it remains. Javi didn’t say anything about Deku, because they were tired of Deku in that locker room a long time ago.

.

Now Deko is in charge.

Deco, who was 13 when Cruyff’s Barça won League One, He doesn’t know why Guardiola’s team won, and now he doesn’t know why Xavi’s Barca don’t win.. Because Deco doesn’t know anything. Deco spent four years at Barça and played, played well at times, but She had a great time in Bikini with Ronaldinho.. When he found out, he didn’t find out anything; for him, the third person is still Alejandro Echevarria.

Of course, Laureano Ruiz doesn’t even know who he is. Of course, he dares to question the model.

Overall, he will live in Porto again, which is very beautiful.
