It seems that Bayern game was a wake up call for everybody in Barcelona. Even thou everybody knew who the players were, who the coach is and visited the training ground during the pre-season, it seems that they all were far more positive (or ignorant) about the whole situation at Camp Nou. And then Bayern came and gave everybody in Catalonia a reality check. And all of a sudden, everybody realized that the team is unbalanced, that the coach is not among European’s elite and that the three most exciting strikers are still injured. And both coach an captain said the same thing about the situation: “that’s what there is”.Once there was a team, they were called BarcelonaAnd days after a humiliating defeat at home with no shots on goal, Koeman is all of a sudden on the hot seat. Reports from Barcelona are saying that board members were divided on the issue, mainly because they would have to pay the Dutchman around 1.5 billion Ksh, but also, there are no good managers on the market at the moment. President Laporta was also annoyed by the result and some of Koeman’s statement in the press („Thanks to me, this club has a future“, „Laporta spoke too much and was not wise on two occasions“), but decided it was for the best to keep quiet for now. In fact, he even cancelled some public appearances these days, in order to avoid question’s about the Dutchman. Barcelona is playing it’s next three games against favorable opposition (Granada, Cadiz, Levante), and with 9 points and more attacking setup, maybe the situation will come down a bit. 22:00 (1.60) Celta (3.90) Cadiz (6.75)The board of directors have announced losses of 62 billion for the 2020/21 financial year, while setting a budget of 99 billion for the 2021/22 campaign. The next Assembly will be held before the Valencia match in October, and by that time, maybe Koeman will be the subject again, but a more serious one. Or maybe the board will just be there to confirm the appointment of the new coach.
