Real Madrid is going smoothly, but Barcelona ushered in a dark age!

This is the Catalan media's evaluation of the current status of the La Liga duo.

It is generally believed that Real Madrid has entered a period of peace under Calderon's administration, while Laporta's Barcelona has taken a sharp turn for the worse!

The Catalan media listed 7 major problems as the reason why Barcelona suddenly showed signs of collapse this season.

Reason [-]: Barcelona suffered from the "superstar syndrome" of Real Madrid in the Florentino era.

Today's Barcelona is more and more like Florentino's "Galaxy Battleship", with the same expression, the same pace, and the same vices.

The year after year of hunger has disappeared, the Barcelona players now feel full, and an honor has already made them lose their appetite before it comes out.They have won two league titles, two Spanish Super Cups and the team already feels very satisfied.

Rijkaard's team is now more concerned about things other than sports. The superstars have become accustomed to the absence of training to attend advertising conferences. Even Barcelona chairman Laporta is also in the fierce competition for the La Liga championship. At that time, Barcelona went to Egypt to play a time-consuming and labor-intensive commercial game. The appearance fee of 150 million euros may be the price for Barcelona to bleed again.

Reason [-]: Too ambitious.

It's good for a team to have ambition, but it's not good to be arrogant if you don't refer to reality.

At the beginning of the season, Barcelona shouted the slogan of winning all championships!It's a pity that it caused the team to exhaust their energy for all kinds of tasteless trophies, and.In addition to the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona has nothing so far.The Champions League was eliminated by Liverpool, and the Copa del Rey was humiliated by Getafe. Now there is La Liga. In fact, the defense of La Liga only exists in theory. No one believes that Real Madrid will give away the championship. This is not La Liga. Porta had imagined the situation, however.If Barcelona had been able to concentrate and strive for one or two championships, they might not have lost both sesame seeds and watermelons.

Reason three: Rijkaard regressed.

Unlike the constant wise decisions last season, Rijkaard made enough mistakes this season.From no defensive midfielder to single defensive midfielder, from the adventure of 343 formation to the conservative 433 formation, people don't even know what Rijkaard wants to do.

Although Rijkaard said he would stay at Barcelona.But even he himself is not sure whether he can stay on the coaching bench at the Nou Camp next season.

in addition.Without Ten Carter beside him, Rijkaard also lost the in-depth dialogue with the players. This season, Rijkaard's assistant Neskens is of average ability and introverted, so he cannot form a good relationship with Rijkaard. Replenish.The Barcelona coaching staff lacks a kind of authority, a person who can slap the table and get angry at critical moments.

Reason four: Broken locker room.

Despite many denials, Barça's dressing room is now divided.Eto'o's attack on Rijkaard and Ronaldo in Villafranca opened the inside story of the chaos in the Barcelona dressing room.For the first time, people saw that Barcelona, ​​which has always given people a harmonious impression, also hides so many dark corners.

The relationship between Eto'o and Rijkaard, Eto'o and Ronaldo can't go back to the past. People are talking about the struggle between the Laporta faction and the Rosell faction, but in fact, Barcelona has more It is selfish.

This is the result of what Rijkaard calls the players' "self-management" strategy.

Reason five: Ronaldinho did not perform well.

Ronaldinho's performance throughout the season has failed to meet the expectations of fans, whether in Spain or Europe.Ronaldinho's brother never stopped flirting with AC Milan, which brought a lot of uneasiness to Barcelona.

Ronaldinho's image has also been questioned by fans, from the belly fat to the inexplicable "kissing disease".His overall image this season has been mediocre, apart from individual moves and some set-piece goals.It's hard to say that he played the role of a superstar.

The scoring statistics are still worthy of recognition, but they are far from the standard of the talented Ronaldinho.Fans expect him to play better.But first he needs to work hard.

Reason six: poor physical fitness.

This is another direct manifestation of Barcelona's "galactic battleship".This season, Barcelona's physical fitness has always been poor. The players can't run. Even if they play once a week, it is difficult for Barcelona players to last for 90 minutes. Everyone is criticizing the coaching staff for not working well.

Half of Ronaldinho's training time is in the gym instead of the training ground. Many players also try to avoid the training ground and hide in the gym.

Reason seven: The contract is not in place.

The players introduced by Barcelona this season have generally failed to meet people's requirements.Zambrotta, Thuram, and Gudjohnsen have not really integrated into Barcelona's tactical system, and none of them can play the role of Larson who can be in place at any time.

Many people think that Barcelona's vice-chairman Becky Christian, who is in charge of signing, should take the main responsibility. Fans began to miss the former vice-chairman Rosell who was very good at transfer issues.

The problems concentrated on Barcelona began to explode intensively. In addition to some general competitive problems, the problems of Barcelona's top management began to be revealed.

The word "cleaning" began to appear on the lips of Barcelona executives, which proves that the club has truly recognized the problem.

Cruyff said long ago: "Football is cyclical. Each cycle is about three to four years. It is very difficult to extend it. It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business. It is already very difficult for individuals to maintain their state for a long time. , It is even more difficult to keep the whole team brilliant. Now Barcelona has reached the time to decide who to buy and who to sell, and the vision cannot be limited to just one season."

Barcelona's top executives were not prepared to clean up the team. Barcelona's vice-chairman Bekiristan once said that the cycle of Barcelona's lineup has not ended.

"There will be players leaving, but not too many."

Rijkaard has also denied that Barcelona will carry out a revolution.

"Barcelona doesn't need a revolution, because most of the players are performing well, and the club doesn't need to make too many changes to the lineup."

The reason why Barcelona insisted on not cleaning the lineup before is because Chairman Laporta carefully designed the "2010 Plan" for the team. Most of the players in the team have signed contracts with the club until 2010. Aggressiveness can be maintained until 2010, but now it seems that this is simply not realistic.

Barcelona's reconstruction plan must be launched in advance, and the top management made it clear: "We are planning to build another great team to satisfy the fans and members. Now it's time for a change. Winning the championship will not change our signing plan, because this is a decision we have made over the course of the season."

Rijkaard realized that his coaching position is not stable: "I am willing to stay, but it is not up to me." Once Barcelona fails to win the championship, Rijkaard is likely to be forced to leave Barcelona. Both technically and tactically, the Dutch have brought Barcelona into a dead end!
