the week of wonders

We continue the drama of the war that we can only wish for and hope that it will end soon and the people will live in peace. Around here, after the earthquake the Germans seemed to return to football calm on Monday but in a way, I can say incredible, Cádiz gave us a punch to the forehead that forced the total KO. The next day, the president’s press conference trying to explain what happened to the German avalanche. little to Perry Mason, the club seems responsible but not guilty. Everyone who puts in the intention they want.

Surprisingly if more than 30,000 seats were sold from the club, in one way or another, only a declared collection of less than 4 million euros was reached. We shouldn’t turn the page on all of this, in the hope that it won’t happen again.

All this, wrapped up in the open and live statements he made Gerard Piqué about his involvement in the organization of the Super Cup. It seems clear that there is nothing against the law, although it is surprising that an active football player has this role in the RFEF and especially the way of defining the president himself, whether for a business, for the Olympic Games, to promote AFE presidency, etc. It’s the middle of the week, Luis Rubiales He starts giving answers and acknowledges that there is a percentage in his emoluments based on RFEF revenue. He seemed to realize that this was not very clear and decided to abandon this method and take advantage of another method of paying for his dedication.

With all of this, we arrived on Thursday, with the game in San Sebastián, in a perfect setting, our team showing its face, fighting, running, even if it creates very little football and only a header from ‘auba’ decant the marker and we benefit from local inefficiency. That’s how he recognizes Xaviwho after some time revealed that that the current situation of football requires a lot of patience because even with reinforcements, it costs a lot to be brilliant and win games.

In all of this, the Conde de Godó Trophy was held at RCT Barcelona with great organization and public presence, even with more rain than desired. Friday has finally arrived and we have a great show at Camp Nou for the women’s group. These matches created a Barça fandom because I have the impression that most of the spectators are young people who usually can’t go to Barça matches. This is very positive for future fans of our club. In addition, the women’s team game has a fantastic offensive sense and very few backs and horizontals and this creates the continuous illusion of reaching the opposite goal. All aspects of this football are very positive.

Sant Jordi came out this intense week and the streets of Catalonia’s cities and towns were full of excited people handing out roses, buying books and this was our recovered party. In the early hours of Sunday, Betis won the Cup in a great match between the two teams, very exciting and that was resolved to exacerbate things in the final penalty, which was also marked by that side that debuted at that time. Valverde then I don’t know why he left us somewhere else. And the week closed with the Estadi disaster against Rayo Vallecano.

Congratulations, Marc and Jordi!

The president of RCT Barcelona, jordi cambrawas part of a family with a great culé tradition and in the 70s, when I was in the technical service of the club, an uncle of his, Raymond Cambrais part of the directive of montal and I remember we talked a lot in football. On Sant Jordi’s day, the current ‘presi’ ​​has a birthday in addition to the day of his name. As a result, he invited presidents and friends to a meeting at the ‘village’ facilities, which were very emotional and where we met racket players, including Tamayo, president of the Catalan Federation today. The same day he retired from tennis Marc Lopez in a lovely deed. He has won many important contests, especially in doubles, including gold at the Rio Olympics with Rafa Nadal. He started in Pompeia and we need to wish him a long life and greet him.
