Ruling beyond Soto Grado

The Barça of Hansi Flick He is a solo leader. Three games, three narrow wins and two home runs. Last night, in Vallecas, it was even more difficult than the debut in Mestalla. Yesterday, Barça had to win the game three times. First because he came out asleep, like a champion, like many times in his history and, also, in his recent past. When it depends on himself, when a win goes on, the players think they will win because of the shirt, because of their pretty face or because of their talent… and the rival paints your face. Ten minutes later, when Rayo took the lead on the scoreboard, they earned merit by overcoming that sleepy Barça. It’s coming to Vallecas, seeing that small stadium, with no stands and, automatically, lazy to play. So, the first time of those flip It is a real chestnut. After the break they improved a lot. The entrance of Dani Olmoinscribed and inspired, revolutionized everything. Even the arbitration of Soto Grade. In the first minute he ate the trip of Lejeune to the debutant forward. If last year you didn’t see the entry shot Lamine Yamal in the goal of the Bernabéu, in the goal that could hook Barça in the League, how can I see that clear foul. The most serious thing is with VAR, Figueroa Vazquez He didn’t warn her of anything. On the other hand, in what 1-2 with a goal from Lewandowski, Soto Grade He let the game go on because that was clear to him Koundé He recovered the ball innocently, the VAR did step in, the referee went to the screen and, seeing the image repeated seven times from two different angles, disallowed the culé goal. It’s a scandal to go wrong like that, in such a clear image. It is clear that after recovering the ball with one foot, Koundé Another must support the ground so as not to fall. But stopping the picture ruins the action and makes things appear that aren’t. Barça, who had already won the match, had to win again in the remaining twenty minutes. And he did Dani Olmothe hero of the night, the star signing of the year, the young player back in the nest, thanks to a wonderful assist from Lamine Yamal. 9 points out of 9 possible. A good start with a lot of scares. Worst? The damage of Marc Bernal. We have the midfielder at home and we have to wish him the best and find solutions.

Nike and Barça, a good business

It makes no sense for Barça and Nike not to continue together and, therefore, all’s well that ends well. Two powerful brands, together, had to stay linked and, in the end, common sense and business prevailed. If Real Madrid is Adidas, City is Puma, if United is Adidas… Nike doesn’t let Barça get away. Its global logo on the chest of Barça is a necessity not to be lost in the football market and in the European implementation of the Portland company. Nike has PSG but, neither for marketing nor for effect, it’s not the same. And even less without Messi, Neymar or Mbappé. If the Barça-Nike contract that began in 1997, with Josep Lluís Núñez and Sandro Rosell sitting on opposite sides of the negotiating table, is extended to Laporta, the transfer will be full circle for Barça. More years, more money per season and a renewal bonus to save in 2024-25, although it seems a financial sin to now use more than 100 million at once to cover it all. All’s well that ends well, although many injuries and self-branded t-shirt prototypes were destroyed at the same speed they were woven.

Trouble even for the captain

With the departure of Sergi Roberto, it was said that the captain should be Ter Stegen. The German goalkeeper is in his tenth season at Barça and no one has had more stripes than him. The rest is internal democracy. The players decided and there were Araújo, De Jong, Pedri and Raphinha ready to be put on the armband with “senyera”. Of course, none of the Catalans among the five captains is unusual. And no player ever lived at La Masia. Queer. Unusual, at least. Araújo’s involvement in Barça has been full since his arrival at Barça B, but he has not settled at La Masia. Already in the first team, he offered to play for promotion with the reserve team against Sabadell, while two other famous names were ruled out due to injuries in their absence. The Uruguayan’s promise goes beyond anecdotal Instagram messages. Of course, the votes inside the locker room decided something that could be smelled: Lewandowski’s talent did not allow him to be among the five most voted, despite his 36 years and his many individual achievements trophy that puts him among the greatest in the world of football. . His way of winning over his teammates is through goals. As for Ter Stegen and that “Visca Catalunya” missing from his speech, he will certainly never be forgotten again.
