Well FC Barcelona have lost to athletic clube 4-2 with we we saw L Min. Miles scoring we saw Levandowski scoring but it seemed like Barcelona could not cope with the intensity from athletic club
they were truly able to capitalize off of Barcelona’s I would say incompetence in the last 15 to 20 minutes in the extra time Barcelona
simply just looked too tired they seemed worned out they couldn’t connect any passes and I know that many are going to be asking who should we blame for tonight’s match and to be honest I don’t really want to blame anybody like at all
I don’t want to blame Chavy Hernandez I don’t want to blame the players I don’t want to blame the grass I don’t want to blame the just nothing I just feel like this is what’s supposed to happen
Because athletic club were the better team they were able to really play on their strengths and Barcelona didn’t there are some pros and cons believe me there are some pros in this game that I I would like to talk about because you know before we got into the second half like the from the original 90 minutes, I’m like there are some things
that I really do like from this Barcelona team and it does inspire me right to think that you know Barcelona will be great eventually in the future but just not
During this early phase of this project I know that many people do have high expectations and that Barcelona should be doing much better that Barcelona should be winning the Champions League La Liga the Copa the r and all of this but at the end of the day the type of squad that we have right
Now is not the ideal Squad that Chavi has been asking for we know that there has been some hurdles some obstacles that we had to go through as a team financially to really build the team that chave Hernandez wants and you know I remember there was this report that came out before this match that stated de was going to have to work around signing very young promising players
To join this squad because simply Barcelona cannot find the finances to bring in the players that we need and that is going to be our game plan and that is going to be our reality we have to bet on youngsters from South America and then hope for them to eventually become world-class We can’t be like let’s pick on that world-class player.
let’s pick on that world-class player unless like that world-class player is a free agent That’s the only way we can work around you know signing the players that
We want but besides that the majority of the time Barcelona are not going to be able to find the players that they need because our finances are just so strict we can’t do anything we can’t move we have to depend on young players and that is why tonight in this game against Athletic Lube Barcelona had to depend on young players.
That is why I do say that don’t be so angry with this result because we also have to have some context on the type of team that was assembled tonight we saw kuari we saw Hector Fort we saw laminal we saw many young players tonight that overperformed
Now I know that I know a lot of people will say that l Minal missed two very big chances and yes is true l Minal missed two extremely big chances that could have led to a 42 before the 90 minutes before we got into the extra time we could have we could have neglected the extra time phase if only laminal scored that last goal
but he didn’t he was one of the goal scorers and he scored a gaso it reminded all of it reminded all of us of Leonel Messi
Yes I’m going to say it reminded us of Lionel Messi but many people are going to be saying because he scored one goal but missed two that’s a bad player right so we have to remember that he is a young player he is a player that is going to be making mistakes he is 16 years old
And he was in a knockout match where he had to perform he had to score goals and there was a lot of pressure on that youngster he’s 16 and he is going to be seeing a lot of punishment from the fan base he will that is just the reality that is the reality that these players are in and what we’re going to be seeing many people are going to be saying L is trash
you did not take advantage of the opportunities and you and because of him he is the reason why Barcelona is out that is what L Min is going to have to work around for these next 20 days it’s going to be it’s they’re going to be saying it’s because of him.
I’m not going to say that I’m not going to be one of those people Yes it’s very unfortunate yes I was angry when missed those two chances that could have easily been put in away but at the end of the day he he is Young
I do think that this is his villain origin story I don’t know if you guys know what that means but that basically means there’s is a specific moment in your life that will change you.
