Barcelona seems to retrace the path of recovery with Xavi Hernández as technical director and several young people as the flag, such as Gavi and Pedri. Before, emblematic figures such as Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi left the team, and Ronald Koeman, the last coach hired by Josep María Bartomeu, was fired.
The 58-year-old Dutchman was interviewed on the program Hoge Bomen and told in detail what was the moment when he was told that he was no longer the culé counselor. “How did Laporta fire me? One thing that hurt me was that the players were sitting behind us on the plane, while I had to go sit next to them. He's always saying I'm a legend of the club... Prove it then!” , he demanded emphatically.
Two weeks ago, speaking to the newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, the former defender had been blunt. “It was at the insistence of the club's management that I agreed to the departure of some players to put the finances in order,” he argued about the first cleanup that included Suarez and Ivan Rakitic, among others.
“But then, when you see someone being brought in for 55 million euros shortly after they let Lionel Messi go, then you wonder if there wasn't something else going on. Why did Messi have to leave?” , he wondered, in relation to the signing of Ferran Torres.
“I wasn't Laporta's coach. I had that feeling from the first moment, after the elections there was no click. That necessary support from above was lacking. The important thing wasn't the money for me. I really wanted to succeed as a coach at Barcelona, to do everything I could, but I realized that Laporta wanted to get rid of me because I wasn't appointed by him,” he added about the relationship that ended in breaking up.
In fact, before the start of this season, the Barsa leadership flirted with other names that did not close, so he ended up accepting Koeman's continuity until bad results precipitated his departure. “Laporta had told me a thousand times that Xavi would not be his coach because he lacked experience. But he needed a shield, someone to hide behind,” he said his opinion as to why the president decided on the former midfielder, who despite the ups and downs in the results, decided to return to the sources.
“They didn't give me the time they gave him. I still find it painful. Every coach needs time and patience from the board,” he concluded his claim in the note 15 days ago, which he now completed with the scene of his dismissal.
