Nobody wanted to show their face and it was Pedri who ate the brown

There are many reasons why culé fans have to be sad, disappointed and even angry. Not only for the defeat and the image of helplessness shown by the team against Atlético de Madrid, nor for injuries of Gerard Piqué, Sergi Roberto and fear of Dembele. Nor just for the fact that Leo Messi and Antoine Griezmann continue without marking the differences this season 2020-21.

What should really make Barcelona nervous – and many already do – is the fact that, after a new setback in the league on the pitch of one of the biggest rivals for the league, the heavyweights of the culé locker room have shown themselves. their face. Where was Leo Messi? And Griezmann? And Jordi Alba? Busquets was not present and Piqué and Roberto had just injured themselves, so it is logical that they have not spoken to the press.

The words of Pedri and Koeman

But the ‘Movistar’ journalist had to wait several minutes at the foot of the pitch for a player to deign to show him his impressions after Saturday’s match at Wanda Metropolitano, after having already interviewed Yannick Carrasco from the “colchonero” group.

At the end, Pedri González was chosen to show his face and eat brown, a boy of 17 years who just arrived and kindly answered Ricardo Sierra’s questions, just before doing it himself Ronald Koeman. Messi did not exercise the captain in the Wanda -as he hasn’t done on other occasions-, and neither have some of his teammates who have been at the club for longer.

A scene that speaks volumes about how contaminated and broken the locker room is, and this gives the impression that Barça have succumbed to the call ‘severely miss’ having seen helplessly how Atlético de Madrid overcame him. Before the start of the 2020-21 season, it was already predicted that this year would be a transitional year, but this is no excuse for players to lose their forms or tarnish the history and good name of this club.

It is time to regain confidence

Looking ahead to the next matches, despite the bad internal management and all the injuries accumulated by the squad, who plays they will have to leave the skin and run like wild boars in search of points, triumphs and a better mood collectively. It’s time to keep rowing, even with the wind against, so that Barça can at least qualify for a title this season.

And you may not win them, but you should at least be a candidate for it. If a player wears the Barça shirt, you must know that in this club you never throw in the towel. Although everything is against and the team is surrounded by pessimism, you can always change the dynamics. For this to happen, however, everyone will have to row in the same direction. And for now, it doesn’t seem like they’re doing it.
