Chronicle.Funeral with honors for Barcelona in Paris
When Julius Caesar undertook the conquest of Gaul, the Parisii, a Celtic tribe based on a small island on the Seine, joined the conqueror without much trouble.
The name was given by the Roman general and it means those of the cauldron, pario in Latin.
It is not known what they used the happy cauldron for but it seems that the first Parisians lived on what many of their descendants live a long time later, to charge those who are passing through.
So, the toll for fording the river by the two bridges that connected the shores with its muddy island, that is what Lutecia means.
Today, the tourist.
A few years later, the consul Julius Caesar coined an expression that asks for marble:
Veni, vidi, vici
.
I arrived, saw and conquered.
He was speaking in the Senate of another of his victorious campaigns.
Blazing, relentless.
Joan Laporta arrived on Sunday night to the presidency of FC Barcelona;
on Monday, he reviewed fields and hierarchies guided by the centurion of the first legion,
Koeman
, and on Tuesday he got on the plane of the Blaugrana expedition.
Heading to Gaul.
To encourage his legionaries, he greeted them one by one.
A handshake, another, then another ... When it was General
Messi's
turn
, he distinguished him with a hug.
On the modern board called Twitter he wrote: "Heading to Paris. Our players have our full support. They have us all by their side. All the strength and confidence, team!"
Four all in a score of words of nothing.
The expedition from Barcino camped next to the Seine in the area of a metal tower, built with the pretense of showing that iron was used for building.
The great-great-grandchildren of the Parisii wanted to give them the tabarra at night, with some fireworks: they did not disturb the sleep or the strong spirit of the Catalans.
Protoconsul Laporta returned to his electronic board to record that Eiffel's shadow does not impose on him: "That our players feel the warmth and support of each and every culés. Because we are more than a club! Visit Barça ! "
Even before the game, the anointing of the druid
Pep Guardiola
returned from Manchester
.
"I'm pretty sure his personality will bring a good atmosphere and a lot of optimism to the club and across the country. I wish them all the best."
The Keylor Navas show
More than a club?
A legion.
Willing to charge.
In the rain he wanted to attend an epic night at the Coliseum of the Parc des Princes.
The symphony of the Champions thundered.
The gladiators of Laporta, those who are going to die salute you, sowed panic in the Gallic lines.
They were the Parisii of the dark nights, wandering the battlefield like a soul in pain, without a tribal chief who, appealing to instincts, would call to resist.
What would Laporta do in the box?
In the stands of the press, at times, it seemed that the fans had returned.
Shouts, protests at the penalty that gave oxygen to the Gauls, enthusiasm at Messi's shot.
We were few but the enthusiasm of the Spanish radio narrators is worth a crowd of fans.
Even the commentator of the French channel had to inform his viewers of the circumstance!
It was clear that the only member of the tribe who had taken that magic potion we call character was Navas.
He only defended the last square of local land under siege by culé.
The clock was working the anxiety of the Catalan legion.
The azulgranas of the French capital, which took three centuries to recover the name of Paris, recovered a bit of color like damsels after a soponcio.
They are miraculously alive.
A prodigy named
Keylor
and his last name is
Navas
.
Laporta, in this first expedition after his return, was not a talisman.
He arrived, he saw but he did not win.
