The martyrdom of Koeman

• Classic Madrid wins without discussion

• Incident Barça fans insult Koeman and hit his car after the classic

Around seven thirty in the afternoon, a young man, no more than 20 years old, squatting on the asphalt, was conducting a video call. "Brother! You will not believe it. The one we have bundled. We've told

everything

. But everything, brother. We hit him in the car. And

too. Yes, the one with the Rolls Royce. It was incredible, brother. The boy went about his business, proud, telling his gang those supposed heroics while the sun was hiding on Avenida Joan XXIII.

The boy was referring to an ugly incident that occurred a while before in access 14 of the Camp Nou, where Ronald Koeman and his wife,

, left the stadium by car after the defeat in the classic against Real Madrid (1-2) . A crowd rushed into the vehicle. Blows against the body, spitting, insults ... Everything seemed to be worth it, mobile phone in hand and the Tik Tok application as the preferred means of dissemination.

Young people with a similar profile tend to go to the vicinity of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper with the sole objective of interacting in their own way with the footballers. On Wednesday, October 20, after the match between Barcelona and

in the Champions League, a dozen boys, who had managed to access the entrails of the Camp Nou, asked from inside one of the elevators of the stadium the way to access the parking lot for footballers and coaching staff.

The level of tension continues to rise, with Ronald Koeman in the eye of the hurricane. President

, who knows that

will rush to pack his bags and leave Qatar at the very moment he is offered the position, intends to keep the Dutchman until the situation is already untenable. The team, however, continues to take steps backwards. Regarding results. As for collective play. Regarding the individual performance of the footballers. And the alibi for the injuries no longer seems to hold.

, a metaphor for the involution of this Barcelona, ​​played the classic with discomfort and will no longer face Rayo this Wednesday because of an elongation.

That Barça is no longer a competitive team in big duels is not just an impression, but an evidence.

Koeman, who after the defeat against Real Madrid obviated the structural tactical problems to once again focus the speech on specific mistakes - especially painful was the wrong occasion by

-, also stated: «We are getting closer and closer to winning a great rival ».

Full of defeats in the classics

Whether this is the case or not, the statistics in this regard are stark and compelling.

Koeman has lost his three classics as a coach (1-3, 2-1 and 1-2).

This situation had not existed for 85 years.

The last coach to suffer three consecutive falls against the Whites was

in the 1935-36 season.

In the League, they have not fared much better with Atlético de

, who could only start a 0-0 draw at the Camp Nou on May 8. The other two clashes with the rojiblancos, the last one on October 2, ended in defeat (2-0 and 1-0).

Although it has been in the Champions League where Koeman's Barcelona has shown the worst symptoms, no matter how much a victory in Turin in the group stage last season (0-2) led to imagine a different future.

That Juventus of the reviled

and even with

in his ranks took his revenge at the Camp Nou (0-3) and condemned the Catalans to a cross with PSG.

later destroy the Catalans (1-4), making the subsequent 1-1 in the Parc des Princes irrelevant.

Nor was there any way to disturb

(0-3)

this season

and in Lisbon, with Benfica (3-0), the Barça players returned to frolic with embarrassment.

The final of the Copa del Rey won against Athletic in La Cartuja de Sevilla (0-4) on April 17, with goals from two footballers who are no longer there (

and

) and another from someone who is still expected ( Frenkie de Jong) remains an island in the middle of an ocean of mediocrity.

Drawing is not the problem

There is no way to identify what Barcelona intends to play, as incapable with 3-5-2 as with 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. The drawing is not the problem, but the reading of the parties and the complete disorganization in the occupation of spaces. Something that leads to any static attack becoming torture in life, and also to situations such as the one that led to

opening goal

after stealing a ball in front of his own area. The center of the Barca field had been left empty of interiors. Memphis, who was the one who had lost the ball, stopped chasing Alaba when he reached the media line. And to

, pointed out by the coach when he replaced him at half-time, little could be asked of him after the conviction of defending without help to a

in a state of grace.

In this Barcelona of Koeman,

continues to act as a shock

, a footballer who, despite his efforts, is nothing more than a mirror of the decrepitude of an era.

, the striker who came to be the great auctioneer in the emergency room, has become an outcast for the Camp Nou fans, who already whistle just when they see him.

, despite Laporta's warnings, has only played 72 minutes this season.

While the Austrian

r, 18-year-old winger, has gone from being a starter in two league games (the draws against Granada and Cádiz) to not playing a single minute for a month.

Improvisation continues to be the norm.

Hope, they say, is now

, who already trains with the group.

The Barcelona directive insists that you still have to be patient.

While Koeman lives a martyrdom.
