It is safe to say that this season has not gone to plans for Barcelona. Not as per the fans plans nor as per the coach's plans. The season has been a very disappointing affair so far.
Barcelona is in all kind of serious problems. Lying a whole mighty 9 points behind the League leaders, Barcelona's hopes of challenging for the League is virtually non-existent. Nor Barcelona's performances have shown any signs of a resurgence or an ambition to do so.
It appears Barcelona fans just couldn't wait to get rid of their new so-called favour. What surprises me is how many were disappointed by how things have taken turn for the worse. What did they expect? I foresaw this much earlier and warned. But who listened!
Anger doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.
This quote explains the current situation at Barcelona aptly. Barcelona and their fans were blinded by their anger at the 8-2 debacle, that they could not see that the so-called new Saviour was a buffoon who managed to expertly disguised as a Genius. He knew exactly how to tap into the anger of the fan base, he understood the need to look tough and the need to put the cloak of 'Know Everything'.
He played his part to perfection. But the only problem is that with time, all his masks were bound to come off, and that's what's happening to Ronal Koeman at Barcelona!
Diego Maradona, arguably the 'Greatest Player of All Time' passed away last night due to cardiac arrest. The Footballing World has lost his most beloved son, who remained an enigma on and off the pitch.
No one has managed to create an aura around himself like the way Diego Armando Maradona managed to weave around himself. He was the man football in every definition. Every one of his actions was followed closely by millions of fans around the World. He remains the most popular footballer ever to graze a footballing pitch.
There will never be another Diego Maradona. Such was the genius of a player whose story has every element of a Hollywood thriller. The rags to rich ascension and the collapse thereafter. At his departure, we should celebrate the joy he provided to every one of us on the footballing pitch. The rest of all we should leave it to the man and his maker!
