Pochettino ‘breaks’ Barça

“You are the owner of your silence and the slave of your words”. This aphorism by the Greek philosopher Aristotle surely weighs heavily on the fate of the Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino. For the second time in half a year, Abidal's second in sports management, Ramon Planes, will try to place the former Tottenham coach as the ideal candidate to lead the club and for the second time the president Josep Maria Bartomeu will hesitate, asking his hard core for advice.

And it is very difficult to bring to Can Barça a person who throughout his career has been so ‘anti culé’. Phrases as anthological as “Before I would go to my farm in Argentina than to train Barça”, “the values ​​that I defend are different from those of Barça”, “It is impossible for me to go to Barça” or “Xavi is my enemy” illustrate Pochettino's recent past and show his style book, totally contrary to Blaugrana DNA.

The 'real' possibility of Pochettino joining the club it can become the ultimate bomb that implodes the club. In fact, several managers, senior executives and even heavyweights of the workforce have shown, both before and now, their bewilderment and dissatisfaction with this option.

As AS has learned, It is not true that the Argentine has defenders in the locker room. Although it is true that there may be a specific case due to their affinity as compatriots, Most heavyweights are totally against the signing of Pochettino, a decision that they consider to be an unprecedented historical error. The rejection not only reaches the dressing room but some offices are “hallucinating” with the mere approach of the Argentine coach on the table.

And if within the club there are many reluctance to Pochettino, outside the rejection is unanimous. It cannot be ruled out that if Bartomeu finally chooses the former Espanyol captain to lead the club, a motion of censure is presented immediately, led by Víctor Font and Joan Laporta.
