Something strange underlies in the relationship between Laporta Y Koeman. The president on Saturday dodged questions about the coach continuity. It is true that the dutch has a contract until 2022, but the new president has not been forceful with him. Not even in the electoral process (“Koeman will be judged by results and the game“), nor in the inauguration speech (in which, yes, he slipped a” total confidence, Ronald “), and neither in the victory in the Cup.
Laporta, definitely, it has not been forceful. Koeman has also not guaranteed that he will be Barça's coach and, in that yes but no, Barça walks. A unresolved tension what should settle in the coming dates, but that may have a internal background, Koeman was a coach chosen by Josep Maria Bartomeu and Laporta hasn't grasped the Wembley hero's flag too tightly. No illusion. Something surprising.
It also flies over the shadow of Xavi. Despite having condition on the candidacy of Víctor Font in the shade, Xavi left the open door to Laporta, which according to some sources could have contacted the president to be the Barça coach 2021-22. This Saturday night was not the best to make grandiose statements, but we will have to be attentive to Koeman's appearance in the preview of the game against Getafe.
