There will be ‘Laportina’ in the dressing room

Joan Laporta, president of Barça, will be at the Ciutat Esportiva at 4:30 p.m. this Thursday to meet with the players. He will introduce them to the interim coach (Albert Capellas, except for overturning), he will explain to the staff the reasons for Koeman’s dismissal, he will announce that Xavi is the chosen one and he will harangue them.

Ronald Koeman’s umbrella gone, Laporta will ask the players to step forward. And, especially, commitment, necessary in a situation of stunted football. The arrival of Xavi will shake, as always when there is a change of coach, to the locker room. The roles will change and players who had had a place with Koeman could lose it. Others could begin to enter into the plans of the Terrassa coach.

It will be necessary to see how the dressing room takes this change of wind from Laporta, who recently was in the Ciutat Esportiva to do just the opposite, to say that Koeman was the coach. “Pay attention to him, he’s the boss,” he said at the beginning of the season … How history has changed.
