The king of Barcelona has fallen, and Camp Nou no longer has the demeanor of an elf king.

The blow to Barcelona's broken backbone was incomparably loud and widespread, as the core and dominant force of the team not only had an impact on the pitch, but also permeated all aspects of the team.

Barcelona's dressing room contradictions have been running through the whole season, with coaches, players, and chaos everywhere, and this vein is also the one in which Barcelona has entered the dark track.

Marca newspaper reorganizes Barcelona's contradictions and presents them in front of the world's fans in a comprehensive way.

From the "Black Sheep Incident" to the "Fraud Gate", many contradictions finally buried the great Barcelona!

Barcelona's defeat was foreshadowed, and despite the club's repeated orders forbidding its own people to expose the club's conflicts to the public, paper could not contain the fire, and the Camp Nou has been shrouded in noise and contradictions for a long time.

The contradiction was first highlighted by Edmilson's speech.

'There are a lot of good people in the dressing room, but there are also people who don't have any goals. We players and coaches form a big family, but many times, there is a 'black sheep' in this family. ”

In late November last year, the Brazilian defender's statement unveiled the contradictions in the Barcelona dressing room.

Last season, the outspoken Edmilson once said that "professional players should train more and participate less in nightlife", which was publicly robbed by Deco and other teammates.

This time, the Brazilian's "black sheep" caused an uproar in the entire locker room.

Although no names were named, there is unanimous speculation that the "Black Sheep" refers to several players led by Ronaldinho.

Although the "Black Sheep Incident" was quelled by the intervention of the club's hierarchy, it caused a very subtle change in the dressing room environment.

Sources revealed. After that, there was a clear estrangement between the rank-and-file players and the "Ronaldinho party".

What made Edmilson laugh even more was that. On January 11 this year, the team celebrated the traditional "invisible friends" festival (team members gave gifts to each other according to the results of the lottery. But I don't know who the giver is), the gift that Brazil received at the back was actually a black sheep.

After the Christmas break, the Brazilian did not arrive late this time as he did last season, but since January, the Brazilian has been disappearing due to injuries.

Even if it appears from time to time, it doesn't perform well.

As a result, the rumors about Ronaldinho's "fraudulent injury" quietly spread.

In the face of these rumors, Rijkaard has always insisted that "Ronaldinho is indeed injured". However, the club's medical affairs team issued a statement on March 16, saying that "after examination, Ronaldinho has not been found to have any muscle injury" and that "we are issuing this statement with the consent of the players".

These remarks put the coach in a huge embarrassment and angered the Brazilian star himself.

Barcelona's internal contradictions are at their extreme.

It was also because of this statement that Ronaldinho's departure from Barcelona was accelerated.

Although on April 5, Barcelona issued another statement saying that Ronaldinho had broken a muscle fiber in his right leg and basically said goodbye to the season early, but this could not restore the Brazilian's damaged image.

The aftermath of the "injury gate" is not over. On April 9, Barcelona board member Martin unexpectedly said: "The club is pretending to be injured. Isolate some players. ”

This act of adding fuel to the fire made the whole team very angry. Afterwards, captain Puyol asked Martin to give an explanation to the whole team. And Deco, who was injured with Ronaldinho, was even more angry and said that he was considering the possibility of accusing Martin of defamation.

Eventually, with Laporta's mediation, the matter was settled.

But the club didn't sack Martin, which made it difficult for some players to accept.

During the season, Deco said several times that "if I don't win the championship this season, I will leave", which shook the morale of the army.

On 20 April, Samuel Eto'o gave the club another problem: "If we don't win the title next season, then I'll have to leave." ”

Cameroonians meant to be humless and receive high wages, but this was quickly interpreted by the media as "Eto'o is threatening Barcelona".

It's better for the players to say less.

If a team doesn't repeatedly steal the spotlight because of their on-field performances, then such exposure is undoubtedly pale and pathetic.

In the darkness there is still a glimmer of hope.

At Camp Nou this season, the signs of a new king have become more and more obvious, and that person is Messi!

Before Christmas last year, in the first leg of the national derby, Messi missed the game because of a torn muscle, and as a result, Barcelona, who could not find the key to the goal, suffered a heavy defeat to Real Madrid at Camp Nou.

Since then, repeated injuries have almost ruined Messi's entire season, and the scene of him being injured and spilling tears on the pitch in the Champions Cup has shaken the whole Catalan team.

And the day he returned to Argentina to recuperate, the stumbling Barcelona almost counted the days on their fingers waiting for his return.

After an eye-catching performance in the last round of the league to help the team sweep Valencia 6-0, some media broke the news that Chelsea were willing to pay 100 million euros to take Messi from Camp Nou, which caused a small panic among Barcelona fans, many people feared that Barcelona's future flag would flee from Camp Nou.

However, Messi insisted before the national derby: "No matter what my current team-mate does at the end of the season, I will stay here anyway." ”

Although judging from the information disclosed by the media, Messi has a good personal relationship with Ronaldinho, when rumors of a summer purge were constantly circulating at Camp Nou, Messi expressed to the media more than once that he hoped that Ronaldinho would stay.

Of course, this is just a private emotion, and on business, the outside world agrees that if Ronaldinho stays at Camp Nou, then Messi will never be able to stand on his own feet!

The reason is simple, Ronaldinho's influence on Barcelona is not only his individual competitive role, he will dominate the team's tactical system and team action.

Barcelona's plans for a new round of rebuilding in the summer are clearly the result of a mistake in the decision to make only minor changes last summer.

Last summer's tweaks did not save Barcelona from a dark reality, and the Barcelona management also realized that the team from player to manager may need a near-tear-down construction to make a new turnaround.

So Ronaldinho has to go, coach Rijkaard's position is also shaky, and many other stars in the team have been on the club's purge list, only waiting for the new manager to give construction advice and make a final decision.

But Barcelona understand that the future Camp Nou must have Messi! (To be continued.) )
