They say that comparisons are odious, although sometimes they are unavoidable, and more so in the world of football. The FC. Barcelona dismissed Ronald Koeman less than a year ago as coach of the Barça team after chaining a bad run of results that ended all the confidence (which was little) that Joan Laporta had in him. The truth is that if we look back, the Dutch coach did not have it easy at all during his time in Can Barcaespecially in his second year.
Upon his arrival, he had to make decisions that no other coach had dared to make until then, such as the departure of Luis Suarezbut only a year later he had to face the most serious economic and sports crisis in recent times in the FC. Barcelona and ended up leaving the Camp Nou even Leo Messi because the club was unable to pay the player’s record. Ronaldo Koeman finished the transfer market for the 2021/2022 season having as strikers Braithwaite, Depay, Luuk de Jong, Ansu Fati injured, Aguero injured (who would not return until October and later withdrew due to heart problems) and Dembélé injured. A somewhat tricky scenario with which the Dutchman fought in the best way he could by raising soccer players from the subsidiary like Nico, Gavi, Abde or Jutgla.
After a poor run of results, FC. Barcelona made the decision to dismiss him and bring Xavi Hernandezand with him they came Aubameyang, Adama Traoré and Ferrán Torres to redirect the situation, and it was done, but not in the way they expected, that’s why the FC. Barcelona decided to activate the levers and with them to sign Lewandowski, Raphinha, Koundé, Christensen, Kessie and renew Dembele. A practically new team for Terrasa. Even with all this, and as the comparisons are hateful, the numbers of the current Barça coach do not exceed those of Koeman.
With Koeman at the helm, the Barça team, having a worse squad, in principle, than the current one, scored 141 goals (almost two per game), whereas Xavi Hernández’s men have 69. In defense it is true that they have improved the 77 goals they the Dutch received, for the 42 that Xavi’s have conceded, but again Koeman wins again, since he got 60& of the victories with the Barça team, while Xavi has only achieved 54%. In addition, we must remember that Koeman won a Copa del Rey and that with Xavi at the helm, the team was eliminated from the Champions League, Europa League, Spanish Super Cup, Copa del Rey and finished 2nd in the league, and let’s remember, with a squad supposedly better. Which one do you prefer?
