Arturo Vidal also opened up, a total of three players has criticized Barcelona

DBasia.news – Arturo Vidal finally took part in criticizing his own team, Barcelona. Previously, Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique had already criticized the Blaugrana.

Messi, whose future at Barca is now in speculation, had said emphatically that Barcelona was weak in mid-July after his team fell 1-2 to Osasuna in the 37th LaLiga jornada.

The defeat suffered by Barcelona at the Camp Nou at the time also ensured that their eternal rival, Real Madrid, won LaLiga in the 2019/2020 season as at the same time they won 2-1 over Villarreal.

“We are too weak and fragile. It is not understandable for other teams to beat our intensity and passion. We lost too many points in the journey and that summed up our season,” Lionel Messi said after the match.

In his statement, Lionel Messi also emphasized that the Blaugrana needed to improve a lot. He also predicts that if things are the way it is, Barca will not be able to advance in the Champions League.

A month later, Barcelona ran aground in the Champions League. Not only were they left out, the Catalan club was kicked out by Bayern Munich in an embarrassing manner. Barca lost 2-8 to Bayern in the Champions League quarter-finals in mid-August.

The result that was the next blow for Barca in the 2019/2020 season sparked further criticism from Gerard Pique. He emphasized that Los Cules needed a major overhaul, not just in the player sector.

“This is not the first, or the second, or even the third,” said Pique as quoted by AP, referring to Barca’s defeats against Juventus, Roma and Liverpool in previous seasons.

“We are at a point where the club needs changes in all aspects. I mean not just the players and the coaching staff, the club needs structural changes. Over the last few years, regardless of who the coach is or who the players are on the pitch, the team does not have what it takes to compete in Europe anymore,” he said critically.

The final criticism recently came from Arturo Vidal. Although he does not have a background with Barcelona as closely as Messi and Pique, the Chilean player who joined in 2018 did not hesitate to criticize. He said Barca’s style to be out of date and criticized the lack of experienced players in the core squad due to it mostly being young players.

“Barcelona must change the way it thinks. Football has changed a lot and the DNA issue is no longer available as other teams has continued to improve in all aspects: football today is more physical, relies more on power and speed, and technique is not as important as before. “said Vidal as reported by the Daily Mail.

“The last three years are not something that Barcelona deserves. The best team in the world should not only have 13 professional players. You can’t always win with DNA alone,” he said critically.

In addition, Arturo Vidal also criticized Barcelona for being too burdensome to Lionel Messi without giving him more equal teammates. “(Lionel) Messi is the best in the world, an alien, but he needs help to achieve better results.”
