Analysis of José Mourinho's Impact on Barça
In the summer, I told you:
Barça's best signing this season isn't Gordon, it isn't
Adeyemi, it isn't Rodri. His name is José Mourinho.
This is Barça's best signing.
Two and a half months later, I have to tell you something: I
underestimated it. Why did I say that at the time?
An outdated coach, 16 years without a Champions League,
13 without a league title,
practically thrown out of every place he has been lately, he has
left almost every club badly, and the squad he inherited now was,
to me, much worse than the one he had during that spell
between
2010 and 2013. I think time, so far, is proving
that he is the bes— the best signing for Barça,
with all due respect to Gordon,
Adeyemi, and Rodri. And above all, what time is proving is that
he came to
do the same as in 2010, stir things up and tarnish the competition.
That's why Florentino signed him.
Congratulations to everyone who thought he was coming in Zen mode,
all calm, that he'd changed, or so they said.
Not at all.

En verano os dije: el mejor fichaje del Barça esta temporada no es Gordon, no es Adeyemi, no es Rodri. Se llama José Mourinho. Este es el mejor fichaje del Barça. Dos meses y medio después, os tengo que decir una cosa: me
quedé corto. ¿Por qué dije eso en su momento? Entrenador caduco, dieciséis años sin Champions, trece sin una liga, prácticamente rebotado de todos los sitios en los que ha estado últimamente, ha salido mal de casi todos los clubes y la plantilla que heredaba ahora, para
mí, mucho peor que la que tuvo en ese tramo entre 2010 y 2013. Yo creo que el tiempo, de momento, lo está demostrando, que está siendo el mech-- el mejor fichaje del Barça, con permiso de Gordon, de
Adeyemi, de Rodri. Y sobre todo, lo que está demostrando el tiempo es que vino a hacer lo mismo que en 2010, a enredar y a ensuciar la competición. Para eso le ha fichado Florentino. Felicidades a todos los que creíais que venía en modo zen,
tranquilito, que había cambiado, se decía. Nada.
