Barca should remember, only optimists write winning histories

Laporta, like Guardiola before playing at the Bernabéu on the day Barca won 6-2, told the media that losing has consequences. "This has to end, the idea that if you don't win, no worries.” In his case, he did not refer to a single match, but to a general way of thinking at the club since his return. If you lose, things happen. That way of thinking has nothing to do with the economic situation. This is Barça. The only way to win again is to want to win again and, above all, is to be afraid of losing. That was also what Guardiola said once. "Without the fear of losing it would be impossible to continue winning, it makes us alert."

There is no money, there will be no expensive signings, the system is yet to be defined, the structure seems to be built in a disorderly way and Barça has been humiliated so many times in Europe that traveling across the continent with your head held high is hard. Barça fans have two options: stay lying on the sofa compulsively eating ice cream and licking their wounds or end the victimhood and, whatever happens, go for it all. Frustration only comes when apathy prevents you from giving it your all. It's not about having high expectations, but about displaying self-respect. Pride is the fuel that fuels greatness. Instead of talking about money, which is why calculators are already blowing smoke, we have to talk about De Jong, Pedri or Araujo. Also Riqui Puig and Ilaix. The transition is with them and it will have to be managed with Messi, who always helps. Pessimism penetrates the bones of the Camp Nou, but only optimists write winning history.
