Barcelona Players Must Show More Anger When We Lose Crucial Games – Gundogan

Barcelona midfielder, Ilkay Gundogan has come out to urge his teammates to express themselves more emotionally. This is coming following their defeat by Real Madrid in the Classico, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he would like to see more anger and disappointment when they lose such important games because that will make everyone step up their game when next a big match comes up.

Gundogan added that he did not join Barcelona to lose crucial La Liga matches that could end up deciding the title race.

His words, “I come from the dressing room and obviously people are disappointed after such a big game, such an important game and such an unthinkable result, I would like to see more anger, more disappointment.

This is part of the problem, they have to express more emotions when you lose and when you know you can play better, you have to do better in certain situations and we don’t react.

I didn’t come here to lose these kinds of games or to allow these gaps to open up. I also have a responsibility as a senior player not to allow these things to happen to the team, we need to hang in there more.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.

There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).

From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
