Tras cuatro años y medio, la
afición reclama al entrenador de Santpedor que dé un paso adelante en Europa y
elimine esta noche al Dortmund
Atesora mucha credibilidad el
City en Inglaterra, ganada a pulso durante años, y en cambio se sospecha del
equipo de Guardiola cuando sale a Europa. La hemeroteca no es buena compañera
de viaje. Pero tras casi un lustro, la gente reclama al entrenador catalán que
alcance unas semifinales de la Champions. Ha llegado la hora de dar un paso
adelante. Eliminar al Dortmund tiene que verse como un imperativo tras las
decepciones de estos últimos años.
El 2-1 de la ida en el Etihad
puede engañar a más de uno. Esto no está sentenciado: “No vamos a a defender la
renta que tenemos”, aseguró Pep, que no quiere salir a especular ni a dibujar
un plan de partido conservador. Quiere ir a por un triunfo que rearme a un City
que quiere olvidar la derrota frente al Leeds. Sin Agüero, y con la duda de
Laporte, el cuadro de Manchester se presenta en Alemania ante un rival que dio
mucha más guerra de la esperada una semana atrás.
Sin que marcara Haaland, en
boca de todos, el Dortmund sacó su lado más rebelde: “La confianza es enorme,
pero con eso no nos basta. Va a ser tremendamente complicado remontar, pero
tenemos que ser valientes. Hemos demostrado que podemos hacerle frente a
cualquier grande de Europa”, manifestó ayer en la previa Terzic. Un entrenador
con tiempo finito en el equipo, aunque quiere irse por la puerta grande. Jadon
Sancho es otra vez baja. Marco Reus, la gran duda.
A estas alturas el Dortmund no
tiene mucho que perder. Mucho menos que el City, el gran esperado en la mesa de
los favoritos a una Champions que se le ha resistido hasta ahora. Nadie puede
pedirle a Guardiola que sea campeón pero casi cinco años después de aterrizar
en Inglaterra está obligado a alcanzar unas semifinales. El City las necesita.
Después de maravillar con su juego en la Premier, el equipo tiene que abandonar
sus miedos y dar un puñetazo sobre la mesa en Europa.
