Barcelona took a bold step to ensure their
continued dominance by petitioning FIFA to rewrite
the rules of football so that possession of the ball
counts for more than goals scored. Following two
important losses over a four day span to Chelsea
and Real Madrid in which Barcelona dominated
possession of the ball but still failed to score more
goals than their opposition, they decided that now
was the time to act.
"Football is obviously broken," said Barcelona
midfielder, and defender of all that is right, Xavi.
"When the team that just scores the most goals is
ruled the winner over a team that holds the ball
for the vast majority of the match only because the
rules say so, something is very wrong. And it is
time we correct that wrong. Because Cesc is
suffering."
Xavi is not the only Barcelona player speaking out
on this issue, though. After Barcelona's 1-0 loss to
Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League
semifinal despite maintaing 79 percent of
possession, Andres Iniesta labeled the match
"unjust. " A sentiment that teammate Sergio
Busquests echoed after Barcelona lost a decisive
match in the Spanish league title race to rivals Real
Madrid by a score of 2-1 even though the Catalans
kept 72 percent of possession.
"We hope that FIFA will finally take this matter
seriously and take action," Xavi continued, standing
on a table so he could be seen. "It is time for all
other clubs to resume their poor imitation of our
style of play and lose to us with dignity. After all,
everyone knows that playing disciplined defense
within the rules of the game and then using
patience and precision to score on the counter
attack is still cheating and equivalent to puppy
murder. Actually, it's worse. Defending is worse
than puppy murder."
When reached for comment on Barcelona's
petition, a FIFA spokesman said they are taking
these concerns quite seriously and the public
should be far more interested in this than
anything to do with corruption..
