Syria’s state-run television
channel has made the astonishing claim that the Barcelona soccer team is
assisting a group of rebel fighters by delivering coded messages via
its tactical formations...
Al-Dunya TV aired a bizarre feature Sunday outlining how Barcelona
transmitted details of effective smuggling routes that could be used to
distribute arms to dissident fighters. The program repeated charges
originally made in December. According to the TV reporter, the Barca
side’s positioning on the field allegedly was deliberately set up to
recreate a giant map, with players representing smugglers and the ball
depicting a cache of arms.
A run from Andres Iniesta is said to portray the first part of the
route, while the end of the move, where superstar World Footballer of
the Year Lionel Messi passes the ball, indicates the successful handover
of the shipment, according to Al-Dunya.
All season, Michael Cox has been trying to decipher the
evolution of Barca's formations away from a set 4-3-3, but he's been looking in the wrong place for explanations. He should have been looking at maps of Syria. And doesn't this allegation really end the debate as to whether Barca is the best team of all-time? If they have been winning while being hamstrung by the need to send covert messages to rebel groups, then they truly are the best.
