The worst of the football season 2012-13

Last update 4 June, 2013 by Alberto Llopis

The football year is passing away in the absence of the Confederations Cup and with a certain nostalgic air we have to remember those not so good moments. The unpleasantness of the course that many of the following protagonists will surely want to forget. That's why, yes In another post we collected the best of the season, now it's time to talk about the worst:

1- The economic health of the clubs: defaults, Economic sanctions and, above all, poor management by managers have put many groups on the brink of ruin.. There are several teams that do not pay their players in order and when they do, late and wrong. The BBVA League is the clearest exponent of this, but Serie A or the Greek league follow in his footsteps. The most dramatic case, that of Glasgow Rangers, who had to say goodbye to his league due to late payments.

2- The relapses of Abidal and Tito Vilanova: Illnesses always mean, as Andoni Zubizarreta said, a hard blow straight to the jaw.. Unfortunately, They attacked Barcelona and two young men, full of hope. The good within the bad, It seems that they are evolving correctly.

3- Mourinho and Real Madrid: The Portuguese was involved in controversies day in and day out. Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, Cristiano, the hobby, the Barcelona, He left no puppet with a head. And the worst thing was that he was allowed to tarnish the name of a team and a stately institution like the white one..

4- Luis Suárez and his bites: 10 matches fell to Liverpool's Uruguayan striker for biting an opponent. This act is unfortunately not new for the South American forward.. In his career he has never been expelled, but yes sanctioned 17 matches for biting. An atrocity.

5- Barkero and the insinuations of fixing: Levante was involved in a new match-fixing mess. Something similar already happened with Download not many years ago. This time, there was no evidence, simply some high-sounding statements from a player who questioned the honorability of his teammates. It has not been the only case. As a result of the case, rumors and speculation have arisen about various parties and teams., especially in the Liga Adelante. Regrettable.

6- Low attendance at stadiums. They lost more than 300.000 total spectators throughout the season compared to the previous year. Partly, due to the difficult economic situation, but also because of the high ticket prices, far above other leagues, and for some untimely hours.

7- The inequality of almost all European leagues: This campaign there was no excitement for Europe. Manchester, Barcelona, Bayern or Juventus sentenced the domestic championships at the first opportunity. One of the ingredients of football, it is without a doubt, the tension and equality between the best.

8- The referees: They were sad protagonists of major scandals again. Málaga fell controversially with a goal that was clearly off goal in the clearest example of refereeing problems. But in each European tie there were practically conflicts. Technology is for something, but UEFA seems not to want to know anything about it.

9- Brazil: a historic selection that continues to offer a regrettable image. With a World Cup just around the corner, Brazilians will have to refine a lot to win a sixth world title. They have Neymar, Hulk, Thiago Silva, and many more…but also huge doubts to solve.

10- Inter Milan. A history in low hours, not the following. After 14 seasons, will not be in Europe. Poor planning, players who don't measure up, managers who don't get it right, and at the bottom of everything…Mourinho's legacy? Either way, The fact is that Inter cannot afford setbacks like the one that happened, something extrapolated to Liverpool.
