they had cleaned the yellow out, red in the Jersey is striped, like the flag of Catalonia. On the chest the Logo of the Association, in addition to the encounter: Catalunya – Veneçuela. A crisis Region, which wants to free itself from Spain. Against a crisis-a Nation whose President is disputed and characterized by violence. Venue: Girona, in Northern Catalonia. Even a trophy there was to win on Monday night.

it was only a friendship. One that had, for the Parties a different meaning. The Catalans called it a historical meeting, and presented their Jersey days ago. Your last game is over two years. And the array that it had in it. The Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué, in 2010, world champion with Spain, was there. Once called the new Messi praised Bojan Krkic and Marc Bartra, who defended until the summer of 2017 for Dortmund. The 38-year-old Xavi Hernandez should represent Catalonia.

The guests from Venezuela under the Regime of Nicolás Maduro, effort, opponents of such friendly games. And because of this, Maduro had done in Catalonia, popular, by guthiess the independence aspirations of the Region, came the invitation from the North-East of Spain. Maduro described the game as “a sign of friendship and solidarity”. And Venezuela is not just any opponent, the Team had beaten on Friday in Madrid, Argentina 3:1.

“Catalonia!”

the Other hand, the game didn’t matter. Fifa, for example, Catalonia is not a recognized Association. Thus, it was for Xavi’s club Al-Sadd a Light, his flagship Star to command, he had to stay at home. In case of non-official countries, associations and clubs have a duty to their players, even if they take place, such as in this case – in the from the world Association specified period of time. “I’m going to be here in Qatar, your most ardent Fan,” wrote Xavi on Instagram, “Catalonia!” The Spanish club Rayo Vallecano, Valladolid and Huesca prevented the use of its Catalan players, they should concentrate on the relegation battle in Spain. And the Spanish press was reporting on this game anyway.

Venezuela, for its part, had to contend with very different problems. The team is caught in the power struggle between the Opposition and the government. She was in Madrid prior to the game against Argentina by Antonio Ecarri visited, a messenger of the self-proclaimed President Juan Guaidó, the opponent of Maduro. Ecarri so held at the common meal, a speech, and received applause from the players. Out of courtesy, as coach Rafael Dudamel said after that.

It had been promised that all the movie footage and photographs this food for internal use. Ecarri but you published on Twitter, which gave the impression that the national team Guaidó-was near. This visit had been politicized, scolded Dudamel afterwards, “it was humiliating, and miserable”. His team represent the whole of Venezuela, not only a part of it. Short-hand, the former Goalie, said 59 countries will play for Venezuela, he offer his resignation. Against Catalonia, he was still on the side line. If and when he actually occurs is still an open question.

For even more of a mess in the case of Venezuela, the supplier Givova. Midfielder Tomás Rincón spoke of a shame, as he was on Twitter with a Tirade against the Italians. Givova had not delivered the shirts on time, in which the Team had no equipment to travel to Spain. The Shirts for the game should have worried Givova then in a sports shop and with names, numbers and Logos. Rincon wrote: “We demand absolute respect for our national team Jersey and the Team.”
