enjoyed his first season to lead the team, although it was frustrated.

And Barcelona subjected to a jolt in the latter stages of
the season and has a limited opportunity to retain the title with falling four
points behind leaders Atletico Madrid before the end of three rounds on the
league.
The team has suffered this season from the curse of the
injuries that mauled the creaking team body and namely the absence of a legend
and the team's best player four times Lionel Messi, who missed out on the team
and has had a significant and clear impact on the results Barca.
And the Catalan club influenced by also fall heavily on the
level of some club stars including Cesc Fabregas and Xavi and Busquets and Dani
Alves, and finally and most are slaughtered giant Catalan is the tired and
fragile back line, which cost the team out of the Champions League and the loss
of the cup in front of rival Real Madrid, and the difficulty of competing for
the league title.
From Sociedad hell is the beginning of the fall and depth:
Martino continued on some of the negatives and the mistakes
that have kept the team strength, including:
1 - Pushing Fabregas specter!!
2 – Maintain Messi unchanged
3 – Pushing Neymar to play on the right side
Barcelona came out of the quarter-finals of the Champions
League against Atletico also lost the King's Cup final against arch-rival Real
Madrid despite the expectations placed on it.
Martino said at a news conference before the next match at
home against Getafe, "it is a season i will learn from it because I was leading
a team at this level and playing in such a league and compete in Europe."
The final blow was knocked out of the Champions League at
the hands of ambition Rokhiblancos:
"I learned how to drive in difficult conditions and get
used to criticism and accolades as well as a lot of other experiences, I think
we learn in every place we go, but you learn a lot of things here, and
quickly."
He continued, "We fought season witnessed a lot of
pressure I would not say problems, the club has a lot of attention and is
usually a difficult first season, the analysis of the situation is changing
with the results. It is a season saw it in a lot of aspects of learning in my training
Register."
And Argentine coach signed a contract for two years before
the start of the current season, but it included a provision allowing for the
dissolution of the contracting parties following the end of the first year.

end of the season comes to coach Luis Enrique Celta Vigo on top of the current
list of candidates to succeed him.
Martino said, "was a great opportunity (to win the
league) until Granada match recently and we had a lot of hope, we will continue
now the same desire we demonstrated against Athletic (Bilbao) and
Villarreal."
"We hope to continue our way as much as possible and do
everything in our power, if there is a chance calculation (for the title) and
even if it seemed great."
"The players have the motivation which is important in
this period of their glories; they continue fighting even in this bad
situation."
