Edmilson calls for Barca to sort out unrest
MADRID, June 13 (Reuters) - Barcelona must sort out dressing room
divisions if they want to return to being successful again,
Brazilian midfielder Edmilson has said.
The defending Primera Liga champions have been dogged by
complacency, inconsistency and ego-driven disputes throughout their
campaign, which Edmilson believes has damaged their push for
trophies.
'I'm not going to go into details but there are things which
everyone knows about and which have come out in the press,'
Edmilson was quoted as saying in the Spanish media on
Wednesday.
'We have played in seven competitions and only won two (the
Catalunya Cup and the Spanish Super Cup), which is not a lot.
He added: 'I can't say what they have to fix, but we all know what
the problems are. When things don't go well, you have to put them
right.'
Barca's last chance for a major trophy this season relies on league
leaders Real Madrid slipping up in their last game at home to Real
Mallorca on Sunday.
Frank Rijkaard's side are level on 73 points with Real but second
due to their inferior head-to-head record. Barca visit relegated
Gimnastic Tarragona.
Sevilla, who are two points back in third, are at home to
Villarreal.
