If Coach Enrique had put Alcacer in his appearance with Messi, Suarez and Neymar, Barcelona enthusiasts would have had an almost exclusive chance of using Village People’s good fortune for what would actually have been one of the greatest terrace melodies of all time. But unsurprisingly, with the ferocious party of the place, Alcacer played only a small role, however, he still felt part of the team, with Andrés Iniesta inviting him to dinner from time to time, and Suarez appearing sympathetic when Alcacer suffered. of the dreadful drought that endured 16 appalling apparitions. ” Don’t worry, a purpose will come, don’t think about it, it happened to me too,” the Uruguayan alien told his young partner, who scored ten and seven assists. in two full seasons with the Catalan giants.
