Did Gundogan regret it? Before the controversial national derby, he was disappointed with Barca

According to Spain's "Daily Sport", Gundogan, who transferred to Barcelona from Manchester City this summer, has actually been dissatisfied with Barcelona for a long time. The German player's post-match remarks in last weekend's national derby were not spur-of-the-moment, but rather an expression of disappointment.

In his post-match interview after Barça's loss of the national derby, Gundogan touched on a number of topics about the Barça dressing room. He said Barça did not show the anger and disappointment in the dressing room after losing such a crucial game. According to a source familiar with Barcelona, Gundogan said such a thing, probably when he entered the dressing room after the game and saw some players playing with their mobile phones, and did not seem to care about the result of such a game, so he was moved and said surprising remarks.

However, "Daily Sport" revealed that this is not the first time Gundogan has been dissatisfied with Barcelona. As early as his arrival at Barca, he was disappointed with some of the club's code of conduct. Gundogan arrived at Barcelona with his wife and a few months old, expecting the club to help him settle down in Barcelona, as promised. But the Gundogan family received little attention in their first days at Barça, barely receiving any condolences or help from the club. This made Gundogan very suspicious for a while, and when Barcelona signed him, they said that as long as he agreed to his promise, he would become a "superstar".

Gundogan was hoping for some facilitation in the first few weeks of his arrival at Barca, such as finding housing, transport and formalities, but it is clear that Barca did not take these things to heart. Gundogan and his wife had a feeling of "abandonment".

Manchester City are clearly more professional and mature in these areas than Barcelona, a team that has achieved excellence in sports in recent years, and has also excelled in other aspects such as assisting players and their families with personal matters and formalities. The switch from Manchester City to Barcelona made Gundogan feel the gap between the two teams, and it also made him waver.

Gundogan, who was bent on fulfilling the "Ersa dream", may indeed have imagined reality too beautifully, but there is no turning back.
