    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Xavi for sure did make adjustments. I've no doubts. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what Xavi has done for us as a coach. Although I fully think his time was over. But I will go back to first point, a coach make adjustments, but never change ideology. Unless he is a pragmatic one, the...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He was a LW for sure, he barely played central in Egypt NT, despite lacking a no9 in many situations (only Mostafa Mohamed from Nantes are decent enough for us), while we had like 3 or 4 options in LW (former Stoke's Ramadan Sobhi, former Aston Villa Trezeguet, and a few local players). Salah...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    When we won Liga, we conceded 20 goals, 13 goals less than any opponents, with 6 conceded goals in last 5 games after we won the league. 2nd best is Atletico, with 33 conceded goal. That's astronomical difference. Goals for? RM 75, Barca and Atletico 70 goals each.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Most likely yes, he will be gone unless we don't have anymore injuries, which would allow the squad to rotate better. Araujo and Christensen alone elevates the team a level btw. They just don't play. To give him his props, defense isn't an afterthought. His system is dependent on mixing...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The last sentence is true. Xavi success was dependent on BACK defense being elite, while Raphinha and Lewa making the best of any chance we create. Those were all concerns before he joined btw. But Barca as a club, it's core identity is playing attacking football, win or lose. And we wanted...

    No, your asking for change of identity. It is a big difference. One can happen, the other isn't.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    You are asking Flick to be a different coach than he is, which isn't going to happen. His whole ideology depends on the trade off between offense and defense. The only way to improve on that is getting better players and GK.

    Deco

    1-He was actually hired for both, not only first team. 2-You know the old wisdom of "You can't help someone who don't want to help himself"? Deco, or any other SD, can't do anything if the club has no salary margin to register a 2.7M signing like Pau Victor. The guy literally has an...

    If we sell Frenkie, Fermin and Torre, which we should, whom are we going to have in midfield? Pedri, Gavi, Casado & Olmo. Alongside Bernal coming from ACL + meniscus injury. A midfielder will be needed tbh. Preferably one that isn't shorter than 1.8M

    Deco

    He was responsible for buying B players in 2023, and brought Pau Victor, Gerard Martin, Noah Darvich & Faye. Other than Darvich, the rest showed they belong to first division level at least, and Darvich himself is a big talent but bad fit for Spanish football. This year he is bringing many...

    Deco

    He does the only thing he can do, buy (and sell) young players.

    Atletico 2021 too

    Clément Lenglet

    I think this is no longer the case. He redistributed his salary, getting what was his duo on 3 years instead of 2, and Atletico has covered his salary on the loan. With Villa, we paid a good partion of his salary

    Deco

    Roque was actually signed under Alemany, not Deco.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    Hr has actually created many good balls.

    Deco

    What squad planning? What signing? 2023 signings were Alemany's, that include Roque btw. Deco got Olmo and Pau Victor, and niether are registered for next games. We signed them, betting on injury or money we don't have. We couldn't bet that on multiple players. Btw, that was mainly because...

    I am talking about what he said last Spring. Everyone knew RM are ahead of is and we are underdog (and I don't mean literally everyone, there is always someone who disagree) but for a coach to say it out loud the way Xavi did, was a big mistake

    Everyone knew he was right, but it was never the right thing to say by the coach.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    I mean, except for few over reactions, no one claims Pena is better.
