Barça and its future
Futbol Club Barcelona is starting to think about its future, since it only has two games left in this season. Although these games may seem inconsequential, Barça needs more points to secure second place ahead of Girona. In addition, the club faces important decisions, such as the departure of Xavi Hernández and the possible arrival of Hansi Flick. The Barça environment is a monumental mess and the sporting and bench problems will need to be resolved in the coming days.
The departure of Xavi Hernández
Xavi Hernández’s departure from Barça seems increasingly likely due to his conformist and defeatist attitude. This attitude has not pleased Joan Laporta, the president of the club, and has raised doubts about the future of the Terrassa coach. However, the candidate who seems to be gaining ground to take Xavi Hernández’s place is Hansi Flick. The former coach of Bayern Munich and the German national team, who is currently out of work, fits Barça’s playing philosophy and could be an interesting option for the club. In addition, his signing would be at zero cost, an attractive option for a club that has not yet improved financially.
Hansi Flick and the necessary changes
Hansi Flick is already thinking about the changes he wants to make at Barça. Although some of these changes do not match Xavi Hernandez’s priorities, the German coach has a clear vision of what the team needs. One of the key positions that Flick wants to strengthen is that of midfield. While Xavi Hernández had in mind the signing of Martín Zubimendi, Flick prefers to bet on Joshua Kimmich, a versatile player from Bayern Munich. This decision could change the planning made between Xavi Hernández and Deco, but Flick has a different idea of how Barça should be and is ready to make the necessary changes.
