Calendar of FC Barcelona

There is crisis in the FC Barcelona and have to take drastic measures. Claro, east is a message that carries time repeating and has not happened at all, at all, not even with the arrival of Joan Laporta that warned that lose with them would have consequences. At all further to the reality, considering that the staff that has begun the season 2021-2022 has been practically the same that finish the past, desmejorada, in any case, after the exits of Leo Messi and Antoine Griezmann, in addition to keeping to Koeman up to now.

The Dutch has been the first 'signalled' and also the one who has gone out when the things already were unsustainable, but from the Managerial Board, as it has aimed the newspaper 'SPORT' consider that there is guiltier in the middle of the disaster of the Barça and that, like consequence, will have to take important decisions, only will remain to see if they will fulfil this time or, also, if with the exit of Koeman is sufficient so that the team go back to be competitive.

The case is that with the exit of the Dutch, destituido after the party in front of the Ray, the Barça has traced a plan that, always according to the before quoted source, includes the intention of revitalizar to the team and a cleaning of changing room, that ojalá was not as the one of the past summer. Like this then , the first that are in the list are the 'holy cows', referring directly to three of the four captains of the team: Sergio Busquets, Gerard Hammered and Jordi Alba.

In the club there would be a lot of worry with the level of the veterans, that have been indisputable players for Koeman since it landed in the City Condal. 'SPORT' Remembers that in the summer tanteó the idea to give him gone out to some 'holy cow', like the possible traspaso of Jordi Alba to the Inter of Milan, but all finished remaining and accessed to an important discount salarial that allowed the registration of the new signings in the staff.

In this opportunity, the situation would be distinct and in the directive expect that the new trainer, that aims to be Xavi Hernández, determine with who explains and with who no. From there, it would begin a cleaning in the changing room that will be key for the beginning of the 'new Barça' that it wants to Joan Laporta. All the decisions will think very well before taking them, by what would not have 'madnesses' that relate to the captains.

It is necessary to remember, also, the case of Sergi Roberto, that is in roads to renew his agreement (wins in 2022). The intention of the club is to extend his stay by two years more, but the negotiations detained does some weeks and, since, have not existed novelties. The one of Reus has been very used by Koeman, in the side or by the medullary, and it will be necessary to see if now it has 'hollow' in the team...

A problem for the Barça?

'SPORT', finally, has added that from the sportive point, the Barça sees to the captains "like a problem to initiate a new project". In this case, it is more than evident that the club what wants to is to give him more importance to the youngest footballers, The Masia and the 'jewels' that there is in the staff, by what understands that the stage of Alba, Hammered or Busquets in the Barça is for finish.

For the moment, it remains to expect to see which will be the feelings and intentions of Xavi Hernández, if it arrives to the Barça, with players that does some years were his mates of changing room. The Catalan technician already has showed in the To the-Sadd that also bets by players more veteran (are seeing it with Santi Cazorla) but does not give them so much leadership neither play all the minutes, as they do it at present the 'holy cows' Barcelona.
