Barcelona in the post-Messi era are in a state of reconstruction, but although they have entered the era of Xavi, although Laporta is running around for the team, this season is naturally not a successful season for Barcelona. The Champions League group stage was eliminated, the league was also excluded from the top four for a long time, and the King’s Cup missed the quarter-finals… Without a good record, the team naturally has no income, plus the mess left by the predecessor Bartomeu, now Barcelona can be described as overwhelmed.
As we all know, during Bartomeu’s tenure, Barcelona can be described as a piece of chicken feathers. PSG’s poaching of Neymar for over 200 million seems to have opened his eyes to Bartomeu, who began to go further and further on the road to big-ticket players. If it is a helpless move to buy Dembele for 130 million to replace Neymar, then buying Coutinho for 140 million and Griezmann for 120 million is more like the willful act of the then president of Barcelona. Bartomeu’s subsequent operations were very puzzling. Many of the players signed by him received extremely high salaries. All these have laid the groundwork for today’s Barcelona.
In this case, Bartomeu’s resignation naturally became a reasonable thing, but Laporta’s return did not let the team see spring. As soon as he took office, Laporta emphasized in front of the media that he would “raise the butcher’s knife” for major surgery on the team. I never thought that Coutinho, Umtiti and others would all stay in the team, but Messi left Paris. At the press conference at the time, Laporta really took the blame for La Liga. “Because of the salary cap of La Liga, Messi and Barcelona reached an agreement on the renewal of the contract, but they could not complete the contract.” Suddenly, Barcelona disappeared. Messi has no soul.
Messi has become the history of the team, and Laporta naturally wants to achieve something big. However, subject to the shyness of their pockets, today’s Barcelona seems to have become a Barcelona that cannot be connected. After sending away Griezmann and Coutinho one after another, Barca’s contract renewal negotiations with Dembele also came to a deadlock. Without the blessing of the stars, Barcelona is now in a state of turmoil, and Harvey’s entry seems to be just a feeling. However, after Xavi came to the team, the fans couldn’t see Barcelona’s tactical ideas, and saw more of his ubiquitous talk.
The team’s record is not good, and signings are naturally imminent. However, with the current financial resources of Barcelona, how can they acquire superstars? One thing I have to say is that Laporta is constantly rushing around for the team, setting off to Israel for sponsorship, and constantly negotiating with major stars. With his continuous efforts, Ferran Torres has joined Barcelona, and Morata, Haaland and others seem to be on their way. One thing is certain, if Laporta can finally complete the acquisition of Haaland, then the future of Barcelona is still worth looking forward to.Return to Sohu, see more
