“Starting next week we are going to make a series of decisions to have a very competitive team to win the Champions League”, declared last night the president who is preparing one of the market pumps. In what seems to be more than ever the last hours of Ronald Koeman as Barcelona coach, from Catalonia they assure that Joan Laporta has chosen Hans Flick as the next DT Blaugrana.
RAC-1 affirms that the boss Culé has personally called the Bayern coach to consult him about his future. Although it is known that Flick maintains a verbal agreement with Alemana to be the replacement for Joachim Low after the European Championship, he does not have any signed document that ties him to Die Mannschaft. At 56 years old, in Barcelona they put him as the number one candidate to stay with the team.
Xavi, out of the fight for your past in the opposition?
The historic number 6 is in Barcelona on vacation, although many say that he has already had contacts with the football director Mateu Alemany. That said, it is said that having been part of the list of Victor Font (Laporta’s main opponent in the recent elections), he would not be entirely happy who has remained with the leadership throne of the team. With a clause that would allow him to leave Qatar at zero cost, it will be necessary to see if his future at the Camp Nou comes with this or another leadership.
Flick or Xavi?
Hans Flick, who after 85 games and a sextete will leave Bayern at the end of the season, appears right now as an ‘exotic’ option for the Barcelona bench. Will this be the first surprise that Laporta prepares to convince Messi, or just a smokescreen that allows Xavi Hernández to be brought in with greater peace of mind? The running of the next few hours will give us the clues to follow. (GG) (Bolavip)
