Pressure is one of factors. And not everyone want to take over team in the middle of season. Xavi want start working in summer when he will able to buy players which he want. Koeman rejected offer because he want to continue working with Netherlands national team.
Seems that Barca will have to find coach for short term, until the end of season. Because it's obvious that we are going nowhere with Valverde.

Allegri is free too Grin

, Why none wants him Grin

.

Well refusing Barca even if not the start of the season is not a good choice IMHO, can be the best opportunity of life as a coach.

Xavi rejected Barca offer, but he would interested to join Barca after end of season. He haven't proven himself as coach, but I would like to see him. Other candidate Koeman also rejected offer.
Other possible candidates is Pochetino, Quique Setien, B team coach Xavi Garcia.

I'd ear a rumor on Pochettino too but why so many coaches are refusing the offer?
Too much pressure?

Another terrible news for Barca that Suarez is out for 4 months. Now Barca will have to search for replacement for him on this transfer window. Who it could be?

I turned on match on extra time only extra time and it was quite interesting. But penalty shootout was big disappointment because everything was decided after first to Atletico shots - Saul miss and Courtois save after Thomas shot.

I have never seen a football match so bad I can say there is nothing to say football. There are already walking dead on the field. The two teams sucked. Now he's going into overtime, but I think he probably goes to penalties.

Thank God i didn't waste my time watching it. Perhaps both Managers tried to approach the game with caution. Lets wait and see the outcome of spot kicks.

Yeah it is penalty kicks and congrats Real Madrid, although winning with PK isn't a sweet end Undecided

Atletico Madrid are not as strong as they used to be when they won the La Liga ironically that's the same year that they lost their first Champions League to Real Madrid but Madrid are not the power house they used to be themselves but still they are the clear favorites to win the Super Cup tomorrow. I will have my money on them.

Real Madrid is better than ATM that's for sure. Although Barcelona is slightly better than Real but it failed to pass ATM. Sometimes football isn't about who is better but who has better tactics and luck.
Between the beginning and the end of the game, ATM has changed and Barcelona kind of used to see them just defending so their defence is relaxed and op! Fail!
Real Madrid has to take ATM seriously and fight until the last second even with +2 goals difference. Simeone can use his trap cards at any moment Wink

I'm a Barca guy but even I can admit Real is actually probably now better than Barca. The last Clasico proved that. We drew 0-0, but we were under attack so much and only when our magnificent keeper is on his good day we keep out a lot of shots, otherwise we fumble and always leak goals.

And against ATM the same thing happened. We lost to Jan Oblak basically.

I meant at overall and except the last game. Well everyone has a point of view Wink

Anyway, 0-0 between ATM and Real Madrid until now, fingers crossed!

Xavi has a good ability to manage the club so if it is confirmed to be managing Barcelona this is great a lot of retired players become coaches of the big clubs like you mentioned.

How are you able to tell if he will be a good manager?
Have you ever seen him manage a club before?

Quote from: watergold on January 12, 2020, 09:09:02 AM

Xavi has his own tactics when playing like before and surely it will be applied if he really has become managing the club.

This is just guess work... Managing a football club and playing football are two different things my friend. Just because someone was good on pitch doesn't men they will automatically be great manager. If this was the case then Theirry Henry, Maradona etc would be excellent managers right now,

I just saw the online front pages of a Catalan newspapers Sport and Mundo Deportivo and main title is that Barcelona have a new coach, Xavi.
Here is another confirmation: https://twitter.com/Blaugranagram/status/1216140758329298945?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1216140758329298945&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.index.hr%2Fclanak.aspx%3Fid%3D2147156
Can someone verify this info?
I read earlier that the plan was for Valverde to stay for the rest of the season and that supposedly all the players wanted him to stay.
Things seem to have changed quickly.

I've got this one from the dailymail

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7878409/Xavi-confirms-meeting-Barcelona-admits-dream-coach-Spanish-giants.html

Looks like nowadays everyone went to hire their former players to manage the club.

Solksjaer at Manchester United
Frank Lampard at chelsea
Mikel Arteta at arsenal

Returning heros continue ...
Xavi to manage Barcelona is not bad option at all for me.

Will it happen like other players ??

Final Super Copa Spain between Real Madrid v Atl Madrid, today Atl Madrid is more considered because it defeated Barceloba a few days ago
Real Madrid also as a team that has the mentality and experience in the final match certainly do not want to lose. Because it was difficult to determine who won, my choice went to Both teams to score.

I believe in Real Madrid to win in this Copa Super Cup because Real Madrid has a lot of experience in any championship so there will be no doubt about Real Madrid.
My view Atl. Madrid is still below Real, most likely the game will be trapped in its possession, because I believe Zidene is good at being in the final.

how could anyone say Barcelona is playing a bad season?

You don't follow La Liga or Barcelona too often, do you?

Barca being at the top of the league table doesn't hide the fact that they're playing like absolute garbage, and they've been doing so since Valverde took the job a few years ago. Barcelona fans are fed up with the team because 1) the team has no style, 2) players choke in the big stages, 3) head coach is too incompetent.

Barcelona fans are not your typical football fan who's ok with where the team stands in the league table ("well, we play like shit today but we're still leaders, hehe lol"), no, that's for the EPL fans or Serie A fans, barca fans demand, aside from good results, good football, style, a good show, stuff they're used to see. So, if Barcelona drops points against the last team in the league table, and also loses a semi final the way they did, then yes, even if they're leaders in La Liga, it means they're having a really bad season. Hell, season is so bad that Messi had to go to the post-match press conference (if you follow Barcelona FC, you know that doesn't happen very often) in Saudi Arabia to calm the waters 'cause he knew shit was about to go down.

I think the super cup final match is Real Madrid's to lose. It will be another match full of a tactical war between Zidane and Simeone. When it comes to big Matches like Finals, Zidane has been inch-perfect so far so i back him to pocket this upcoming one too.

Atletico Madrid are not as strong as they used to be when they won the La Liga ironically that's the same year that they lost their first Champions League to Real Madrid but Madrid are not the power house they used to be themselves but still they are the clear favorites to win the Super Cup tomorrow. I will have my money on them.

Betting for Real Madrid's victory like that would be a good choice, considering that Real Madrid is a tough team when in the Final. and now Zidane is confident that he feels better than before when he won the Champions League. proven Zidane has many strategies for the team, when against Valencia yesterday Real Madrid used five midfielders.

Zidane, happy his foster children can understand well the tactics of the five midfielders who applied it against Valencia in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals. Zidane said he would try other tactics in the next match.

Remember Zidane already had a tactic when he was in the final of the Real Madrid, especially this against Atl Madrid, I'm sure Atletico's ability will not exceed the Real Madrid.
Even though tomorrow's super cup in the match I'm sure Real Madrid has prepared its strategy so do you believe Real Madrid will win?
I will bet more to get more money from this bet.
