Barcelona is currently still experiencing a financial crisis. And this is one of the things that new coaches must know, so that the price agreement process must be in place at the beginning before everything is approved. And according to the news, Flick has indeed agreed to the price, which in fact is no more than €3M net euros, or €6M gross.

What is also a concern is that Barcelona does not seem to have resolved their affairs with Xavi. Yes, they are still in the process of resolving the issue of paying themselves and their staff before Barcelona makes an official announcement regarding Hansi Flick. The problem is, as usual, Barcelona wants to get an agreement to reduce the fees that must be paid. Is that the meaning of this news, right? But what is certain is that Barcelona's financial problems are not yet resolved. In fact, we don't yet know for sure whether there will be big players who Barcelona will actually sell or not to cover this shortfall or cut the salaries that must be paid again.

Every team should expect instant result but it must depend on the situation. In the current condition, it is difficult to expect instant result. Even if Barcelona can hire a top manager (coach), it is hard to get instant result with the current squad of Barcelona. Barcelona needs to improve their squad, they have no many experienced and skillful players. Most of the players are young players who have lack of experience and no mature mentality.

Working hard, trusting each other, teamwork, confidence, and a desire of winning are some matters that all players must have. However, it should be supported by the quality and capability of all players. Sure, Hansi Flick will have a big role to determine the success of Barcelona in the next season. But I'm not really sure that he can do better than Xavi if there is no change in Barcelona squad. I know he is a great manager but we must think realistically of the possible result.

How you claim this? The new season isn't started yet, Barcelona players still don't play at all. In this time, we can make any conclusion. It is too early to say choosing Hansi Flick is a fine decision. Just wait and see what Hansi Flick can do for the improvement of Barcelona team!

This is just another obstacle of Hansi Flick to improve Barcelona team. Even Xavi can't improve Barcelona if there are no new top players. Optimizing the young players from their academy isn't a bad idea but it won't bring an instant result. Barcelona may need to wait for some years to see the improvement of the young players.

What plan do you mean? When Laporta fired Xavi, it means they have no plan for Xavi anymore. Honestly, it is quite confusing that Laporta doesn't want to keep Xavi as the manager. I think Xavi already did a good job, finished as a runner-up in La Liga is quite good result. It is what they maximum result to get by the current Barcelona team.

Barcelona management looks like they were careless in making a decision regarding Xavi, because if we evaluate this decision with full consideration, it is very annoying. Not without reason, Barcelona management took Xavi comments too seriously, I think all coaches would do the same thing if they were in Xavi position. It is very likely that Xavi next successor will also react this condition in the course of his career, because it will not be easy to fulfill all the demands of club officials with financial limitations that have not yet fully recovered. The competition for the trophy next season will be even more competitive, because Madrid as the main competitor still looks quite strong, and will even get stronger.

Barcelona management must act actively in the transfer window, regardless of how to deal with the financial situation, the aim is so that they are not left behind in the race for the La Liga trophy. Mbappe is reportedly getting closer to joining Madrid, even though the season not's starts, we can imagine how far Barcelona will be left behind if they don't improve the depth of their squad. Another concern is the process of adapting players to the new manager strategy, lucky if this stage does not last long. So I think letting Xavi go is the same as taking a bigger risk, regardless of other reasons that we don't know.

An agreement between Barcelona and Hansi Flick has been made and Hansi Flick should have known what Barcelona's financial situation was before he signed the contract. Barcelona is not doing well financially and this has been Xavi's complaint in building a competitive squad for Barcelona. Xavi was fired for commenting on the club's financial problems, so Hansi Flick seems to know what he has to do unless Barcelona management promises him something.

Selling several young players and main players should be an option for Barcelona to get fresh funds. The funds from the sale can be used to bring in several targeted players who support Hansi Flick's game plans at Barcelona next season. I'm not sure how many players will be on the sale list, but maybe that will be the only option that Barcelona will make to strengthen their team next season.

This season is one season Barcelona fans wants to forget in a hurry as this season have been one of their down seasons coupled with the financial issues of the club.  Club’s finances is always a big worry especially as it’s not going to help the club be able to get the proper signings they need. This is one challenge the club has faced this season and as such have had to manage with the injured players and the available players.

 Managing with both sets of players seems to be real tough and this can be troublesome especially for the coach. And i feel because of the trouble and all Xavi decided to depart the club at the end of the season. The win against Mallorca was a boost for them especially as they were headed into the UCL game against Napoli but they just weren't able to scale through up to this moment. You can see how they’ve managed to fight all hard with their injury crisis.

 Xavi has been a good manager at the Spanish side, even though they've had some shaky situations, they've just found a way to cover up lapses and make necessary coverings to the loopholes. It's very much good that they were able to put in good effort regardless of what they lacked to good team building. Nonetheless, Xavi would have still done better than he's already done.
 
 Well, his days with the team are technically numbered and he's got some commendations which he definitely deserves. I don't know what to say about his intended replacement but all I'll say is Barcelona as a team has work to be done and I'd love to see the new Barcelona in seasons and games to come. It's just too late for Barcelona to draw back up to the right track.

Yes, I absolutely agree that in the next season, Real Madrid is going to dominate. Because first of all Barcelona is going through a managerial change which will probably make them perform a little worse. Secondly, I do not think other teams, teams like Atlético Madrid, and Girona will be able to give Real Madrid the competition for the La Liga title. A team will have to be very consistent with their performance to actually be able to compete for the La Liga title against Real Madrid. In the last few seasons, I have not seen that level of consistency with any team. Of course, Barcelona was able to win the La Liga title, but you know Real Madrid was inconsistent themselves. Otherwise, they would have definitely had won the La Liga title.

At this point, I do not think there is any reason for Real Madrid to worry and there is also no reason for us to doubt Real Madrid.

Funny how almost everyone says similar things. I guess Barcelona management couldn't think of this. I think they lost the best coach they had. I'm sure that no matter who the coach who replaces Xavi will be, he won't be better than him. I also read that they are trying to get rid of Lewandowski because of his salary. Wrong management decisions continue to be made in Barcelona. Unfortunately, there is no trace left of the extraordinary and invincible Barcelona during the Messi Neymar Suarez era.

Xavi became the coach of Barcelona at a time when Barcelona were in a very bad situation.   Koeman turned this team into rubble.   After Xavi became the coach, he gradually stabilized the team. And the team won the La Liga title.   This season we don't see the best performance from Barcelona.

Xavi's sacking is unlikely to change the situation at Barcelona. This Barcelona squad is not strong enough. Barcelona need to strengthen the squad by buying players.   But due to financial problems, Barcelona is unable to add talented star players to the squad.   Barcelona will not be able to dominate La Liga without strengthening the squad.

I believe that we are going to have some trouble with it if we are not careful, we should be as careful as we can get in order to make it work otherwise we are going to have some trouble, obviously a lot of people do not realize that Barcelona fired Xavi after having some good seasons there, he did as well as hoped for, with the financia limitations that they had, and the fact that he was fired should scare Hansi Flick, because he looks like it is not going to do all that well.

I personally believe that we are going to end up with anything better with Flick, and the situation Barcelona is in right now could blow up big time unless they fix it, they may end up getting into a huge trouble if they are not careful and keep spending money.

In fact, the Barcelona club itself has taken a big risk for the club for next season. Because firing Xavi and bringing in a new coach like Hansi Flick will not immediately make this club accustomed to Hansi Flick's coaching style. We'll see whether Hansi Flick can be expected to be a better coach than Xavi or not. Because I'm sure that even though Hansi Flick might want to make changes at this club, it won't be easy. Because this club is still experiencing financial problems which have not really been resolved. So it is possible that Hansi Flick will continue to work with the existing players at this club. because it might still be quite difficult for this club to bring in new players. Except for a few players whose plans were to be released in the upcoming player transfer market, this was successfully carried out. So that could bring fresh air for this club to be able to shop for new players. But it turns out that Hansi Flick himself has wanted to be Barcelona coach for a long time. because he said that becoming Barcelona coach was his dream for a long time. And now he is one step closer by signing the contract, he will officially become Barcelona coach and this means that Hansi Flick will succeed in realizing his dream of becoming Barcelona coach. but as Xavi Hernandez said, this club is quite difficult. So Hansi Flick has to be prepared with everything there.

I think Barcelona is making a mistake. Xavi came to the team as a savior in the worst period of that team and raised its level. He led the team to the championship and this year they finished in second place. I believe Xavi is doing his best. The coach who will replace him must build on his achievements, but this will not be easy. There must be a coach who knows the team and meets expectations. In terms of experience, it should suit Barcelona's goals.

So what can we discuss?
It can be seen that Dovbyk performance has been impressive this season because Girona has stolen attention throughout the season and Dovbyk contribution ultimately helped Girona qualify for the Champions League next season and that is a challenge in itself for Girona with a much tighter competitive atmosphere.

Sørloth last 4 goals put him in the Runner Up position because without scoring a goal in the match against Madrid, Sørloth would be behind Bellingham and Lewandowski.

Bellingham first season scoring 19 goals was extraordinary and proved himself worthy of being brought in at a fantastic price. Next season, with Kross retirement, Bellingham duties will be increasingly focused on by Ancelotti and for Modric in the final season he will only act as a guide.

Even though this season Lewandowski performance is considered to have declined, being ranked 3rd with Bellingham means it's not too bad, it's just that he is getting older and next season there is no guarantee that he will be able to score more goals than now. Barcelona, ​​which is also in the hands of Hansi Flik, ​​definitely carries a different game concept. The striker position occupied by Lewandowski could be threatened.

I personally believe that next season Real Madrid will still dominate the league even more because none of the other La Liga teams are at the same level as Real Madrid. Indeed, there is still the possibility that Atletico, Barcelona, Girona and several other teams have been able to compete in the top six in the last few seasons. But still, Real Madrid still has a great squad and coach even though Real Madrid will also lose some of their seniorplayers due to retirement and possibly leaving. But in reality,  Real Madrid has young players who have great potential and will of course become long-term players for Real Madrid too. But if we compare it with Barcelona's situation, I think Barcelona is still in a mess and won't be able to compete strongly with Real Madrid. So yes,at least that's the reason I think that Real Madrid still will be able to dominate La Liga next season.

It sounds non sense to call him as a bad coach. I meant that if xavi was a bad coach and he would not be winning la liga with barcelona. People have known him so well about how consistent barcelona under him. Even though xavi has no a lot of experiences but he is a good coach.
The fact that xavi helped barcelona not only to win the trophy, xavi was also helping the club in developing their talents. This is also really helpful for barcelona but the bad news was coming after laporta decided to sack him.
that's really unacceptable thing for sure.

Im still hoping xavi to make his comeback to the barcelona someday. I think girona was not even targeting trophy. being able to qualify for the UCL is more than enough for the club following amazing results showed by girona.
I must be appreciating all of efforts that have been done by him. Xavi has helped barcelona a lot when it was in a very bad situation due to the its financial condition.

In my opinion, Barcelona has lost a key player, and if they want to be able to keep up with Real Madrid and other big teams they have to be able to improve it, not only that, maybe with the others. Barcelona must be able to find talented young players like the young players that Real Madrid has. If next season Barcelona doesn't make any changes, of course I think Real Madrid will easily beat them because Real Madrid will definitely be stronger next season.

This financial problem is indeed the reason for those who experience decline, because perhaps with their financial problems they are unable to get talented players. but it's up to you, because Barcelona fans certainly don't know about this because what they really want is that Barcelona returns with its beautiful trademark game which makes football fans shake their heads.

I agree with you, that basically this decision raises the question, why Xavi was fired by Barcelona management. Even though Xavi has so far been able to make Barcelona quite strong and successful despite the existing limitations. The reason is that last season, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona to become La Liga champions and also won the Spanish Super Trophy. So the point is why Xavi was decided to be fired by Barcelona management. Even though Barcelona is currently experiencing financial limitations. So even if you think about it briefly, this will definitely make it difficult for Barcelona in the coming season to find a new coach who has good qualities like Xavi.

And I also don't understand what happened with Barcelona and Xavi this season. The reason is, this season Xavi stated that he would leave Barcelona after this season ended. Then after that news circulated again stating that Xavi had changed his mind and would continue to coach Barcelona next season. And now it is Barcelona management who have decided to fire Xavi. So regarding the case of Xavi and Barcelona, ​​this could be said to be quite complicated for me.

Maybe there is another problem that we may not know about, which causes this to happen. But as you said, Xavi will definitely be fine even if he is fired from Barcelona, ​​and that is true. Because of course there are other big teams that will be eyeing Xavi to become their coach.

It is very interesting to review the condition of Barcelona after Hansi Flick officially took over as coach to replace Xavi Hernandez. So far, Barcelona has always looked for coaches who have a style of ball possession and short passes, they also very often appoint coaches who have ties to the club or have Barcelona DNA. Flick doesn't have Barcelona DNA and he also very often uses a 4-2-3-1 formation with a fast style of play that puts high pressure on the opposing team. This formation and strategy is very different from what Barcelona has used so far with the 4-3-3 formation and short passing style of play.

If Flick is consistent with the style of play he often uses and does not receive intervention from the club's technical staff, then there will be big changes in Barcelona game for next season. Large funds must be prepared to enable Flick to carry out his duties well, he certainly needs several players who can be relied on according to the tactics he often uses.

Barcelona have officially switched coaches from Xavi to Hansi Flick, Xavi dismissal will most likely be a Boomerang that will probably have a bad impact on Barcelona performance next season, I have no doubts about Hansi Flick performance and also the greatness of Hansi Flick in coaching so far, but I think Hansi Flick came to Barcelona not at the right time and of course it will take a lot of patience and also hard work to build the Barcelona squad to be able to compete for the title Next season, Hansi Flick has been building The Bavarian skuad into a great team and of course that may be the reason Barcelona recruited Hansi Flick to replace Xavi, but I think Barcelona forgot that Munich has been built not with academy players but by spending big money in the transfer market.

At the moment Barcelona have limited funds to bring in the players that Hansi Flick wants and I think Hansi Flick should have known that before accepting Barcelona offer, Hansi Flick of course might imitate what Xavi has done so far, namely orbiting academy players and of course targeting free players who really want to play for Barcelona next season,  Because there really doesn't seem to be another solution that they can do better in my opinion.

Xavi's relationship with Laporta, which had originally improved, deteriorated again, which made them unable to maintain cooperation, which at first Xavi said that he would stay at Barcelona because of persuasion from Laporta but indeed it ended up being a separation that could not be avoided just like his statement in the middle of the season.

Didn't expect something like this to happen because after all, from the beginning they had said that Xavi would really survive but towards the end of the season his statement changed which made this an interesting drama.
What is certain is that now Xavi and Barcelona are over with the deterioration of Xavi and Laporta's relationship indirectly making them have to take their own path and actually I think this will actually make Barcelona lose because it releases Xavi, who we know his dedication to Barcelona does not need to be doubted.

Xavi Hernandez has actually been good at carrying out his duties as a coach, even the galar he got last year was not just luck, but the result of his hard work in taking care of the Barcelona players. If he had to be fired from Barcelona, it would not be a big problem for him and his future, no There is something bad about Xavi if you look at the mental and tactical aspects he was given during his tenure as coach, finishing in second place is not an easy thing for a club like Barcelona in this time of financial problems, but if the decision is unanimous then there is nothing for Xavi to regret because it all goes back to Barcelona management in retaining Xavi as coach.
