President of Barcelona has a new, Joan Laporta, who also casually is his president, and there are plenty of speculations about whether the success will continue.
Scenarios of total fatality – more than a million dollars of debt, the contract to win Lionel Messi, a global pandemic that is devastating to the football economy – has the postures of “What? ¿Preoccuparme yo?” , perfectly exemplified by the candidate for president Toni Freixa, who has filed for Erling Haaland, Borussia Dortmund, Kylian Mbappé, PSG.
As suele suceder, the reality is somewhere in the middle. There are reasons to be careful, reasons to be cautiously optimistic, and some reasons to be alarmed, including some days after having been classified in the Champions League final quarters before 2007.
An astute and responsible maneuver from Laporta could be maintained in Barcelona on the other hand, or at least around the point, from the football of clubs during the upcoming campaigns. But it is also possible to follow the path and dog to irreconcilable depths. But these are the good news.
There are two extraordinary teams in Europe, and the rest … good …
Manchester City is an elaborate award from the demos, and the likely decision to determine Bayern Munich. Its solid teams from the point of view of financial existence, and although it tends to make some adjustments in the verona (the first needs a center and second, a central defender) there are many paradises. All tenses will be resolved in the bank, in the bank, or in the club accounts. Although Barça can be compared to the big clubs in Europe in many respects, they have all the problems.
2. Your debt is monstrous, but the debt alone is a problem if you can not pay
The $ 800 million debt of “a short haircut” is quite high. The financial blogger Swiss Ramble explains in detail how the Barcelona is great in comparison with the other clubs, and why he is preoccupied. Without embarrassment, it can be refinanced, it has a margin of maneuver, and it’s high that, at the moment, there is a lot of private capital going into football and the interest rates are going down.
If you do not agree with an excellent agreement and, in the short term, you can end the problem for a longer period, then you will agree to an agreement.
3. Apply the rules of “More than a club”, this is a double filing space, but in this case it is a positive net
The structure of Barcelona – with an elected council of its members – means that making a precedent is more like performing a diner to a local governor. First of all, it’s a good thing: the directives are not necessarily compromised because, unlike the private investors, there are no judges with their money. Pueden can be more prone to cedar external pressures and will correct irrational risks in the wake of the popularity of the place, in the way that the most popular cobras.
That’s why it’s a point, but it’s just like that in the past. On the other hand, the public status of Barcelona is one of the most important with the performers. One reason is that a bank is planning to initiate legal actions against a club from a stadium inversion fund or from a Russian oligarch who is withdrawing from payments. And another very distinct is against a public fund like Barcelona, with tens of millions of followers and a new direction that has hereded the disaster.
In terms of public relations, if Barça has money, it is most likely that the performer will renegotiate and have a good image in the press – “¿Ven? ¡Estamos ayudando a Barça a salir del agujero y no somos malos!” – in place to call the abogados and the collectors.
4. Have a vertebral column of first-level talent, in its majority youth
We say goodbye to Messi for a moment and remember the rest. Marc-Andre ter Stegen (28), Frenkie de Jong (23), Pedri (18) and Ansu Fati (18) are all their first level players, standing among the best in the world in their functions. Ronald Araujo (22), Sergino Dest (20) and Ilaix Moriba (18) are encounters in this level.
If you really want to see the world of the azulgran crystal, you can include Riqui Puig (21), Óscar Mingueza (21) and Francisco Trincao (21) in this list, and they all go to the presidents Carles Alena (23) and Jean -Clair Todibo (21). I do not see it in many places, but among the last six it certainly has one that reaches the maximum level, and a pair of useful collaborators. Consider this, no está nada mal.
5. In addition to the best, some players have demonstrated that they are not required to be replaced immediately.
Jordi Alba has been 31 years old, but he has spent his best campaign in different years and could offer one more season (of all mannerisms, it was contracted until 2024 inclusive). Clement Lenglet (25) has also been contracted until 2026, and although he does not agree on everything, he is a jailer. Hasta Sergio Busquets (32), who has one bad luck this year, can play one or two more in determined conditions.
6. All of them are poorly financed, so this is your case … which means that the football ecosystem has changed
The guests of transfers and salaries are guaranteed with security in the yard and have less money in the system. This is because it is more difficult to disable assets in order to pursue money effectively. Barça has named the world’s highest altitude during some years, and the demas simply did not want to cut a cargo of some fiasco from Camp Nou with excessive springs. But the failure of money to be effective in the system of working in two ways. También means that I have less competence for the many that preserve, in particular those who want to extend the contract, like Pedri or like Ousmane Dembélé. And if you need to make new sheets, the same size, due to the same principle, will be much more affordable.
7. Bad contracts in their eternos y, in some cases, can be negotiated
This quiz is not working with players like Samuel Umtiti or Philippe Coutinho: will be compromised with his contracts until 2023. The same thing happened with Miralem Pjanic (30) until 2024. It’s fine. It will appear magically from your namesake in years. (And it’s important when you have projections and arms you plan for three years). But you can go all out as Gerard Piqué – who has 34 years and a contract until 2024, and who will adore the club – and says: “Gerard, we need you to help … we are having difficulties. Can we regulate anything? to start, it is cashed in with some money that has more money than it is likely that it has ambitions to pursue a lying role in its return … What do you intend to do at least?
And the lie is Sergi Roberto, who will end his contract at the end of the temporary season. Is this the only club that knows, has been injured during the entire campaign, saying that we do not have more months and a few minutes of money?
8. Barça’s economic model means that it absorbs most of the negative effects of COVID-19, but must break down more of the positive ones when this term
The Camp Nou is the largest stadium in European football and it means that the public will be able to attend a party of 75,000 people per game, before the pandemic, around noon. The Barcelona Museum is the third most visited in Spain – its roots will be closed.
There are no geniuses to be a genius to see, in absolute terms, the nobles have affected Barça in much the same degree as other clubs. But when it does all over again, the invertebrates want to enter the great one. And that too will impact in a positive way in Barça more than in the days.
9. Ronald Koeman’s contract has been in vogue until 2022
He made mistakes and could not see the solution in a big place, but the Dutch and even ex-Barcelona players beat the expectations in a way that could reduce the bar and how much his acceptance among the players. The heck out of Barcelona siga in career for the domestic doubles pesos of Messi’s bureaucracy, of the reunion of José María Bartomeu, of the disaster in the market of recent years, of the financial implication … in any point, everything is means that the credit is due.
The good, without embarrassment, is that, if Barça needed to go to a counter-directorate, it would not cost to leave. And if it is, it will not be in a position to hold demanding demands as it will be a high-profile coach.
10. If you are intelligent, you can make sure that the situation with respect to Messi ends up being beneficial for all
Simple, it is necessary to give a number to the one who Messi brings to the club. A real number, not the electoral profitability of Laporta when it comes to the fact that Messi took the Barcelona trip to 8% of its population, which means 30% of the population. And read hablas con él como adulto. Those who want to quit, but if they hope to win something close to the more than $ 100m that now, if not succeed, because it will be irresponsible on the part of the club. Indicates that the deeds will not be paid and that there will be no swarming of players with those who can continue to retaliate.
No hay what tener vergüenza de pedir un “descuento de residente” is. Does not appear to be a person who is mainly motivated by the diner, of all manners. It also means that you have to be like Pau Gasol and play by (practically) nothing. It is simply necessary to demonstrate that, if it accepts a sustainable record, with this money will be paid deuda or sumo talent. Calculate a number and establish a company with it… and make sure it is agreed.
And is there no agreement? Well, there will be a quantitative sum of money available on the nominee of sueldos and aliviaras a tonelada of financial pressure.
And what is this agreement? Well, there will be another season with one of the greatest footballers in history at a price that is likely to be much less than it is worth.
These are 10 reasons to feel optimistic. Puedes, sin dudas, think a lot more to enter in panic. And yes, much depends on the fe queens in Laporta. It is not a bargaining chip, it is fundamentally a lawyer and a politician and, yes, reconciling, it is not necessarily a good signal. But if it is sufficiently humiliating as for the redemption of intelligent people, if they do not commit the mistakes of the past, if they can make the fanatics create in their project, then they can do that function.
Barça is not a club that tries to recede and tampons too large to fray. But the thing is that it is very close.
