"There will be radical changes”... those words commented
by Josep Bartomao Barcelona president on the loss of the team to the league
title at home to the Camp Nou in the final round against the champion Atletico
Madrid, to put a new "road map" will be centered coach Luis Enrique
as all the media expected in the land of bullfighting.
Did not pass only a few minutes to Barca and Atletico draw
1-1 to announce the Argentine coach Gerardo Martino Tata leaving the Catalans
and non-completion of his contract next season, and that by mutual consent with
the Department of Bartomao, or the remnants of the regime of former President
Sandro Rosell.
Barca management realized too late that Martino is not a man
of the stage, and that the betting on the submerged continental Latin was not
true after the team was knocked out empty handed and lost all the big
tournaments.
Maybe Tata bears much smaller part of the responsibility of failure,
where he worked in his mission, according to his limited capabilities, did not
find help from the administration in the vaccination team with deals especially
strong in the line of defense, so the greatest burden falls on the administration,
then the players themselves, who admitted many of them they have not done the required
effort and let down their fans.
Negative atmosphere surrounding Barcelona also this season
played a role in the decline in the level of the team, crises have rolled, one
after the other, such as Messi long injury and charged with tax evasion, and
corruption scandal of Neymar deal, and the death of former coach Tito Vilanova,
and FIFA's decision to deprive the club of deals to 2015 before retreating with
him.
But Barcelona turned on the season page, starting on Monday
after a meeting of the Board of Directors will begin a new phase, and is likely
to be announced for the new coach Luis Enrique after he had finished his work
at Celta Vigo.
The first items of the "road map" that includes a
contract for two seasons for Enrique, and then prepares a list of the deceased
from the list of players, and certainly including triple Victor Valdes and
Carles Puyol and Jose Pinto.
To compensate for the absence of the two goalkeepers, the
club will contract certainly with young German Terre Stegn of Borussia Monchengladbach;
also will be an escalation of the youth team goalkeeper Jordi Massip, or to
retain the third goalkeeper Auer Olazabal.
There is also the option of hiring a second goalkeeper with Terre
Stegn; it may be the Spanish goalkeeper Pepe Reina from Napoli.
The Argentine defender Javier Mascherano and Brazilian
right-back Dani Alves closest to bid farewell Blaugrana shirt, accounting has
been so recently.
It has joined the list of the departed Brazilian left-back
Adriano Korea, and the Spanish striker Pedro Rodriguez, as also the media predicted.
With the arrival of attractive offers from England, Italy,
France, close to the Chilean Alexis Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas from the Spanish
to leave the Camp Nou.
The biggest surprise may be the termination of the
relationship with the veteran midfielder Xavi Hernandez, where there are signs
of moving to the American League.
The club may dispense with the services of the Cameroonian
Alex Song and Christian Tello and Dutch Ibrahim Afellay and Isaac Cuenca and
Bojan Krkic.
And Barca would accept Rafinha Alcantara recover from Celta
Vigo, where Luis Enrique contributed to the development of in his performance
last season, next to Gerard Deulofeu who starred in Everton shirt.
In terms of renovations, the administration seeks to renew
the contract of defender Gerard Pique, after having recently been refurbished
to hold triple: left-back Jordi Alba, and central defender Marc Bartra, and
right-back Martin Montoya.
After the completion of the process of "screening"
of the basic structure remains the team's four players are indispensable,
Lionel Messi and Spanish Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets and rookie Sergei
Roberto, where they make up the main body of the team next to new deals.
There are various names of the candidates to join the stars
for Barca next season, according to speculation, led by German star Marco Royce
Borussia Dortmund, and Brazilian defender David Luiz Chelsea, where the club is
preparing for the largest campaign of contracts since the era of former
president Joan Laporta.
