Everybody: Barca's season goal is to bring hope to the top four in La Liga

Live bar December 17, the "Daily Sports" published a commentary article, arguing that Barca is no longer in the discussion of the championship, the team's current season goal is to enter the top four of La Liga, and strive to qualify for next season's Champions League. Competing for fourth place, compared to the mighty Catalan giants of the past, is an incredible thing.

The current management had played a big role in reviving Barca at the beginning of the election, but the day after the victory, their attitude immediately changed. Barca's illness was worse than they expected, the financial problems were the root cause, coupled with the mismanagement of the previous president Bartomeu and the epidemic, various factors forced the new management to abandon Messi at the most critical time, when the team was almost unable to pass the financial fairness policy formulated by La Liga.

Barca was once the richest and most dominant team in the world, with clubs paying the highest salaries in the world for their players, but at the same time the team's performance is deteriorating. "Everybody" questions why Umtiti's salary level is equivalent to Lewandowski or De Bruyne. Why are Coutinho and Dembele even more paid? These obstacles are intolerable for Barca.

With the winter transfer window just around the corner, in the La Liga table, Barca are five points away from the target of fourth place and 18 points away from the top real Madrid, and it is no longer realistic for them to chase down their mortal enemies. Barca's new boss Xavi has noticed that the squad is not at the top level today, so he understands that it will not be easy to break into the top four of La Liga.

Now, what Laporta needs to do is make up its mind to execute the club's plan, restructure, restore the confidence of the players, and find the right target in the transfer market, and re-accumulate wealth little by little. In addition, after the Christmas holiday, Xavi is about to welcome the return of two important players, Fati and Pedri, while the club is operating the departures of Umtiti, Luke De Jong, Neto, Coutinho, Lenglet and Dest, and once the salary space is released, the management will bring new signings to the team.

Finally, Harvey also has to show his determination, although he did not achieve good results at the beginning, but the young people under him did bring hope to the team. Participating in next season's Champions League, one is for UEFA bonuses, the other is to attract stars to camp Nou, so entering the top four of La Liga has become the most important demand for Barca.
