In the final round of the Champions League group stage, bayern and life-and-death battles such as Bayern, la Liga home games against weak teams such as Elche, Xavi let Dembele start. It is not that the new star that Barca bought for 150 million euros really exceeded Mbappe's level, but that "there is no major general in Shu, and Liao Hua is the pioneer".
The actual battle test, let Dembele be the vanguard, that is called a miserable sight.
In the final round of the Champions League group stage, Barca beat Bayern away and was determined to advance, and dembele, who started, did nothing and played 73 minutes before being replaced.
In the 18th round of La Liga, Elche is the level of a Relegation team in La Liga, Dembele started again, played the whole game, or did not score, if it were not for the 17-year-old young garvey to make himself both a midfielder and a forward, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist, Barca's 3 points would become 1 point.
Tangtang Barca, the history of the team for a hundred years, why has it ever been so nested?
The Champions League group can't qualify, it was 20 years ago, and the long-term ranking of 7, 8 and 9 in the La Liga table was also more than 20 years ago.
However, for the world's top football clubs, the experience of decline is inevitable, but it will always come out of the trough and move towards revival.
As Barca's former meritorious manager Guardiola said in a recent interview: "Barca now have a very potential generation, they will lead this team, but they still need more time to grow. With the signing of new signings, Barca will return to their original position. At the same time, be patient, life is not always all about winning. ”
In order to improve the current situation of "weak fronts", Barca are ready to strengthen the front line in the upcoming winter window. According to a number of recent Spanish media news, Barca are close to reaching a transfer deal with Manchester City to bring in Spanish striker Ferran Torres, and the transfer fee divergence is not much.
At the beginning of the season, Guardiola once made a center for Ferran Torres, and the effect was not bad. In the Spanish national team in the past year, Ferran Torres has also scored the most goals.
Ferran Torres' forward line against Barca is naturally a useful addition, but it may not be much better than Dembele and Depay. But next summer, Barca are likely to have a bigger move in the transfer market.
Ter Stegen/Alba, Pique, Eric Garcia, Araujo/Pedri, Nico, Garvey/Fati, Haland, Abd
This is the starting eleven-man lineup predicted by the Spanish media for Barca next season, and the focus of which is naturally the name of the forward "Haaland".
Does Barca, now in debt, have enough money to bring in Haaland?
According to journalist Lluís Mascaró, Barca will keep trying to sign Haaland until the last minute, and the difficulty is not the transfer fee, but the union salary limit. Haaland's potentially high salary may not be available for the current Barca.
If Barca can get rid of high-paying "scraps" such as Coutinho, Dembele and Umtiti, the salary may not be too much of a problem.
