After four consecutive league games with three points, for Barca, their situation in the league has improved significantly. If they can win two more games in the first half of the league, they can even be strong contenders for the title. However, even so, the team's performance this season has clearly met the expectations of the outside world. Judging by the situation in the table, Barca are already in a fairly solid position, especially judging by the competitive state they have shown, it is almost impossible for them to miss next season's Champions League. This will be important for Laporta to continue to strengthen the team after the season.
Judging by the situation so far this season, Laporta has indeed shown the level of a good manager. At the beginning of the season, the team lost its star, and his operation once encountered a lot of criticism. Especially in the first half of the season, the team's signing effect was not ideal, and the record was quite sluggish, in this case, Laporta chose to change the team's head coach position. In hindsight, his decision was a turning point for the team this season. Under Harvey's leadership, the team has improved very clearly in terms of technical and tactical aspects, and the shadow of the top team has once again appeared on their bodies. More importantly, in terms of the atmosphere of the team, Harvey's management level is also quite good, and the team's mental outlook has been renewed, which has greatly enhanced the team's combat effectiveness. Coupled with the fact that the quality of the team's subsequent reinforcements is quite outstanding, it is natural for the whole team to "add wings to the tiger" and achieve steady improvement in the record.
When it comes to the team's transfer this season, Depay was once considered the most cost-effective signing. The Dutch striker did make a big contribution in the first half of the season and has been the team's most relied scorer. Objectively speaking, however, Depay is not a pure goalscorer and his goals depend heavily on a lot of possession. To a certain extent, this affected the offensive operation of the whole team. Although dePay seems to have a very good performance from the data point of view, the other teammates are not driven by his performance, but are compressed on the field space and opportunities to take the ball. So, judging by the season, Depay doesn't seem to be a good fit to be the core player on the offensive end in a team like Barca. With multiple capable passers in midfield, what Barca really need is a striker who doesn't need to take up too much ball. From this point of view, Aubameyang does fit Harvey's tactical system better than Depay.
Predictably, as long as Aubameyang continues to be in excellent competitive form, he will still occupy the team's starting center position for the rest of the season. In addition to Aubameyang, Luke De Jong has also shown a strong competitiveness, he is the only forward in the team with pivot ability, and he is also one of the best players in the team in terms of scoring efficiency. There also seems to be no more room for Depay on the flanks. On both flanks, Dembele and Ferran Torres are in good form, playing very well both in assists and goals. Dembele's passing and breakthroughs on the flanks are recovering to their peak level, and Ferran Torres' ability to seize opportunities, which has been criticized, seems to have improved significantly. In this case, Depay, who continues not to get enough opportunities, is likely to leave the team after the end of the season.
However, given the age factor, Neither Luke De Jong nor Aubameyang can be a long-term choice for the team, and they are not Laporta's favorite candidates in terms of improving the team's brand value. Relatively speaking, Haaland is certainly the player who best meets La Porta's requirements, but signing him is too difficult and Laporta is not sure enough to take him to the Camp Nou. As a result, he is likely to have to take a back seat and choose a better shooter to bring top-notch instant combat to the team. According to transfer expert Adria Alberts, as the season draws to a close, Lewandowski's tendency to leave the team, whose contract extension is not going well, is becoming more and more pronounced. Barca have already made Bayern's striker an important target for reinforcements and are expected to sign him at the end of the season.
However, in other positions, with players who are less competitive, Barca are still operating some big transfers. This season, Wertz has emerged as almost the best striker in European football, and his value has risen all the way to 70 million euros. Considering that he is only 18 years old, the upper limit can be said to be unlimited. From the existing midfielders in barca, Pedri, Garvey and other players belong to the center forward, and the team lacks a good forward player. According to transfer expert Romano, Laporta admires Wiltz very much and hopes to sign him next season. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
