FC Barcelona【22/23 Season Complete Introduction】

・Pep’s “ideal successor” by all accounts.

・He has declared himself that “Barcelona is the best club in the world” and that “draws and losses are not acceptable; we must always win.” Despite his inexperience as a coach, he understands the values and philosophy of Barça better than anyone.

・Last season, after six and a half years at the helm, he was entrusted with rebuilding a team in turmoil that began with the departure of Lionel Messi, and although the team did not win a championship, the obvious changes in the team and the sense of hope have earned the trust of most fans and media.

・This season, in which he will be in charge of building the team prior to the opening of the season, will be a true test of his abilities as a coach. In the second year of the season, he will have to put “Xavism” into the team and convince people with both results and content.

・”Symbol of the New Era”

・He organizes the game with a mature calmness and extreme composure, and keeps the whole team tight with his inexhaustible stamina and responsible defense. He has proven his ability in the CL and EURO.

・He is the closest thing to a successor to Andres Iniesta, whom he idolized as a boy. He is the closest thing to a successor to Andres Iniesta, whom he has admired since he was a boy.

・He is reserved in character and does not say much. He is the type of person who carries his passion for football inside and speaks eloquently through his performances.

・”The DNA of Barcelona”

・He uses his natural skill to cut through tight spaces, takes on the opposition with guts, and wows the crowd with his fierce tackling.

・He made his debut for the Spanish national team at the age of 17 years and 62 days, the youngest ever, and has been called up ever since. His play has been compared to that of his manager, Xavi.

・”Prodigy who inherited Messi’s number “10””

・The attacker with the future of the club, who was developed at La Masia with Kubo Tatehide and others, made his debut two years ago as the second youngest player in La Liga history (16 years and 298 days) and had a fruitful season, becoming the youngest scorer for club and national team, but since then he has been he has been repeatedly injured.

・He uses his natural speed and skill to break down opposing defenses and calmly sinks heavy shots when the opportunity arises.

・”Modern Bomber”

・The biggest attraction is his phenomenal scoring ability. Last season he hit 50 goals. He has the ability to find the net from inside and outside the penalty area, and his coordination with the midfield and positioning sense as a CF are excellent.

・The problem is that he will turn 34 in August, but Xavi is confident that he can be a first-line player for the next two to three years.

・A wealth of experience that could also encourage the development of younger players such as Pedri, Gabi, and Araujo is also appealing.

・”Monster ambidextrous FW”

・He joined the club with a transfer fee of over 100 million euros, but due to problems in his life and with the club, he had not been able to match the amount of money he had spent, but with the arrival of Xavi and Aubameyang, he improved and recorded a league-leading 13 assists. The boos at the Camp Nou soon turned into applause.

・With a light touch and rapid acceleration and deceleration, they cut deep into the enemy camp and improved their last pass, which had been a problem.

・”The Heart of Barcelona”

・He is a world-class anchor who makes the game with his precise decisions, exquisite technique, and unique timing that leaves the experts awestruck, and he is an iconic figure who has devoted his entire career to Barcelona.

・Although he can find almost no fault, he is sometimes criticized for his dives, and he says, “It’s not an act. It’s an act of intelligence.” He is not a play-acting man, but a man of intelligence.

・”Barcelona Breakwater”

・He is the most marketable player in his 30s in this position and one of the best defenders in the world.

・He makes big saves in every game. His tremendous saving ability is reminiscent of his native Oliver Kahn.

・At times, he joins the passing game in the final line and can also contribute in the build-up, showing no fear of opponent pressure. He is also a good ball handler at his feet, providing vertical passes to the midfield or excellent feeds to the front line.
