The great obsession at FC Barcelona has a name and surname: Lionel Andrés Messi. Happiness of the azulgrana crack is symptom of success in the Catalan club.
The board of directors does not think of anything else other than to please the Argentine star. Hence, his millionaire contract renewal. Ernesto Valverde moves in the same line.
Although the Txingurri is knowing to maintain the distances with Messi better than Luis Enrique or Tata Martino did , the coach from Extremadura also knows who is in charge.
The virtue of Valverde is that he knows how to give in to the pretensions of ' 10 ', without needing to become a ball. What happened to his predecessors.
Given the complex draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League , the Barça coach is already preparing a crash plan. You have to wiggle the transfer market this January to fight Chelsea for Cesc Fabregas , Pedro , Morata and Eden Hazard .
The priority in the transfer agenda has been clear since last summer: Philippe Coutinho. A player with two great virtues. Neither is Neymar , nor is Iniesta,but he can do both.
The problem is that I could not play the Champions. If Coutinho comes , he would be a fixture in the league , but he would not take sides in European duels. And I would not be in front of Chelsea.
In that case, the presence of Ousmane Dembelé will be very important , whose recovery is practically finished. There is much hope in the French striker.
Leon Goretzka for the Champions
However, Valverde is clear one thing: the template is not enough to knock down a big as is Chelsea. It will touch suffering a lot.
That is why he has launched plan B: a new signing that can compete in Europe. The player who plays is more profile Iniesta or Xavi and still young, but they like it a lot.
His name is Leon Goretzka and he plays in Schalke 04 . German 22 years oldand 1.89 meters tall, is tremendously skilled for his measurements.
In addition, he has scored four goals in 12 games. A figure that is not bad considering that its functions are more of an organizer / dealer than an offensive player.
The alternative would be to hire a Brazilian soccer jewel: Arthur. The crack of Gremio is 21 years old, but his scoring statistic is much lower than that of Leon: a goal in 39 games.
