Enric Masip spoke about the current situation in Barcelona at Josep Pedrerol’s Cafelito. He confirmed that Laporta rejected an offer from PSG for Lamine Yamal, as MARCA reported at the time. He believes that Barcelona can win the Champions League and that Rodri deserved the Ballon d’Or.
Xavi
“It is not easy to assess how he left. He made the decision in January after the game against Villarreal, then he wanted to continue and because of who Laporta is he let him continue. With anyone else I would not have consented to it. I always believed that that would not work I advised him not to continue because I thought he had lost his way with the squad and it is very difficult to recover it. I spoke with Xavi afterwards, I went ahead and gave him my opinion as a former professional athlete. But I am a club man and he was. decided, Well, let’s all row together.”
Player improvement
“The squad is the same. To praise what Flick does is not to throw down everything that Xavi has done, which has a lot of merit. Flick is more physical, he works on other things and has hit the key. He has a very good technical team. There was interest in strengthening the physical aspect and the players’ version is much better. There were people who said that Lewandowski was finished, they wanted to sell Raphinha…”
Nico
“If a player does not want to move, there is not much room left. There is little that can be done. It was not because of Fair Play, if we had signed him we would have done everything necessary to register him. We have not put the cross on him. Each one is free to choose his moment. The Sports Management is wise”.
Opposition
“Laporta is worried that people come out when you are in a bad moment and say that Barcelona is in danger of extinction. The Camp Nou is growing, you see the young squad with a future… In danger of extinction? It’s not like that. There is joy.”
Messi march
“I don’t know the issue in depth. The president said that the club couldn’t be put in danger and that’s how it is. Maybe it could have been done better. It touched Laporta because he was very fond of him.”
Lamine Yamal
“Right now he is the most decisive player. It is not good to say that he is the best in the world. In a year when Mbappé decides to go to Madrid, being the icing on the cake for a champion team, we get a kid who dazzles in Europe. The season begins Mabappé league and a 17-year-old boy appears who starts playing in a happy and overflowing way. What Vinicius does can be done by Mbappé, what Lamine does is what Messi did, it is something different. “Every game he does something that leaves you with your mouth open.”
Possible march
“The president said that he rejected an offer from PSG of 250 million. He never considered accepting it. If you have money you can aspire to sign everything, but there is a component with these young players who really enjoy where they are to win and play well.”
Haaland
“With the club’s new economy and the new stadium, Barça can consider signing any player. Another thing is whether you really need him or prefer to bring two.”
Mabppé’s Madrid
“It is a great team with incredible players, but you can see that they are not comfortable playing. It is a Madrid champion, to which Mbappé has arrived but who plays as a nine where he has not done so in recent years. It is not easy. This player When he is well he will be a machine.”
Vinicius Ballon d’Or?
“Rodri encompasses what the Ballon d’Or is, although Vinicius’ level has been very high. But, what is valued? If it is for talent, Vinicius could have won it. If so, Messi would have won 13. Cristiano For me, Messi is better, he is four steps above Cristiano. Could it be, but no one gives it to a defender. And I really like the message that Rodri sends to him. the children. Not Vinicius’.
negreira
“It has done damage because many people have accentuated the issue so that the ball becomes bigger. It is ridiculous that anyone thinks that a referee has helped Barcelona. Nobody has been able to prove that this has been the case.”
Barça win the Champions League
“Of course they can win it. We were able to win it last year with the situation we had. We had the tie against PSG in hand, then Dortmund would have come and then Madrid to whom anything could happen in one game in a final. This year there are several teams that can win it and Barça is one of them like City or Madrid.”
Cruyff: Absolutely, there’s no doubt that Flick has introduced a new intensity to the squad. The tactical adjustments have allowed the players to express themselves better on the pitch, and I think as we move forward, we’ll see even greater improvements.
Sure, I’d be happy to assist you with that! Here’s an interview in thematic sections with two guests, Enric Masip and Jordi Cruyff, discussing the key topics covered in the article:
Thematic Section 1: Xavi’s Departure and Player Improvement
Guest 1: Enric Masip, Barcelona Legend and Former Player
Guest 2: Jordi Cruyff, Football Analyst and Son of Johan Cruyff
Interviewer: Can you discuss the departure of Xavi Hernandez from Barcelona? How did his tenure end, and what impact do you think it had on the team?
Masip: Well, it’s not easy to assess how he left. He made the decision in January after the game against Villarreal, then he wanted to continue and because of who Laporta is he let him continue. With anyone else, I would not have consented to it. I always believed that that would not work. I advised him not to continue because I thought he had lost his way with the squad, and it is very difficult to recover it. I spoke with Xavi afterwards. I went ahead and gave him my opinion as a former professional athlete. But I am a club man, and he was the president’s decision, so let’s all row together.
Cruyff: As Masip said, it’s not easy to assess how Xavi left. The Camp Nou is growing, and there’s a young squad with a future. Some people might look at the current situation and think that the team is not doing well, but it’s important to remember that they’re still growing. Regarding player improvement, it’s true that Flick has done great things with the team’s physicality, but you can’t discount everything Xavi did. He has a lot of merit as well.
Interviewer: What do you think about the current coaching situation at Barcelona? How has the team progressed under Head Coach Hans-Dieter Flick?
Masip: It’s not just about praising what Flick does. He has done well, but you can’t forget what Xavi did. He brought many great things to the team. Regarding the progress under Flick, there’s a difference in playing style, and it seems to be
