“Real Madrid can sign whoever they want, I absolutely don't care,” just take a guess who said these words!

That's right, it was Barcelona warrior, Gavi!

At a time when everyone is generating memes about how Real Madrid will demolish Barcelona, we have a totally different opinion and are on the verge of the creation of a NEW GREAT BARCELONA!

We're not joking, guys! The football world is not ready for such an outcome, but today we are going to tell you why Mbappe's move should frighten Madrid rather than the Catalans!

So sit back and relax, and we're about to get started!

HANSI FLICK

Joan Laporta clearly mistreated Xavi, and he will be remembered for his actions for a long, long time, but if you listen carefully to what the Barcelona president had to say regarding his controversial turnaround, then some of his arguments also seem to sound strong:

"Xavi told me that he trusted this team, but then some of his statements looked like he changed his speech. It caused me to rethink... and I had the feeling that I had to do a change, also with the same feeling shared with the board,” Laporta shared.

Then Joan continued: "I started thinking of Flick as Barça manager since I re-joined the club. He started studying the team right after Xavi's announcement. All the reports we have on Flick were super positive. Deco and Bojan also had the same feeling, Flick had to be our coach".

So, upon his return in 2021, Joan's No. 1 option was Flick, but circumstances led to his inability to lure Hansi away from Germany job in the fall of 2021, actually forcing him to turn his attention to Xavi.

Now everything has fallen into place - you see, the president has secured the services of the “coach of his dreams” and explained Xavi's dismissal by his lack of faith in the current roster. Indeed, the ex-Barca boss was sometimes too honest with journalists, with his speech about the club's inability to compete against Real Madrid and other big teams financially being a fatal blow...

Xavi intended to make another mini-revolution this summer and even offload footballers like Lewandowski, Raphinha, Frenkie, and Araujo. At the same time, Barça's board disagreed with many of those decisions and eventually a solution was found: IT’S EASIER TO CHANGE THE COACH THAN TO PART WAYS WITH SO MANY PLAYERS!

In contrast to Xavi, Hansi Flick began to study Barça's first team, Barça Atletic, and La Masia's youth teams back in February - in private conversations with Deco, the German manager praised the club's squad potential, claiming that this set of players is capable of FIGHTING FOR ALL AVAILABLE TROPHIES! Needless to say, he is the perfect candidate for Barça's board.

Laporta and the Blaugrana board of directors also felt how much the gap between them and Real Madrid had grown over the past season: the “Merengues” won 3 out of 3 head-to-head meetings with a total score of 9:4. One could say that Xavi has lost to Ancelotti fair and square, and this fact alone serves as a wake-up call.

On top of that, there are the transfers of Mbappé, Endrick, and possibly Alphonso Davies and Leny Yero. Los Blancos have proven to be a financially healthy club, which might even compete for Haaland's signature in 2025...

[Oh, come on!]

In order to compete with the strongest club in the world, you need a coach who is mentally prepared for an epic battle like this and it is in Flick that Barça has found its superhero. The German is highly motivated after a long break, having turned down offers from Chelsea and Bayern Munich, and by the way - it was his dream to work with the Spanish giants. In other words, Hansi will give his 200% at the job.

The new manager considers discipline and fitness level to be one of the club's biggest weaknesses - Flick plans to introduce even more strict rules than Xavi had brought in, and aims to turn Barça into a monster team, just like he did at Bayern.

Indeed, the coach has the material to achieve that, plus, Barça are actively improving their coaching staff, so be prepared to see a Barcelona squad we won't recognize at all in the next season. It will be a COMPLETELY NEW BARCA - strong, fast, and unpredictable! They will make Real Madrid and Ancelotti's life significantly more difficult, as they will also undergo a mini-rebuild due to the transfers of Mbappe and Endrick!

Ilkay Gündogan's words the other day also prove that Barcelona and its supporters can expect to experience a whole new reality with the arrival of Flick:

"Around 80% of the success of a team depends on the coach".

This is by no means a dig at Xavi, who has led the Catalans out of a deep crisis and brought trophies back to the Camp Nou. Ilkay was talking about his new life at the club and his faith in the new coach. After a trophyless season, Barca have to STEP UP and Hansi Flick is the RIGHT MAN who can provide a proper SHOCK THERAPY for the players who are LOOKING FOR THAT CHALLENGE!
