I don’t know why, but suddenly I have a picture of Nezha in my mind, so I wrote something I can relate to. When Nezha’s body dissipated, Taiyi helped him rebuild the golden body with lotus roots, and his "soul" was still there. The same is true of Barcelona. The "three heads and six arms" that once envied others and made a scene in the East China Sea has almost dissipated now, leaving only Messi and the "Ramasia" represented by Messi. La Marcia is the "soul" of Barcelona, which not only provides talents for the first team, but also keeps the same "soul" for the team: that is, the football that belongs to Barcelona.
However, with the departure of many old players, there are fewer and fewer Lamassia players in Barcelona’s first team, but it is not only Lamassia players who can continue Barcelona’s passing and controlling football. However, more and more players bought by Barcelona are more suitable for the type of quick counterattack, which makes the overall lineup of Barcelona somewhat "harmonious". It has nothing to do with the relationship between players, but the different styles of playing football.
In the post-Messi era, Barcelona needs to determine a question, that is, whether to continue its tradition of transmission and control in the future planning, or to follow the trend of the times, make some changes to its own kicking methods, and increase some speed, impact and physical confrontation. This is a very realistic problem that both Coleman and the new senior management should consider, which may affect Barcelona in the next few years or longer. It is also directly related to cleaning up some players in the team. What kind of direction can basically determine which kind of players the team will choose to clean.
Judging from various signs, it feels that Barcelona still tends to stick to its own traditions. Although Koman is not a player from La Masia, he is at least a meritorious player of Barcelona. He knows enough about Barcelona football. Even if he can’t lead Barcelona to any height, he will at least retain some Barcelona factors. He also knows that these factors are very important for Barcelona. For example, he knows exactly where Messi can play best. Now the club is trying its best to keep Messi, and the club will definitely show the greatest sincerity. As long as both Messi and Barcelona are happy, it is not necessarily necessary to have any champion Messi to stay, and hope will make people see the light.
If Messi can finally stay, then Messi can basically retire in Barcelona. It’s hard to say if he plays for too long. Three years should be no problem. It is time for Barcelona to change the old and the new, and it is also time to determine the future direction. Messi’s staying will make the team’s directionality determined, and Messi’s existence will also help the team complete such a "transition", so that the team will not have the possibility of a "cliff-like" decline.
The first player to enjoy this kind of "welfare" was Pedri, and it was just right when Pedri appeared. His talent in Barcelona is the core of the future midfield. If Messi leaves next year, Pedri will have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the midfield immediately. If Messi decides to stay, Pedri can learn more from Messi and grow steadily under relatively little pressure. So on the whole, Pedri is a player who is suitable for Barcelona and really lucky.
He is the kind of player who is naturally suitable for Barcelona football. The last such player was Artur, who has joined Juventus. Compared with Artur Pedri, he is younger, more physically fit, less fond of playing, works out every week, is more active in defensive running, and has better talent. It has been reported before that Barcelona will not sell Pedri even if it is short of funds, and may consider selling some other players. Barcelona now regards him as the core training in the future, an important "puzzle" on the road of Barcelona’s reconstruction, and a part of Barcelona’s "soul". Barca can choose to extend the contract between Barca and Pedri to 2024 at the longest, and talk about the renewal after two years. Keeping him is as important as keeping Messi.
Barcelona’s future will take him as the starting point and core, and make up a complete "soul" of Barcelona. And who will be the "Taiyi real person", let alone there may be, that is Bayern. It’s right to follow the path of the new Champions League. An interesting phenomenon is that Bayern was interested in Pedri and was won by Barcelona. As a result, Pedri performed well in Barcelona. Another player is Dester. When he was in Ajax, the biggest competitor Barcelona faced was Bayern. In the end, the player chose Barcelona. Now we see that he is the best right-back of Barcelona in recent years. Therefore, the Barcelona fan circle has the idea of "following Bayern is right". Although it is a joke, the reality is really so coincidental.
Don’t forget that Coutinho not only won the Champions League but also became stronger after being loaned to Bayern for one year. If Barcelona Middle Road was not too crowded and there was no other place, Coutinho’s performance in Barcelona this season would definitely be better than the previous season. Phuket, another midfielder of Barcelona, many people joked that he could be sent to Bayern to practice. Maybe he will be strong when he comes back. Now Phuket is too thin and other aspects are not bad.
His contract with Barcelona will also expire in June next year. Barcelona intends to extend the contract of this player from La Masia for two years. The club still wants to retain the talented player who came out of La Masia, or that La Masia is the "soul" of Barcelona.
It may be a joke to say that you want to follow Bayern Road, but Bayern’s "vision" in recent years is really good, which must be admitted. Barcelona experienced the "darkest hour" in Bartomeu, and it is also a good way to find the treasure under the illumination of the "bright lamp".
