Spain's and Barca game will be changing drasticly.

On our coaching site is a coach named Jordi a spaniard who,posts on it from time to time, and wrote a book on how they play.

He just posted this

"Hi, all. Long time without posting and lurking from time to time, and now I see this. I can't go if not say my 2c.

The first thing you have to think about is that probably Barça will be 1 season without any signings, because of the FIFA ban. So, they have to take as much as they just in case of.

The second point is that this Board wants to eliminate whatever that can remind Laporta, Cruyff or Guardiola. If you have followed the last news, the Kit Manager (Txema Corbella), was fired after 32 years serving the 1st team. Also, the cook at the Training Center was fired (he came at Pep's time). According to some people the next ones in danger are Pepe Costa (the link between players and Board and, very close to Messi) and Carlos Naval (Delegate of the 1st team for around 30 years). The bosses at "La Masia" (Amor and Puig), have been fired with no explanation.

Another point is that this Board wants to sell Messi, whatever they say. He is not HIS player. Neymar or Suárez are. So easy.

We could be hours talking about the reform of the Camp Nou or the Tax Fraud Trial, but it's not my idea here.

Back to what is just football, if you put together points 1, 2 & 3, you'll find why so many signings and also why no players are promoted from B team. They are no interested in them, unless it's for selling. You can see that 7-8 players have been released from B team without any money coming in.

All this also is one of the reasons to take Luis Enrique as Manager. He knows the place, he has a strong character and... he won't play "possession style" as we know. Matches will be like hockey matches: up and down, up and down. It's going to be a game of transitions. No Xavi anymore to put the "pace" of the match, no more Busquets as CM (I bet will see Busquets and Mascherano together as a double pivot), etc.

Will we see a good Barça? I think so. Will we see the way of playing that everybody loved around the World? I doubt it a lot

For many time Barça has been "Més que un Club" (More than a Club); now, it's becoming "Un Club més" (Just another Club).

Sadly, this is what we have."
