Chapter 237 This Is Not Usurping the Throne, This Is Inheritance!

"We need a stable and effective tactical system."

After returning to the club, Valverde held a coaches meeting overnight and put this charter on the agenda.

For Barcelona now, what they need most urgently is a stable tactical system.

A tactical system that is suitable for oneself and can be used all over the world with one move.

The current Barcelona game is like a hundred flowers blooming.

He can play defense, pass-and-control, and offensive football. He looks beautiful, but his playing is also chaotic enough. They are all copycats and have no routine of their own.

Some are just relying on their super personal abilities to barely support themselves.

This is a scattered force, and what Valverde needs to do is to concentrate these scattered forces and let them burst out with shocking energy at the same time.

Valverde accepted Barcelona during a period of turmoil, when he was so preoccupied with how to solve the dilemma that he put the cart before the horse.

Now, a large number of signings allow Valverde to implement more long-term plans.

Although he hates to admit it, Valverde understands that the current Barcelona still carries the football of Enrique's era.

He did not develop his own characteristics.

So what are you good at?

Valverde asked himself, and finally concluded that he was not good at anything.

Many people said that he valued youth training, but at the time he was at Athletic Bilbao.

It's not that he wants to focus on youth training, but he has to choose generals from the dwarfs, but even so, he still handed over a good report card.

At the same time, he has also become an excellent head coach with his Athletic Bilbao resume.

But this did not satisfy his ambition.

His decision to challenge Barcelona was based on this. He didn't want to be good, he wanted to be great.

And Barcelona can obviously help him step into this field.

But since coming to Barcelona, ​​he has realized that wealthy families have a lot of right and wrong.

This was not the scene he had imagined, and he couldn't hold it any longer.

But Valverde has one characteristic. He is not a head coach who wants too much control. He likes to listen to the voices of his players, communicate with them on an equal footing, and integrate into a whole.

This is how Barcelona is now.

Is this a feature?

At most, it's a dog licking.

But licking a dog also requires licking the right person.

Valverde was a little confused.

Messi or Yi Le!

Before determining the new tactical system, he needs to select the core factors.

The league needs a core, and a competition like the Champions League needs a core even more.

The meaning of the core is not as simple as his position in the team. He needs to step forward in times of crisis.

As everything goes, with great ability comes great responsibility.

On one side is Barcelona’s uncrowned king, Messi.

On the other side is the rising generation of Barcelona's successors.

In the end, Valverde still preferred Yile.

It's not that Messi can't do it, but that Yile has greater potential and can shoulder more burdens.

His big heart has been proven in countless Champions League appearances.

For this reason, Valverde specially asked Messi to have a dialogue.

He needs to tell the other person what he thinks.

He thought it was a particularly difficult task, but he found it was much easier than he imagined.

Messi basically showed no resistance. He was willing to hand over the core of the team and support Yi Le to become the new generation of Barcelona king.

Messi's original words are this.

"Barcelona needs a new leader. I dare not say that I am a successful captain, but I try my best to fight for her. But in fact, countless times of exhaustion during the game made me clearly feel that I have entered the game. At the end of my career, I no longer have the ability to create miracles, which is a characteristic unique to young people."

"Yi Ben belongs here, and I have no objections to him. I am willing to be a stepping stone for him to ascend to the throne. The only thing I hope for is that we can become better and win more games.

"

Looking at Messi with a smile on his face, Valverde sighed.

He understands how much Messi loves this club and is willing to sacrifice himself for it.

Yile is indeed the right choice.

Many Barcelona players have not said this out loud, but they also secretly agree in their hearts.

Especially the younger generation, such as Fati, Umtiti and others, are getting closer to Yi Le and have become a new small group.

Messi did not stop all this, but watched with relief as they thrived.

He hopes to help them grow up as much as possible while he is still capable.

The conversation ended happily, and as a sign of respect, Valverde personally sent Messi out.

The next day, Valverde publicly announced the core staff in the locker room.

Regarding the issue of Yi Le being the core, it is a tacit understanding within the team.

But Valverde made this matter public, and the nature is different.

Many people turned to look at Messi subconsciously.

Even Yi Le himself was a little stunned.

Messi's performance was very indifferent. He took the initiative to step forward, patted Yi Le on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "I agree!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Everyone felt a little dazed, and Yile became the public core of Barcelona's new generation.

This means that a new era for Barcelona is about to begin.

Next, Barcelona will redesign a new tactical system around Yile.

In the new tactical system, Valverde chose to use a large number of new players.

For example, Umtiti, Fati, De Jong, Wague, etc. will all be candidates for the new system.

A system that combines old and new, reorganizes the age structure, and creates a new Barcelona team.

In order to achieve balance, Valverde left the positions of Messi, Suarez and Pique, and needed these three veterans to lead the new team.

But people like Busquets, Vidal, Rakitic and others will gradually withdraw from the main stage.

Even if Valverde did not issue a transfer notice, they knew very well that there was no place for them in the new generation of Barcelona.

It's cruel and impersonal, but that's professional football.

Among them, Busquets can choose to stay, and the club has expressed its willingness to support him until he retires.

But Busquets is very confused,

He still wants to play football again, but he can no longer keep up with the pace of the new era.

He's the knockout, so more preparation is required.

Maybe leaving is also a good choice.

After all, Xavi, Iniesta and others also made such choices.

On November 30, Valverde held a press conference to announce the reorganization of the team.

At the same time, he announced to the outside world the ownership of the "new generation of Barcelona core".

When the name Yile appeared, the reporters were both surprised and somewhat expected.

The surprise is that while Messi is still here, Barcelona has reorganized the team early and is anxious to push Yile to the table.

Unexpectedly, Yi Le already has enough strength to support the whole team. He is not a rookie, he is the king of the new generation.

The media reported this incident crazily, and some even exaggeratedly said, "This is an act of usurping the throne from Yi." ’

This is a small newspaper hoping to get eyeballs on a proposed headline.

In fact, they did gain attention, but they were also scolded by angry Barcelona fans.

On this day, the official website of this newspaper was flooded with words from Barcelona fans.

'idiot! This is not usurping the throne, this is inheritance! ! ’
