Barcelona can not show the 'target item' to your own to restore the champion item.
The keyboard & art of Arturo Vidal in the Bundesliga mùa 2017/18
Champions League is paramount
Barcelona will set aside such things as style, tradition, "Barca DNA", etc. to aim for a bigger goal than all: Champions League 2018/19. Real Madrid have won the title four times in the past five years and that hurt many Barca officials, not to mention the fans.
Winning the La Liga and the King's Cup last season was a huge success, but as long as Real Madrid conquered the European Cup, then Barca's exploits still felt pointless. 2018 is not the first Barca won a domestic double but the Real is overshadowed by the C1 Cup, the same thing happened exactly 20 years ago (1998) that Barca in the first round of the table.
Barcelona's 3-year stint in the Champions League quarter-finals has left a mark on Barca officials, especially the way they were eliminated last season at AS Roma. They have a level playing field but only a wrong match by coach Ernesto Valverde, only a less prominent performance of Lionel Messi makes everything out.
It seems that the Barcelona officials have decided that in order to conquer the Champions League, the best way is to diversify their force so that the quality of the Barca team is so good that the bench is also full of players. Team B is not inferior to A-Team too much.
The addition of Arthur was to be ready for a new generation of midfielders when Andres Iniesta was leaving while Busquets and Rakitic were getting older. Lenglet will find it hard to get Pique & Umtiti's main kick but will have plenty of time to put in place two senior players. Malcom and Dembele will have to wait for Barça to take on Messi - Suarez - Coutinho. And they will wait, because no one is over 21 and there are still many opportunities ahead.
Only Arturo Vidal at the age of 31 would be able to kick the key from the start. Malcom, Clement Lenglet and Arthur, Barcelona decided to buy a player capable of sweeping the middle of the pitch to replace Paulinho. The Chilean does not look like a "Barca player," a keen alcoholic who owns the Mohawk's "bear head" and threatens with dangerous tackles.
But Diego Maradona has the famous saying: "Many stars also need to carry water to the well." The "drawer" is an Italian term used to refer to players who intercept midfield, and that is Vidal's role in Juventus as well as Bayern. He just needs to catch the ball frequently and give it to Messi, Coutinho or other attacking stars, the winning formula is sometimes just that.
Arts avoid price pressure
Boosting the staff is necessary, but with the market situation of "inflation" after the sale of Neymar and Barca were quite expensive prices for Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho, to switch to young players than a discount solution. . But Barca also have a smart tactic for them to buy goods without being forced money, which is the speed factor & secret.
Two cases of Malcom & Arturo Vidal are examples. Malcolm is on the plane to Roma then Barca immediately bid for Bordeaux, while Vidal is the target Inter Milan pursue Barca also jump into the robbery at the last minute. Even if the market is still closed for a month, the Catalan team may still be making another "robbery".
Barca's logic is simply that when another team approaches their goal and gets the price tag out of the team, they know the market price of the player and just make a slightly higher offer. hands on. If Barça comes out ahead, the governing body will offer a much higher amount of money to go to Barca, and they will be on the losing side.
It is likely that Barça will also do it with Chelsea winger Willian, who has been linked with Manchester United for a while but suddenly the Barca name appears. It is a simple tactic that high hands in the day the price of this player dizzy.
