Barca's recent situation is indeed worrying, and Xavi's departure is just a microcosm of the crisis. Xavi said when he left Barcelona that it was very difficult to become a Barcelona coach and that the instability of the Barca coach position was a common phenomenon. This is due to the struggles within Barça, the pressure and the struggle for control of power. Messi turned down two opportunities to return to Barcelona last summer, which also speaks to his views on Barca. This choice is a testament to Messi's sanity and decisiveness.
Barcelona is a giant team with a long history and many accolades, however, in recent years, Barcelona's problems have become increasingly prominent. First of all, Barça's financial situation is not ideal. According to Deloitte, Barcelona ranked only fourth in the world in terms of revenue last season, which is a significant decline from its past reputation and attractiveness. Secondly, Barcelona's squad is also facing problems. Young players have a lot of potential, but they need time to adapt and grow; Some veterans have grown older and are no longer in top-level form, and their performances have declined. In addition, Barcelona have had to make up for the lack of a squad with a number of stars on loan, who are not in the best form themselves. Barcelona's predicament is not only evident on the pitch, but also closely related to the external environment and internal management issues.
Barça's performance in recent games has been worrying. They have lost back-to-back matches such as the Copa del Rey and the Super Cup, while also sitting 10 points behind leaders Real Madrid in La Liga. This decline has raised concerns about whether Barcelona will be able to do well this season. Historically, it has not been easy to make up for such a large margin. In addition, Barcelona have been under pressure. As the defending champions of La Liga and a team participating in the Champions League, Barça's expectations are high. This kind of pressure puts a lot of baggage on the team and makes the coach's job more difficult.
Barcelona have always been a powerhouse in Spanish football, and they have brought countless glory and joy to their fans over the past few decades. However, with glory and joy comes great pressure and expectation. Whether it's from the fans, the club's hierarchy or **, the expectations for Barcelona are huge. This pressure makes the coaching position at Barcelona extremely difficult, and every coach has to endure a lot of pressure and doubt. Even a coach like Pep Guardiola, who has achieved brilliant results at Barcelona, faces endless tests and expectations after taking over the reins of Barcelona. This strong pressure and expectation makes Barcelona's coaching position a "hot potato", and it is difficult for anyone to work steadily in such an environment for a long time.
In addition to the problems on the pitch, Barcelona are also facing serious financial problems. Last year's financial report showed that Barcelona's revenue fell sharply, which became an important factor affecting Barça's future development. With a significant reduction in financial revenue, it will be difficult for Barcelona to participate in large transactions, which will have an impact on the team's recruitment and squad building. In addition, UEFA and La Liga's demands for financial fair play have also put pressure on Barça. Barcelona will face tighter financial controls, which will lead to greater problems for them in terms of recruiting and maintaining the competitiveness of the team.
For a big club, financial problems are an extremely important factor. At present, the continuous rise of various operating costs of football has made the big clubs face greater financial pressure. As one of the top clubs in the world, Barcelona is even more difficult to avoid such problems. However, Barça's financial problems are not only due to poor results, but are also directly related to the problems of the management. On the one hand, Barça's lack of financial income is mainly due to the decrease in various operating incomes. Whether it is sponsorship contracts, ticket sales or commercial development, they have all been frustrated by the impact of the external environment and the poor management of the club. On the other hand, Barça's large investment in recruitment costs and player salaries over the past few years has increased the financial burden, and these investments have not brought a corresponding return. For Barcelona, the management needs to take a series of measures to solve the financial problems while maintaining the competitiveness of the team. First of all, Barcelona needs to control the team's operating costs more strictly, including the expenditure of players' salaries, transfer fees, etc. Secondly, Barcelona also need to find new sponsors and business partners to increase the club's revenue**. In addition, Barça can also increase revenue by launching its own branded products, expanding the commercial operation of the club, etc. Finally, Barcelona need to develop a long-term development strategy, including bringing in excellent academy players and developing new potential players, which can help them continue to succeed on the pitch and maintain the stability of the team.
Barca's crisis and predicament is not only Xavi's personal responsibility, but also the club's hierarchy needs to bear some responsibility for the team's situation. Now, Barcelona need to find a suitable coach to lead the team back to the top. Jurgen Klopp is considered an ideal candidate, but it will not be easy to convince him to take charge of Barca. If Jurgen Klopp does not accept Barca's offer, the club will face the difficulty of finding an equally good coach. Barcelona's road to recovery has not been easy, and it will take the team's management and coaching staff to work together to regain their competitive form.
In the end, Messi's refusal to return to Barcelona was a wise decision. Barcelona are in a very difficult situation at the moment, with management problems at the top, financial problems and performance problems that make Barcelona a team that is unstable in many ways. Messi has spent his entire career at Barcelona, and his affection and loyalty to Barcelona are unquestionable. However, as a smart player, Messi has to think about his future. In the current Barça environment, his chances of personal development and pursuit of victory may be limited. Therefore, Messi made the sensible choice to leave Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain so that he could continue his career in a more stable and competitive team.
Overall, Messi's rational choice of Barcelona reflects his consideration for his future and career development. Despite being one of the most important teams in his career, Barça's current situation is far from ideal. Faced with financial problems, management chaos and a decline in the team's competitive form, Messi's departure was a sane decision and he chose a more stable and competitive club to continue his career. This is the right choice for his personal growth and pursuit of victory.
