Constant rotation, even getting a mention of these kinds of names, points out the desperate times for Barca. Majority of the other offensive minded managers don't want to touch the squad with a ten foot pole. Amazing how little weight being La Liga champions carries these days. Even getting Abelardo probably wouldn't drastically diminish team's chances to win it. Quality on show from championship level squads has gone down.. so hugely...
Somewhat sad times for Spain given it is just incessantly teasing the clubs of Alaves level. Making them feel that they're actually achieving something by having a chance of getting at top4 teams on any given day, while at the end of the year it'll amount to nothing, but just anecdotal pride. Alaves probably still won't finish in top7 and they're basically be what Burnley was in Premier League last year.
PSG are the closest thing to innovation across Europe. I'd love Dortmund to join them, but I'm not convinced they care for coming up with a new brand of football that would challenge the Premier League coaches.
Spain needs to lead the race for the next Pep, next Klopp or the next Conte whose tactics will get copied by the likes of Setien. One would have hoped Zidane could be the man to regularly bring back the 4-4-2 as a useful counter to the modern hyperathletic winger-wingbacks, but it's not looking likely. Couldn't do it with the CM obsession Madrid have. Not sure he even wanted to. Shame.
Wish him good luck wherever he'll go. Also hope that Rubi can keep Gijon in La Liga but it will be very tough.
