Get to work, Bumsi.

Laporta's initial number 1 pick.
So looking back, was Lewy for Xavi or was it for Pini, and this was the initial plan
Think Nagelsmann was his number 1 pick but Bayern hired him during the elections campaign, then he pivoted to Flick who had already committed to the German NT.

NTC with a Positive attitude
Would have preferred Nagelsmann.
Been watching a lot of videos on him recently. He seems quite unique.

No, but his system is built on defenders taking risk and accepting that it will result in plenty of counter attacks. It can fit Araujo style.

Personally I think this is how it went down. Barcelona from the start were considering sacking Xavi if Hansi Flick agreed with their terms. Xavi heard this and he simply felt it would make it look more respectful for both parties and he said he was going to quit. However when they got in contact with Flick and they couldn’t agree the wages he demanded. Laporta as much as him and Deco didn’t agree with Xavi’s methods, staff choices and wording, they then took a U turn and asked Xavi to reconsider as Flick was pretty much only option he would replace Xavi with but they didn’t make agreement. Xavi after weeks seen they stalled with Flick and there didn’t seem to be any other meet up with Flick so he agreed with Laporta he would stay. Then a couple weeks after that Flick called Laporta/Deco and said okay we can renegotiate, he basically agreed he would accept a 1 year contract with optional 1 year added and low wages. Laporta was in heaven and as super mean and disrespectful he would look in the papers and tv news, he wasn’t going to turn town Flick after his previous firm belief he was the right manager during previous meeting.
As much as some people think Laporta was just trying to make Xavi feel bad, it likely wasn’t like this and my story is 95% how it went down

Says the guy who was licking XAvi balls week in week out
No, you don't know his personality and talking out of your arse again
Even If he doesn't have charisma, I could not care less.
Xavi had plenty of 'charisma' in giving nice lectures and pitches, but he was an imbecile in making his team play actual football

How about you stop frothing about Xavi and give us your verdict on the expectations from Flick?
I want this on record so we can revisit your prediction in 6 months time

Like you ever do that with any coach or player, so on what grounds you expect me to do that?
