Once finalized items two of the three great games of the season and the final of the Copa del Rey to a month view, Josep Guardiola faces the biggest decision in four years: Barca continue to lead one more season or we can wrap up this stage and face new challenges. Pep has everything going for it to take the `yes the president Sandro Rosell but want to be sure to choose the best for him and the club.
It is impossible to know what's on Guardiola's head, beyond some ideas that he has been passed in its many appearances before the press and the few things that, with a dropper, have been leaking into the environment Barça.
Pep has always said he would feel that his players while still hunger for titles. Everyone, from Messi to Cuenca, through Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol and Valdes, have publicly called for renewal. But the coach needed a sporting event of this commitment. The demonstration of recent months, linking eleven wins in the league Real Madrid to approach while attending the fronts of the Cup and the Champions League, have served as confirmation that their players are competitive and want more titles.
Guardiola also has a large credit from the fans who chanted his name repeatedly and smoothly after the last two against Real Madrid and Chelsea saw with satisfaction how the Nou Camp chanted in 'Cant Barça' and 'Being Barca is the millor that has hi '. Moreover, as a coach, would meet the challenge of returning to the club since the depression of defeat to the path of the titles, as it did in 2008.
Sure, there are also aspects that are working against the continuation of Guardiola, who has in no way delayed his response to maintain a pose during these months but had serious doubts.
For starters, if the step forward and renewed, must make important decisions in the locker room and could be emotionally difficult. When he reached the first team took on the progress of Ronaldinho and Deco, Eto'o then and then that of Ibrahimovic. They were sacred cows but were not their 'praetorian'. Now, however, it is necessary to address issues affecting some players with a high specific weight and who have helped in the success of these four years.
You need to sign a striker and a central should be transferred to some players 'middle class'; some heavyweights should be gradually lost prominence in the starting line and others should seriously rethink their professional attitude in some details performance have been penalized. If he stays, it means that Guardiola is ready to carry out these essential adjustments.
These are the subjective, emotional situation. But there are other criteria and objectives coldest place on the negative plate of the scale. Today, the Pep Guardiola sum thirteen of seventeen titles that can be fourteen of eighteen on May 25. Not only that, the 'Pep Team' is the only one who has completed the sextet, and his qualifications and football, besides marking a time came to open the debate about whether this is the best team in the history of football.
In these circumstances, the reason may push you to pack it difficult to guess what can be done to overcome these successes. The team has peaked and it is obviously impossible to stay permanently in excellence. On the other hand, wear personal peculiarities is managing a club like Barca implies an extra factor for Pep often had to pull the car virtually alone.
And finally, is the temptation that is starting a greenfield project in another big league. No one is aware that the poster is unsurpassed in Europe Guardiola and his advisor Josep Maria to come Orobitg future deals. It is known that very Roman Abramovich, the Chelsea owner would put their million available to the Catalan coach. Silvio Berlusconi also be delighted with the opportunity to accept direct the booth of Milan. It is especially attractive the idea of leading the England team. Options only consider whether to decide to leave the Camp Nou. The 'Gent Blaugrana' cross your fingers for not giving the case.
