He simply asked between tittles but less Barca DNA style and Barca DNA style but no tittle, which one should you go for.
Even if EV won the treble, he would still be hated by Barca fans. Because no DNA.
Bbz is right about one thing, if Xavi takes over from beginning, people will still talk about top 4 and say he will have several seasons to build the team. Let's say, if Koeman or other coaches fail to finish in top 4, he will be cursed forever but it won't happen to Xavi.
Not sure about Laporta cause i think he prefers other coaches over Xavi.
Thanks.
Other guys didn't get my point/question.
It is not about EV at all, but about Barca DNA and principles.
One thing which is baffling to me is that, imo, among Barca fans who started to follow Barca under Pep, their principles are different.
Among those fans, the obssession with beautiful play is way stronger.
Obssession with La Masia is way stronger.
Cult following of Pep is way stronger.
There is way higher optimism about Xavi.
On the other hand, for older fans, lets say me, Khaled, Joan, even you Vegitot and similar:
There is less obssession about pure Pep's style.
Those guys are less desperate on La Masia.
Those guys are more open to new styles, away from Barca DNA.
Those guys don't mind results with ugly play (EV).
I would say that among guys who started to follow Barca around 2008 or later, there are imo 80% of Barca-Dna hardcore fans.
While among fans who followed Barca in 80s, 90s or 00s, it is more like 50:50.
Some guys don't care about Barca DNA (like me), and some are hardcore Cruijffistas.
Even if you cover the names of posters with your hand, after reading a few posts on any youngster, Pep, Xavi, EV or Rakitic/Pailinho (or Arthur, lol), majority of posters have the same opinion about this topics (either left or right).
And after reading optimism and hype from fans about Xavi who talks about 343 or how there won't be any debates about style, it is more and more clear that Barca will dance on the same place for the next 10 or 20 years.
Pep's era, as can be seen by posts here, is one very fucked up phenomenon.
It will probably be both:
1. the best thing which has ever happened to Barca
2. and the worst thing which has ever happened to Barca, because due to the drug which that style creates and evokes in fans, there is absolutely no way that we will ever move to something different
With Xavi, it is clear:
1. if he'll make some progress, we'll hear = give him more time
2. if he'll fail = it's not the system, he needs more time and we need better players to make it work.
More or less, it will never be the system's fault as long as fans who grew up during Pep are alive because those emotions and addiction are ingrained eternally into their brains and blood.
In that sense, I know the answer to my question: majority of younger fans will always rather take Xavi, meh results BUT nice play and relying on La Masia AS LONG as there is some hope that longterm we'll get some sort of replica of a holy grail = Pep's football from 2008-2011.
EV just never stood any chance for majority of our fans because he never evoked any of those Pep's memories or resemblances.
The same analogy is: remember the unreal hype/emotions regarding Arthur when we signed him.
Why?
= he brought the hope that he can bring back the feeling from Pep's era.
For the same reason, a lot of fans are still hooked on Puig, even though he is dogshit.
But some of his moves plus being from La Masia bring back the emotions and memories from Pep's era.
Our club/fanbase is extremely weird in that sense
Imo, that will be the reason which will ruin us in the future, but let's see.
