Xavi is heavily questioned at FC Barcelona and Laporta wants De Zerbi to be used as a substitute at the Catalan club
Roberto De Zerbi is the fashionable coach in European football. The Italian coach has been blessed by Guardiola in England this season. Something that has not gone unnoticed at FC Barcelona regarding the future of the Catalan club. Laporta is not happy with Xavi, Fans don't understand the message from the team's number 8 and patience is running out.
For this reason, there are several names floating around as the culé ship sinks. Although many options like Arteta fit the club's future, the truth is that few names have real options. Among these names, De Zerbi stands out, the young transalpine coach surprises in the Premier League. He requested the loan of Ansu Fati and declared himself an unconditional football fan who practices a profligate son like Guardiola.
De Zerbi would not put any obstacles in the way of FC Barcelona's arrival
FC Barcelona football is an influence for the Italian. The coach recognized this on various occasions and so he put it into practice at a club as modest as Brighton. Where He defeated the greats of England in a very attractive game. Therefore, the potential that De Zerbi shows fits well into the future if Xavi ultimately fails.
Laporta constantly supports Xavi. Surely that is the least he can do after going to Qatar to look for the former Blaugrana midfielder and after winning the championship. Furthermore, the good relationship that exists between the two is public and it is not an easy situation to deal with. But The truth is that results are crucial and the club must be prepared when a decision has to be made at the end of the season.
Thiago Motta likes it at the club
At some point the paths between FC Barcelona and Thiago Motta seem to cross. The club sees great potential in the former midfielder and wanted to recruit him for the team's grassroots football.. Finally, Motta decided to go to Paris to start his journey on the bench and let the future decide when he wanted to take both paths.
The performance that Rafa Márquez delivers is not convincing and Motta could be a solution for the future. Another option considered at the time was to add him to the technical staff as a second coach. and therefore be a future solution for the bank. A similar model to that of Tito Vilanova and Guardiola in the golden era of the culé club.
