Can Barcelona Replicate Spain’s Success?
As the football world continues to evolve, one question on everyone’s mind is whether Barcelona can replicate the success of the Spanish national team. With a rich history of producing talented players and dominating the beautiful game, the Blaugrana faithful are eager to see their team reclaim its status as a global powerhouse.
In an exclusive interview with 90min, Ramón Calderé, a former Barcelona player, shared his thoughts on the matter. Calderé, who played for the club in the 1970s and 1980s, believes that the key to success lies in finding the right balance between youth and experience.
The Importance of Balance
According to Calderé, Barcelona needs to find a balance between young talent and experienced players. "You need to find a way to bring in players like Nico Williams and Dani Olmo, while also giving opportunities to the youth," he said. "The Portuguese players, in my opinion, are surplus to requirements. I wouldn’t spend a euro on them."
Surplus to Requirements
Calderé’s comments sparked controversy, with many fans defending the Portuguese trio of Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and João Félix. However, the former midfielder stands by his opinion, stating that there are better options available within the club’s academy.
Advice for Joan Laporta
When asked for advice for Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, Calderé had a simple message: "No se vende el club. Don’t sell the club." He also emphasized the importance of giving sporting director Deco the support he needs, suggesting that Jordi Cruyff would be an ideal partner.
Conclusion
As Barcelona looks to rebuild and reclaim its status as a global powerhouse, the club’s fans are eager to see what the future holds. With Calderé’s advice in mind, it’s clear that the key to success lies in finding the right balance between youth and experience, while also making smart decisions in the transfer market.
