Will Ronald Koeman be a success at FC Barcelona?

I think “Yess”, he will be successful at FC Barcelona but he needs time to implement what he actually want, the beautiful attacking football which we as a Barcelona fans are missing.

As for now at the time i am writing this answer Barcelona has played two of their laliga game and it's seems like there is hell a lot of difference can be seen in different aspects of the game like zonal press, retaining ball very quickly from opposition, quick in transition, discipline in defence, players are understanding thier part of role.

I know it's very early to say that everything has changed but i can say that team is pretty much motivated and wanted to give everything on the field, this is something which should be fundamentally inbuilt in players brain.

This is just another example how this team has performed in last two games and the friendlies.

Against Celta Vigo, We were 1 man down as Lenglet picking up a controversial red card which I'm not sure that was and playing with 10 players knowing that how past half decade had been for them on this Balaidos Stadium, Barcelona had not secured any win in past half decade on this cursed stadium.

Barcelona with 10 players were not ready to give up they further fought and pressed excellently and with a very quick transition they were able to secure goals and at last Barca won 3–0.

This will give you a clear idea how hungry they are ryt now. Barca were 2–0 up at that time but at 94th min just look and count how many Barca players are there in the box, in 94th min with two goals up they should have easily let that go but they didn't, these many Barca players in the box shows that what exactly Koeman has changed.

I will still remain on the fact that it's just 2 games and very early to judge him and his tactics, but for sure it's a great sign.

Hope you liked the analysis.

What do Italian football teams need to surpass Juventus and win Serie A?

Short term : Play well. Do it consistently. Have good scouts and responsible transfer policy. Employ a top manager and a few highly experienced Serie A players. Napoli managed to compete for the Scudetto (and nearly win) last season by doing something similar to this. Long term : Completely change the organisational structure and the mentality of those employed in it. Fabio Capello, a manager who has won the title with both Juventus and AS Roma described the difference. He said that when he won with Juventus, the next day he was discussing things with the club management about how to improve for next season. But, when he won it with AS Roma, the whole club was celebrating the victory for months to come. Simply put, Juventus has been rebuilt in an outstandingly secure fashion. Few clubs are organized that way. It’s only natural that their rule on the Serie A will fall at some point, since, frankly, all clubs hit those periods. But, with the way the club has been set up, I expec...

Will Lionel Messi succeed in a physically intensive league like Premier League considering his age?

why on earth would anyone think that he can't perform there. Just look at his statistics he is just too good for Premier league , People who says these kinda rubbish doesn't know football or living in a fairy world , 6 time ballon d'or and 6 time Golden boot doesn't come by mistake . With 22 goals in the Champions League against English clubs, no player can get close to Messi's record. The only other player to have even reached double figures is Messi's great rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who has hit 12 goals in his 17 appearances. Memorably, two of Messi's goals have come in the final itself. The Argentinian struck against United in the 2009 and 2011 finals, helping to down Alex Ferguson's side. While his record against English clubs is now brilliant, this was not always the case - hence the questioning of Messi. He did not score or provide a single assist in his first nine appearances against English opposition. Messi's tally against sides from a sing...

Riqui Puig should leave Barca?

Barcelona team has been revived since the beginning of the year with all of their players returning from injuries. Players such as Pedri Gonzalez, Memphis Depay, and others are fully fit to compete for the Blaugrana. As a result of this factor, Barcelona’s midfield has a plethora of choices. This might pose major problems for Riqui Puig. Nico Gonzalez, Sergio Busquet, Frankie De Jong, Gavi, Pedri, and Riqui Puig. They all will compete for a spot in the midfield trio. Riqui Puig was left out of the starting XI in the last Classico. Moreover, his absence from the bench indicates that Xavi Hernadez does not count on him. The 22-year-old has made six appearances for the Catalan giant this season, contributing zero goals. Several European clubs approached the La Masia graduate during the previous season, including As Roma, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo, and AC Milan. But he turned them all down. He aspired to be a starter and flourish in Barcelona. The Spaniard’s market ...
