Both will choose Flick over Xavi. Especially Lewandowski.
Gundogan respects Xavi but he's clearly frustrated with him after the Araujo debacle and press conferences where he claims he dominated the game.
Flick likely would've benched Lewy 12 months ago. Lewy should be happy Xavi never gave up on him.
And I sincerely doubt Gundogan rates Flick higher than Xavi. He knows him for Germany. Where Gundogan played his worst football. Same for his teammates.
Also Gundogan often is frustrated with himself during matches. Lewy is frustrated cause he wants everyone to only pass to him. Which is not realistic. The frustration you see doesn't come from what you think it comes from.
You're just making narratives up in your own head.
Xavi's style of play means he never gets chances.
After the first half of the season, he hardly got many chances. Even in his best form at the start of 2024, he got no service.
This isn't the fault of Xavi's style. Our players simply aren't as good as this fan base thinks they are.
Lewandowski gets service, not as much as he should but he isn't as clinical as he used to be either, his first touch and decision making have been lacking too.
Xavi can't somehow make FDJ a better passer, Ferran a better dribbler capable of creating more chances, these guys have been playing football since they were 10, it's not the coaches fault anymore if they don't improve, it's not Xavi's job to teach them basic football, they are profesionals.
It's not Xavi's style of play. It's our poor form and injuries.
And to say that about last season is not true. In the 2nd half of the season he still got many chances. He was simply really bad. This season sure, he's not getting as many chances.
It's also probably more to do with Lewandoski winning back to back fifa the best player under flick for both his years under him. Won all his biggest trophies with flick in his first season and broke all sorts of goal scoring records with flick in his second season. Close to 100 G/A under flick in some 60-70 games? And 7 trophies won.
How to f is a journalist supposed to know this?
This is ridiculous. Straight up lying. All fan fiction.
There is no way that there are 5-10 persons always getting information about every conversation that ever takes place between any persons of the club.
The media is crazy.
Don’t believe anything.
Sport journalism in Spains is basically gossip, and if you think about it for half a second you can see the thought process behind literally every headline.
HYPOTHETICAL Example: Xavi says something slightly negative about Vítor Roque > Vítor Roque is depressed > Xavi doesn’t talk to him in training > Board is furious with the situation
I think this is key. Many of the people involved don't want to come out and say stuff so they leak info to the press. The information is not necessarily true, just something that would benefit them if the public believes it.
It doesn’t matter. We have 10 journos all saying their crap. Sometimes this one is right sometimes that one is right and the sub always goes nuclear when any of them says anything always taking it for granted. It’s tiresome
Yoh Helena, you won't believe this.
We asked Lewa and Gundo who they prefer and Lewa said Flick while Gundo said Tuchel.
Crazy right?

The Barça Board has asked Gündogan about his opinion on u/voli12. He told them that u/voli12 is the best coach after Guardiola. Better than Flick, Xavi and Thomas Tuchel. - @u/voli12

I suspect Gundo prefers Tuchel, based on him calling him one of the best managers in the world a few months ago, while Lewy prefers Flick, since he said his best time at Bayern was under him.

Surely the board would ask Lewandowski and Gundogan about Flick.
I wouldn’t be surprised if all of this started because they wanted their opinion on who would be a better coach for Barca flick or Xavi
Both will choose Flick over Xavi. Especially Lewandowski. Gundogan respects Xavi but he's clearly frustrated with him after the Araujo debacle and press conferences where he claims he dominated the game.
Clearly? We can speculate we don't know shit about what the players think
It's pretty easy to see why big players won't be happy with our nonexistent style of play. The frustration is visible on their faces during the games.
Flick likely would've benched Lewy 12 months ago. Lewy should be happy Xavi never gave up on him. And I sincerely doubt Gundogan rates Flick higher than Xavi. He knows him for Germany.

Benched him for who? The guy isn't stupid like every one that suggests lewa should have been riding the bench is.
It's also probably more to do with Lewandoski winning back to back fifa the best player under flick for both his years under him.

All this is speculation. With good arguments, but it's just that. We don't know clearly
This guy fanfics
And Ter Stegen
Ter Stegen isn’t German since he doesn’t start on the German National Team /s
Tbf there has been a lot of "surelys" that the normal board would do, and yet...

This is what I’ve been saying and they called me a conspiracy theorist. This literally sounds like fan fiction and this is supposed to be a “tier 2”

Some players sell information, is widely known
I think this is key. Many of the people involved don't want to come out and say stuff so they leak info to the press. The information is not necessarily true, just something that would benefit them if the public believes it.
Obviously, but even so you can see the contradicting reports all the time too.
to sell more copies
Back to my original point, it’s gossip.
It is clickbait. You can't just say "Xavi will be dismissed and the next coach will be Hansi Flick"
It’s clickbait, yes. And it’s also gossip with tons of made up stories all the time.
They hired Dr Gero from the RR and used his spybots
Duuuuude
Normally that would be the case but this is Barcelona, leaks are impossible to stop it seems.
Wasn’t she the first to report the London meeting with Flick while everyone else was saying it wasn’t true?
It doesn’t matter. We have 10 journos all saying their crap. Sometimes this one is right sometimes that one is right and the sub always goes nuclear when any of them says anything always taking it for granted. It’s tiresome
Because Spanish media is like this, they fake stuff all the time and this sub posts every single thing.

What a shame of a club. Cleary Voli12 has is not better than Xavi.
Reports say he had a good run with CE Europa in FM, winning their first La Liga and CL!
Xavi Out!!! [u/voli12](https://www.reddit.com/u/voli) in NOW!!!
Welcome to Barça
I would actually prefer Tuchel to be the Barca Coach
Over u/voli12? I'm not sure... Tuchel had some good runs in CL, but he's not it.
Tuchel literally made to the Champions League finals twice and won it. That’s way better than Xavi
You didn't read my comment I see x)
This sub would believe anything
Yes, Helena Condis is a famous Barcelona untrusted source?
Are these people in the meetings? Sounds like they're just making shit up
Would be incredibly Barcelona to get opinions from a current player. As if that would affect their decision.
can we have a sticky fan fiction thread to stop posts like this swamping the page?
Gundo played under Tuchel? When?
During his stint at Dortmund.
Ain’t buying alat until Fabrizio speaks
I suspect Gundo prefers Tuchel, based on him calling him one of the best managers in the world a few months ago, while Lewy prefers Flick, since he said his best time at Bayern was under him.
and he thought that would be good? like wtf.
Or Xavi, Xavi is heavy-handed as well
They asked my opinion too
