Messi is choosing him to be the next manager for us.
The more i read about this guy the more i want him to be the next coach aswell.
We need someone from outside of our system to help this team evolve, with Tito the changes from Pep's era were next to nothing and in the end we suffered because of that. I would be very suprised if the next coach is someone outside of Lucho-Martino duo.
What is so refreshing is the coach and squad are totally committed to the idea of their football, instead of obsessing over results or league position. Before a crucial away match against Boca Juniors this month, Martino dismissed the pressure of the occasion, saying: You have to be consistent, we have played all of our matches with the same intention (
) if that results in us moving up the table a bit, so be it, but our idea is always the same.
Xavi?
Edit: fuck this is perfect for Barca. It's either him or Bielsa. It has to be.
Another theory is that Newells lack a plan B. When protecting a lead or chasing a goal, Martino rarely makes any tactical variations, instead he opts to make like-for-like substitutions to try and freshen things up. This is often perceived as a serious problem, especially when facing the leagues more defensively organised sides.
The idea of a plan B is one that is not compatible with the Bielsa Method. Bielsa believes that a successful system does not need a plan B, and that if any alternative plan proves to be effective, then it should be used as the principal system. This goes back to the fundamental bielsista idea that sometimes the better team just does not win. The better team should not in turn abandon their original approach for the sake of one result, as their results will remain positive in the long run.
