Barcelona looks really down because compared to Real Madrid, this is unfair for the Barcelona team with all the problems they are facing, now Barcelona is improving with all the effort and strength they have and Barcelona management's decision to bring in a new coach is proof.
Hansi Flick is an experienced coach so we cannot underestimate Hansi Flick in building Barcelona, everything takes time and a process for Barcelona to return to a fierce competition with Real Madrid and make their team equal again in the top flight.
It's not enough just to bring in a coach, but if Barcelona still can't improve its finances then what will Hansi Flick do with the current Barcelona squad? Hansi Flick also has his own criteria regarding which players he wants and must be able to meet his expectations in order to be able to compete with rivals Real Madrid, whose condition in terms of quality and quantity is much better. If the situation remains the same without any changes, Barcelona will stagnate even if they change coaches. You know that Laporta is saving money in terms of buying players. The option is to sell the existing stock of players, and it is necessary to sell players whose price range is quite expensive.
Barcelona is no longer able to be a rival to Real Madrid, no matter Barcelona's efforts to bring in the new coach. Because of course, if Barcelona still has financial problems then of course Barcelona will still be difficult to have better performance and results than Real Madrid. So anyway, even though Barcelona managed to recruit Hansi Flick as their new manager but still, there is no guarantee that Barcelona will have good results. Maybe,Barcelona hopes that Hansi Flick will succeed in making Barcelona have a chance to get a trophy next season but for me, Barcelona will still find it difficult to get a trophy even though they may only be targeting getting the Copa Del Rey trophy.
You're absolutely right, it's only a matter of time before Barcelona competes with Real Madrid. However, the Barcelona club is now very struggling as they have been going through financial problems for a long time. A good and skilled coach needs a lot of money. According to the current situation of Barcelona, I think it is very important for Barcelona to have a maximum effort for an experienced coach. So that Barcelona can return to form next season and maintain their reputation among football lovers
