But we cannot consider Barcelona's current squad as weak. Barcelona have a lot of talented players in their squad. Most of the players in Barcelona's squad next season will be young. Hansi Flick will build a youth-oriented Barcelona squad. If Hansi Flick can succeed then there is no doubt that Barcelona will perform well next season and compete for the title. But turning these young players into veterans is not an easy task. Looking forward to see if Hansi FLick succeeds. Hansi Flick is an experienced coach. So hopefully with the help of Hansi Flick, Barcelona will do well next season.
I think Hansi Flick has made a good decision by choosing to develop young players. It won't be instant and will be a process over several seasons but I think the results will be worth it. Barcelona has many world-class young players. They have Yamal, Gavi and Pedri who have a winning mentality. Barcelona is also trying to recruit Nico Williams and Olmo. If successful, it will make their squad worthy of competing with Real Madrid this season.
La Masia players have saved Barcelona many times in the past. And Barcelona fans are hoping that La Masia will save Barcelona once again.
The main reason why Barcelona hired Hansi Flick as their coach is to develop young players with more experience. Xavi was a good enough coach. But Xavi does not have the experience to work with young players. This is probably why the Barcelona management fired Xavi.
Barcelona are now in a financial crisis. So Barcelona can't buy players at high prices now. At the same time Barcelona management failed to pay high wages to the players. So now Barcelona are planning for the long term. Barcelona will work on their young players. Barcelona have a lot of talented young players in their squad. When these players become somewhat experienced, the overall situation of Barcelona will change.
