I have to win more individual matches.
It was a shame that Barça’s improvement against Valencia was not reflected on the scoreboard. Of all the things going on this season, my least favorite detail is pretty obvious. Off the field, I don’t think it’s fair for people at the highest level of the club to say twice a week that they trust the coach. Because if that message is repeated too often, it usually ends up creating the exact opposite effect. The most disturbing thing about what happens on the field is that we keep tripping over the same rocks. A lot of games, the last game in Antwerp, and at the beginning of the game there was a goal or a noisy chance for the opponent. Valencia. Another issue that caught my attention and could definitely be improved has to do with personal dueling. In football, you often get a very simple explanation. You can put a lot of effort into developing game ideas in advance, but in the end, if the players on the pitch don’t make second plays, they’ll make second plays. They may not arrive even a second faster than their rivals, or they may not work as seriously and with more conviction than their opponents who say, “Ja is the one who started the race.” Generally, with the following exceptions: Araujo, there’s a lot more lack of individual positivity, especially from people who should be valuable like defenders. I was thinking while watching some recent matches. Puyolstill migelistill galician Or not yet coast In an ownerless ball, often won by pure desire.
The need to increase individual proactiveness in each action seems urgent to me as I aim to improve the overall performance of my team. Tactically speaking, I think what was best for this Barça team was to deploy personnel in midfield to prevent the game from becoming a roadrunner, a plan that usually favors their rivals. At the Mestalla, it was disappointing to see Valencia equalize on their first and only chance. At 0-1, Barça could have prevented the situation. But it’s missing the partridge’s giddiness, which has been criticized recently and which I also covet.
Champions League, more likely than League
It’s true that a series of bad days could mean you miss out on the Champions League, but that applies to everyone. Therefore, given that the league currently has a much larger point difference and even more rivals above it, Barça’s ability to survive in the European competition, even if they wanted to win the league, means that the league itself I think it’s more achievable. Well, everything from a rival at a crossroads to game-day inspiration to a particular piece of luck has to come to light. But I don’t think you really need to give up on your dreams of achieving something big. To do this, you first need to believe in it, then avoid giveaways, and convince yourself that you can achieve great results in very few matches in the final tournament, regardless of whether you are the favorite or not.

Reigning Formula 1 world champion Lando Norris has been warned by his championship mate about the expectations his new status at McLaren will bring.
After his 2025 championship, Norris will start the 2026 season as world champion. The British driver will be the first McLaren driver to try to defend his title since Lewis Hamilton.
Damon Hill, who won the 1996 championship, recalled the mounting pressure. According to him, champion authority does not always mean a real advantage within the team.
“I think the team has confidence in both drivers (Norris and Piastri). But when you become world champion, you are automatically treated differently; there is additional authority,” Hill explained.
“When I moved from Williams to Arrows, the team said: ‘We have a world champion.’ They thought I knew something special. But that authority is sometimes exaggerated. I didn’t know everything and I certainly didn’t know how to design cars.”
Hill emphasized that the true power of a champion lies not in technical knowledge but in leadership and team interaction.
“I worked with experts like Patrick Head and Adrian Newey; they were the ones who knew where to go. And the driver’s role is to be a leader and inspire the team,” Hill concluded.
