In recent months, FC Barcelona has experienced several major departures. Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba thus packed their bags, ending their careers for the first, heading towards Miami for the other two. Departures perhaps not so important on a sporting level insofar as the three were at the end, but which weigh in the locker room where they were major players. We can also add a player like Ousmane Dembélé who, if he was not one of the leaders, was very appreciated and close to the young people.
Daily life Relevo takes stock of the many changes in the Catalan locker room, and reveals who the new leaders of FC Barcelona are, while the official captains are Sergi Roberto, Marc-André ter Stegen, Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo. First of all, the media evokes a very united and rather healthy locker room. The newspaper, which relies on internal sources, describes a group that is very easy to manage, without big characters or ego problems. A blessing for a Xavi who prefers to focus on the tactical aspect rather than individual management.
A very healthy locker room
We learn that the team spokesperson is none other than captain number 1 Sergi Roberto. It is he who reports the various problems faced by the players to the staff, and acts as an intermediary between the two parties. He is also the one who is responsible for negotiating rest days, for example. Robert Lewandowski is not one of the captains, but is one of the captains and leaders. A very expressive and frank player with partners, he behaves like a boss, gets along well with everyone and does not hesitate to discuss with his partners, whatever their status.
Gavi, despite his young age, has also gained weight in the locker room in recent months. He has notably taken several other young people like Fermin Lopez under his wing, and does not hesitate to help and support them to facilitate their integration. The newspaper specifies that there are far fewer clans than at a time not so long ago. A good general atmosphere to which Xavi is no stranger, who does not hesitate to set up rather fun games in training to create a group. And it translates on the ground!
