WHAT’S HAPPENING?! KOEMAN – OUT! BARCELONA TO APPOINT XAVI?! Laporta will announce a new coach!
Barcelona and Koeman: What’s going on
Diario AS, Mundo Deportivo, Fabricio Romano
The Barcelona board continues to think about Barca head coach Ronald Koeman’s dismissal. According to Diario As journalist Javi Miguel, the Dutchman is doomed as Barca president Joan Laporta is going to fire him for unsatisfactory results in any case, but at the same time, he will be denying it in the next few weeks until he finds a fitting replacement.
One of the main contenders for Koeman’s place is Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez, who’s currently working as a head coach in Qatari Al-Sadd. However, Mundo Deportivo informs that the Spaniard cannot just go and sign for Barca as he lost that option after the re-signing of the contract with the Qatari club.
The previously mentioned Javi Miguel anyway insists that the clause in Xavi’s agreement with Al-Sadd is still valid, but it applies exclusively to Barcelona. For this, the Blaugranas will only need to pay a modest symbolic amount.
So far, there’s not a lot of news about other contenders for this position. Journalist Fabrizio Romano denies the Catalans’ interest in former Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo, as well as former Inter manager Antonio Conte, while Mundo Deportivo reports only about their interest in Thierry Henry. Other famous names do not appear in the media at the moment.

As for now, the first team will be headed by Sergi Barjuan, the Barça-B coach.

MBAPPE PROTESTS AGAINST MESSI AND PSG AGAIN! Kylian doesn’t listen to Leo and wants to go to Real!
Mbappe has improved relations with Messi, but will still leave PSG
Marca
At the same time, an important information popped up from the newspaper Marca: PSG will continue to put pressure on Kylian Mbappe for renewing his expiring contract, though the player still has no intention to hear a thing about that.
Mbappe is not considering signing a new deal with PSG and is more determined than ever to join Real Madrid in 2022.
Even the attacking trio that Kylian forms alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar doesn’t change anything at all.
Moreover, the joint photo of the Frenchman, Argentinian and Brazilian, which spread all over the Internet after PSG’s victory over Manchester City, could mean that Mbappe is starting to change his mind, going towards the Parisian club’s needs, but in fact it was a euphoria for a moment, the source emphasizes.
Mbappe has actually established relations with Messi and Neymar, but he still has no plans to join forces with the Latin American clan within the team. Kylian only looks towards the option with Real Madrid.
Saturday Matches Review
Let’s start with a quick rewind of Saturday’s games! Manchester United still struggles to win in the Premier League. The Red Devils shared points with Everton at Old Trafford – 1: 1.
Meanwhile, Chelsea withstanded Southampton at Stamford Bridge – 3: 1.
We are also to highlight the victories of Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig. The hornets won 2: 1 against Augsburg, while the bulls defeated Bochum in an away game with 0: 3.
Next up we have Serie A. Here Juventus and Inter took three points each. The Old Lady proved to be stronger than Torino in the derby – 0: 1. Nerazzurri, in turn, outplayed Sassuolo with a result of 1: 2.
The most anticipated match of the evening took place in La Liga, although there was almost no intrigue on the pitch. Some might even say that Atlético got an easy victory over Barcelona with 2-0 thanks to the efforts from Thomas Lemar and Luis Suarez.
Having scored against the former club, El Pistolero decided to simulate a phone call, searching for the blaugranas head coach, Ronald Koeman, who was serving a suspension in the stands and covering his face in shame.
It is assumed that Suarez’s gesture was addressed precisely to the Dutch manager, who a year ago kicked Luis out of the club in a phone conversation.
However, the player himself denied that in a post-match interview.
“My gesture was not addressed to Koeman – it was for the people who know that I have the same number and that I am still using the same phone. I had been joking with my children that I would do that, ”said Suarez.
Yeah, that’s exactly what you meant by that, Luis! That’s for sure!

PSG SHOCKED MESSI AND NEYMAR BY BUYING HAALAND? PIRLO IS THE NEXT BARCELONA MANAGER?! Football News
PSG GOES FOR HAALAND
La Gazzetta Dello Sport
PSG seriously claims the forward of Borussia Dortmund Erling Haaland, according to La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
The source writes that next summer the Parisians will try to buy the Norwegian in case they do lose Kylian Mbappe.
The Parisians are already preparing funds for Haaland and are confident that they will provide the amount of 75 million euros in compensation prescribed in Erling’s contract with Borussia.
What’s important, a great plus for a big club from France is an excellent relationship between the sporting director of the club Leonardo and Haaland’s agent Mino Raiola.
By the way, requests from the player’s representative are increasing every day! An update from Football Italia says that recently Raiola decided to demand a salary of 50 million euros per season for his client, instead of the 30 million set a few months earlier.
Although, even this amount will not scare off PSG. The Red and Blues expect that they will have no competitors in the battle for the Norwegian forward.
Initially, the club was afraid to compete with Real, but now the leadership of the Parisians is convinced of Madrid directing all resources to the signing of Mbappe and putting the option with Haaland aside.
LAPORTA WANTS TO SEE PIRLO AT BARCELONA
Gerard Romero, Cadena SER, Cadena Cope, Diario AS
Next up we have a fresh update from Catalan journalist Gerard Romero on the next Barcelona manager. An insider found out that Blaugranas’ President Joan Laporta is going to appoint Andrea Pirlo, replacing Ronald Koeman, though other people in the leadership are no supporters of the Italian’s candidacy.
“Pirlo is a personal bet of Joan Laporta. The Blaugrana president feels he has the gift of discovering the coaches and is thinking about it seriously.”
“The management, however, says they have better options on the table for the Barcelona bench. Laporta reflects on Pirlo but does not have the support of sports directors and technicians,” wrote Romero.
Even more information in favor of Pirlo is given by the publishers of Cadena SER and Cadena Copé. The first source states that Barcelona is definitely not negotiating with the head coach of the Belgian national team Roberto Martinez, while the second excludes the River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo, whose name appeared in Spanish newspapers lately, from Laporta’s list.
And here is a piece from Diario As: Barça has established contact with Andrea Pirlo, already making an official offer. It is already on the table, but the former Juventus coach took time to think a bit.
Koeman gets angry at critics during press-conference
Well, it appears Ronald Koeman is losing his temper! So far, the Barcelona manager held a press conference before the game against Atlético and had a say on what he thinks of the criticism in his address.
“Sacking? The club have said nothing to me. I’ve learned that the president was at the training ground this morning, but I have not seen him. Even though he didn’t tell me anything, I have eyes and ears. I’m tired of defending myself, it still doesn’t make sense. One day I would like to talk about everything I think!»
“You are asking what kind of relationship I am with the president? I am not going to answer that question. Are they showing disrespect to me? I don’t think it is necessary to answer that either. »
“I don’t know what another coach can do in my place. Should I speculate on this topic? Nothing will change in the line-up until winter. »
“If I had a bag of money, Lionel Messi would still be on our team and I would invite other players to play in a more dominant style. But now I need to work with what we have,” concluded Koeman.
Solskjaer to change Man.Utd’s tactics after Ronaldo’s advice?
ESPN
Looks like Cristiano Ronaldo is soon to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the head of Manchester United! This feeling came after the news from ESPN that the Norwegian manager had a meeting with the Portuguese, where they discussed the red devils’ tactics.
According to the source, Ronaldo talked to Solskjaer and his coaching staff, providing some tips aimed at increasing the team’s speed in the opposition half of the pitch.
Cristiano believes that his teammates should move the ball faster when attacking, and he, in turn, will be determined to score even more often, bringing maximum benefit to United.
It is noted that Solskjaer thoroughly listened to Ronaldo and has already made some changes to the training process.
