After a start of century plagado of successes, the FC Barcelona faces the first pothole after one of the most successful stages of his history. The Barcelona group does not want to move away of the titles and that's why it has brought to Ernesto Valverde that it has to begin a gradual remodeling. The team keeps a lot of good things, but between his tasks are to correct errors and guarantee a competitive and durable staff, that can follow reigning in the old continent during a lot of years.

His mission does not go to be at all simple, first by the very high level of the teams Champions and second because it could carry by in front to some of the current tenants of the changing room.

Of the hand of Valverde expects that some young like Denis Suárez or Lucas Digne increase his performance in a season in which the team will be again under the focuses.

Iniesta, an exceptional case

Although he same confessed to feel very calm and affirmed that his intention always has been to withdraw in the Barça, Andrés Iniesta follows wrapped in doubts by an agreement that expires in June of 2018 and that still has not seated to renew.

It expects that during the season was the own manchego the one who evaluate his possibilities and sincere with the club, deciding until where will arrive his path like Barcelona. In spite of not to treat of a reválida, this course yes could present like the principle of the end of the career of the of Fuentealbilla, that although it ensured that they remain him several years more than football could be near to hang the boots. Only the time will say it.
