Barcelona's suffering increases with the passage of days, and after his problem in failure in the European championships evolved to include local championships, where he lost the Spanish Super Cup early this year and approached losing his favorite title in recent years as a La Liga champion.
Barcelona's suffering started in 2018 with its former coach Ernesto Valverde when he bid farewell to the Champions League from the quarter-finals after his humiliating 3-0 loss to Roma in the second leg.
The suffering was exacerbated when Barcelona knocked out last year in the Champions League semi-finals in a humiliating way, after losing 4-0 to Liverpool, who were crowned after the title.
The defeat of Barcelona against Atletico Madrid 3-2 early this year and his exit from the Spanish Super Cup semi-final, was "the straw that broke the camel's back" for Valverde, who was dismissed from his post.

In an attempt to understand the truth about the Barcelona crisis, was it caused by the poor level of coaches or the level of the stars of the team led by Argentine Lionel Messi?
We asked three coaches with this question.
Sami Trabelsi, the current coach of the Qatari club Al-Sailiya and the former Tunisian national team, believes that the great crisis of Barcelona team in the quality of the current players, as the club was unable to compensate for the departure of some big players such as Iniesta and Neymar, which ended the phenomenon of Tiki Taka (short passes) that characterized the Blaugrana since Many years.

"It exacerbates the Barcelona crisis that the coaches who finally trained the team are not graduates of the Blaugrana School, which was characterized by high technical skills and possession of the ball, which put the team between two fires, the fire of technically weak players and the fire of the coach is not Tactically appropriate. "
While Hisham Al-Zahid, the Qatari national team player and Al Sadd coach previously, believes that Barcelona is the main crisis in the coaches, indicating his words that the strength of the Barcelona team has not changed much in the last two seasons, however the performance and results of the team are declining.
Al-Zahid said to Al-Jazeera Net that Sittin might be wronged, because there is a lack of response and clear harmony between his ideas and the players âperformance, and that he loses contact with the players over the days despite being a coach with a name in Spain.
Al-Zahid added that Barcelonaâs philosophy was rooted decades ago when the late Dutch legend Johan Cruyff took over the teamâs training and created a new mix between Dutch and Spanish football, all coaches followed him and even the former coach Valverde who achieved many championships and it was wrong to change it.
As for the AFC Coach and Lecturer, Wissam Shamil, he has a special point of view, as he told Al Jazeera Net that the cause of the crisis is all elements of players and coaches in addition to the clubâs management as well.
Shamel explains his view that the Barcelona administration did not finally attract the quality of coaches whose ideas are appropriate to the teamâs playing style, and that some of the main players are not at the level of the team with huge popularity globally and not only in Spain, and the clubâs management failed to compensate for the weaknesses with new deals consistent with With the nature of the teamâs performance, most notably the deal of the French star Antoine Griezmann, who cost the club treasury a large sum, and now he sits in reserve because his method does not fit Barcelonaâs style.

Shamel pointed out that the coachâs personality has a big role as well, stressing that only a senior coach by weight Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola can persuade the big stars of the team like Messi and Suarez with his ideas, which did not happen with Sittin who is losing control. On the team over the days.
