Schuster would like Sampaoli as a Luis Enrique replacement
What’s going on at Barcelona? “They are losing football in their most important area of the pitch, in the midfield"
Bernd Schuster is sure. Jorge Sampaoli is the ideal candidate to replace Luis Enrique on Barcelona’s bench if the Asturian does not stay at Camp Nou.
He said it on the TV show El Chiringuito, where e also spoke about Barcelona’s problems and said ‘I think it’s very hard’ for them to come back against PSG in the Champions League.
What’s going on at Barcelona? “They are losing football in their most important area of the pitch, in the midfield. Before they had Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta, who are total football. Now Madrid have done better there, they have more options.”
Asked if Sampaoli could capture Barcelona’s philosophy, he added: “I think so, yes”, adding: “Sampaoli is very intense, he lives football, I like what he’s doing with the team and how he plays. He’s come to Spain and been good, and he has something with the players.”
