Bruno Saltor, former Spanish footballer and now coach, analyzes the situation at Barça
Understands that demanding excellence at all times is “a lot of pressure”
The moment that Barça is going through is on everyone’s lips, but not everyone who thinks is in the same direction. Bruno Saltor, former Spanish footballer among others of the Espanyol, Almería or Valencia, is now continuing his training to be a coach after his brief stint as Pochettino’s assistant at Chelsea. Saltor has gone through the microphones of RAC1’s ‘Tu Diràs’ to express his particular way of seeing what is happening to Barça.
“Barça is always in search of utopia,” a way of explaining that it seeks the impossible, and that this means “the pressure is great.” And the former footballer understands that “When you win, you want to do it in a landslide, when it’s a landslide, score one more goal, then not get scored… It is the constant search for utopia”, with the added pressure that this entails for everyone who makes up the club.

Despite this, he does believe that “Barça has to generate more, it has to advance, but you have new players, with different references and ways of playing, who must adapt to the system and that takes time,” considers Saltor, who is clear that Xavi will know how to find the solutions: “If it is the right decision, Xavi He will take it, he has shown that he has the capacity and leadership to take it because, in addition, it will be for the good of the group. From the inside,” referring to what a coach does, “what we want is the best for the team“.
