Barca:A season to forget- Holding midfielder

THE PLAYERS-


1. Sergio Busquets- A starter until he ceases to play, Busquets still amazes with his touch of magic. Every match he plays, he brings that quickness in passing and determination to circulate the ball actively, towards the opposite goal. But he is old now (32 y/o) and no one can say him anything if his level drops. He has earned that, just like Iniesta and Xavi. And we may have a worthy successor.

2. Frenkie De Jong- Yes, he has had a difficult first season. His performance has dropped. But playing for Barcelona is different to playing for Ajax. Also, he has played well on various occasions, some ten on ten performances, so he is starting to advance and according to me, this position is done and dusted. When Busquets decides to hang up his boots, frenkie will automatically fill into them. By then, De Jong would have learned many tricks from Busquets.

3. Miralem Pjanic- He is going to be with Barcelona next season, and he plays at a position very important to Barcelona. So, naturally, being blamed and hated as ' Cause of Arthur's departure' he won't have the fans on his side. This will result in drop in his performances. He will most likely be loaned but if he stays, he will be a bench-warmer. He may get a few starts here and there, but mostly one of those two(or both of them) will start.

Conclusion- I think the way Sergio Busquets has served Barcelona, he deserves the starting position. De Jong is definitely capable of filling that gap when he goes.

My Top Ten: Total Fiction- Three

No. 3. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn Series by Mark Twain          The great American novels. The novels, set in and 'round Mississippi river, and the state of course, for all but one novel, are a jewel to read. They are humorous, rich and enjoyable. Truly one of the greatest American novels.          Plot- A painstakingly simple plot for each novel, woven around a million subplots, adding humor and there you have it. But, it is not that easy. To find the right subplot, to find the best position to add humor, even to decide on jokes, is hard. It's not that easy to satisfy neysayers and these novels have done just that.          Characters- I wasn't born in the U.S.A. and I do not know how the kids there are. But, if their lif can be this adventurous, count me in ! Mark Twain creates a bond so tight that I must believe whatever he writes. Tom steals a hot air balloon, of course he can do that.    ...

Barca: A season to forget- Left Wing/ Midfielder

THE PLAYERS- I am not considering Coutinho and Griezmann Left Wingers. 1. Ansu Fati- An  astoundingly ridiculous revelation this season, Ansu Fati will surely be a major part any success we are * hoping * for. His speed and aggressiveness is always channeled and timed well. He can create something out of very little. This is the quality we were craving for, and we have got it in the form of Ansu.  2. Pedri- I know, he is not a first team member just yet, but that is not to say he won't recieve first time action. I think when Ansu needs rest, Pedri should get some starts against less physical sides like Villarreal. Conclusion- After two seasons after Neymar left, we finally have two very good wingers on both flanks. This is definitely good !

My Top Ten: Total Fiction- Four

No. 4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.  Yeah, it is not in my top three. I am disappointed too, but I can assure you, I like this book very much, it is just that I like three books more. It is Paulo Coelho's best work by far and understandably. According to him, it is based on Wisdom. It is more about dreams and how to chase them. Plot- A boy has had a dream, there is a treasure below the pyramids in Egypt and he sets off to find it. Oh, how simple that seems and yet I have barely seen a novel more difficult to get the true essence. His journey is filled with extra-ordinary coincidences and incidents, making the journey adventurous and also giving a scope for some wisdom to be shared. A book like no other, This is the first book I'd recommend to instill a reading habit.  Characters- Santiago....Melchizedek....the alchemist....the shopkeeper.... all of these characters have a separate soul. A person we could identify, not one we could relate with the author in any way. This is a...
