BARCELONA – Presidential candidate Barcelona, Jordi Ferre, made promises ahead of the presidential elections Blaugrana – nicknamed Barcelona – on March 15, 2021. If later elected, the man who had nominated for the same office in 2015 promised to bring Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp, to the Estadio Camp Nou.
“If Koeman (Barcelona coach) does well, I will continue his tenure. However, we already spoke with Klopp. Because, in my opinion Barcelona needs a coach like Klopp, “Jordi Ferre quoted him as saying Sport, Monday (24/8/2020).

Currently, Klopp is still under contract with Liverpool until 30 June 2024. However, since Klopp has won a number of prestigious trophies with Liverpool such as the English League, Champions League, European Super Cup to the Club World Cup, Klopp could have left Anfield Stadium on summer 2021.
If Klopp does handle Barcelona, what pattern does the German coach use? Klopp is known as a 4-3-3 coach. The pattern can be transformed into 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-3.
It just so happens that in the last two decades, Barcelona are also familiar with the 4-3-3 pattern. Since being handled by Frank Rijkaard, Josep Guardiola, Tito Villanova, Gerard Martino, Luis Enrique, Ernesto Valverde to Quique Setien, Barcelona have always played in a 4-3-3 pattern.

A similar pattern will also be used by Barcelona’s new tactician Ronald Koeman. Therefore, if he really handles Barcelona, Klopp does not need to bother giving Lionel Messi and his friends an understanding of the 4-3-3 formation pattern, considering that they already understand the system very well.
