Written by Olaleye Oluwadamilola

Sporting Director Deco is one of the people tasked with helping Barcelona improve the dismal form and aimless play that have plagued them for several months. The team is making every effort to improve. Deco has to an understanding with President Joan Laporta that he need to be more involved in supporting the club, assisting manager Xavi Hernandez, and collaborating with him more closely.

Catalunya Radio said on Thursday afternoon that Laporta and Deco are worried about the situation on the side as it is and Joan Fontes have added to this knowledge, revealing that Deco wishes to assist by “pressuring” and “asking” senior star Ilkay Gundogan, among other things. He hasn’t done as well as expected, without being impoverished, and he hasn’t been the leader Xavi needed.

Fontes continues by stating that Xavi believes Gundogan has been influenced by Robert Lewandowski, a fellow German speaker who appears to be losing faith in the Catalan coach.
