I am quite excited by what I have read about “Tata” and he might just bring back the spring in step in the Barcelona’s players that was missing last season.

Against the weaker teams, FC Barcelona have enough in their offensive firepower to hide their defensive frailties, but against the big teams, Martino needs to get his tactics right to get a delicate balance between attack and defence. They surely can’t expect Messi to bail them out every time.
