Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has been open about the necessity of winning titles at the Blaugrana, and frank about his potential departure if that does not happen. Yet he also had some pointed words for his bosses in Catalonia.
Xavi has on a number of occasions said that Barcelona are ‘under construction’ despite being two years into his tenure there. This has drawn plenty of criticism, but looking at his options of the bench during their Copa del Rey defeat to Athletic Club, only Fermin Lopez, Oriol Romeu and Vitor Roque were serious alternatives left out.
“We play with boys, we are in construction, we have a very short squad. It is the beginning of something important, whether I am coaching or not. There is a future,” he noted on a positive to Diario AS.
Xavi had said on multiple occasions that he was proud of how they competed too. There is no doubt that he should be getting more out of the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha when fit, but this year his options feel much fewer than they did last season. Xavi clearly thinks the same, and has made it public in front of his bosses that they have not given him the best chances of success, even if they did their best under the circumstances.
Xavi is focusless and directionless. What matters to him is how to use Barça to boost his CV. No serious manager will boot out Memphis, Adam, Luke deJong, Aubameyang (even tried booting out Frenkie) etc
Retain Sergie Roberto that is meant for the door, brake the treasury to bring in Ferran and Raphinha, consider Oriol as an option out of many, consider undisciplined and inconsistent Portuguese duo as good options. He is a poor manager of the dressing room and too arrogant for the club’s good. His departure is the best solution.
On Aubameyang, Memphis & luke deyong age is not on their side and where are they now and there performance, nobody is a starter in there clubs, even if he is not a good manager I strongly believe that injuries affected his performance araujo, pedri, dejong, Mac ter stegen, raphina, etc all those players are out for more than a month at particular time and in futbol one month 6-7 games we are talking about
You are right sir. I agree with you 100 percent but my problem is why can’t he shout at the guys for a while if they are not performing?
we dont have money
Hold up there all you hopeless beings do is support when winning and criticise when losing and you can’t remember that it is the same Xavi who brought your first league tittle since 2017 and the same person who brought in the robot[Lewanogoalski] and about all those players you called pls who among them is better than lewan or ferran now? Give this club time and watch before criticising. Up city, The sky is always Blue
Indeed his time is over he is not fit for Barcelona. Let him go and coach Almeria
ARE WE SAYING INJURIES IS THE CAUSE OF XAVI FAILURE, LOOK HERE OTHER CLUBS ALSO HAVE INJURED PLAYERS XAVI CAN’T IMPROVE ANY PLAYER, HE’S TACTICS ARE PURE ZERO, HE DOESN’T KNOW WHEN TO MAKE CHANGES HE SHOULD JUST JEJELY LEAVE BARCELONA . LEMME SEE THE BIG CLUB THAT WILL APPOINT HIM
You have to be an utter and through and through i#^&@t if you still support this guy after the failures he put us through. A clueless i%@%!t.
God bless you Emmanuel Akuffo, that is exactly my problem with Xavi
Great player but not the right coach and at the right time. He needed more experience under his belt. Maybe go to a different team and get experience. Maybe maybe come back to Barca
Barcelona style of play does not win game again in the whole world. It is in Barcelona a striker will be one on one with the goalkeeper and will still be looking for who to pass to. Tiki taka era has gone, Xavi should note this. Also he should understand his players better and stop putting round pegs in square holes. The players are not mobile on ground, very sluggish movements. What type of training is he offering? If he is tired, he should give way to Tuchel.
