FC Barcelona has a plan drawn up in the short, medium and long term. The intention of the Blaugrana team has not changed at all because with the restructuring that Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany are working on in this new Barça, it is expected that the culé entity will return to the top. Recover what has been lost over the years and the very bad previous management.
Despite the injection of different economic strategies, FC Barcelona and especially Xavi know that the fans will not wait long for positive results. In the last transfer window, some top level players such as Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé and Raphinha, arrived in Barcelona, with the sole purpose of exponentially raising the level of the squad. And effectively it has been like that.
Since the beginning of the preseason, those of Xavi have shown to be completely committed to the common cause and everything seemed to be organized, following a strict plan by the coach. The presence of an elite striker like Robert Lewandowski provides a lot of quality and options to a squad that lacked goals. The signings seemed to be paying off and it was quite noticeable. The whole team was plugged in like a well-conducted choir.
However, after the national team break and with a series of important injuries for the optimal functioning of the team, such as those of Ronald Araujo, Jules Koundé, memphis depay, Hector Bellerin Y Frankie de JongXavi’s Barça seems to have lowered the quality of production in recent games.
What is the reason for the drop in quality in Barça’s recent performances?
Many things have come together to be able to blame only one while an analysis is made of what is happening with Barça’s game and why it has not been found lately. Injuries to important players can shake up the plans of any coach and Xavi is definitely no exception, but beyond having an emergency in the club’s infirmary, there seems to be a separation between the coach’s speech and plans, with what happens on the pitch.
The lack of dynamism printed by the protagonists (who are surely thinking about the next major matches throughout all competitions) is apparently quite weak. OROne of the tactical unemployed that most affects Xavi’s men is 5-4-1, where rivals manage to cover interior corridors and at the same time give width to the court and have all the spaces occupied. Xavi must make his players understand that the ball needs to roll as fast as possible in order to assert his position and possession play.
