Xavi’s stage began last weekend, the illusion addressed in the Barcelona fans, after the last moments with Koeman full of bitterness, where not even the players themselves pulled their own pride to get ahead, Xavi was the key that opened the door of oxygen, to return to a Barcelona with Cruyffista DNA, with high pressure, with two wingers opening the field well, a fast ball circulation and above all delusion.
Xavi’s arrival is the first thing he has brought, we saw how the Camp Nou went from 35,000 to 75,000 spectators, it goes without saying that it is not by chance that 40,000 more people will be able to enjoy his team. Xavi is the key that can open all doors, yes, but he needs time. From one day to the next the China Wall did not rise and from one day to the next a team that wins the Champions is not built from scratch, although we remember how last year no one gave a penny for Chelsea in the group stage with Lampard as a coach, and with Tuchel they won the Champions League.
Xavi has clear ideas. Two long wingers that yesterday were Alba and Demir. Three players going to the pressure of the exit of the ball of the rival team as the game begins like Gavi, Nico and Memphis. Two out of the ball like Busquets and De Jong and three centrals with good long displacement and a good ball out, added to the qualities of Ter Stegen. Which was the same against the Spaniard with Mingueza acting as third central when Barcelona attacked to leave the entire right side for Akhomach or Abde. So far so good. But in football it is not worth doing all this well and not scoring a goal, because the goals are the ones that rule.
Who was going to score a goal yesterday at Barcelona? Memphis too far from the area? Alba and Demir? Barcelona has casualties like those of Ansu, Pedri, and a recently recovered Dembélé who in half an hour was the best of Barcelona.
Xavi needs time and he needs a goal. Let Xavi work, he has come to a team in the middle of the season and he has not been able to ask for a transfer or make a sports plan of any kind. Xavi is a football master, the only one who can redirect Barcelona’s situation is him.
