“More trouble for Xavi with a view to the match against him Benfica. Ilias and Abde they will not be able to play on Tuesday against Benfica. “Just read the information from your teammate Juan Jimenez in these same pages to understand the challenge Xavi faces on the bench of the Barcelona. I imagine him as those kids in American movies, striving to clean up the catastrophic area to which the living room has been reduced after the night party before their parents arrive. The parents here are Benfica, the Champions, the calendar that forces the processes to be accelerated.
Ilias and Abde. The team is so short of football that it already misses even those who have not had time to arrive. “When you get used to lobster then you don’t want rice with mushrooms anymore,” he said. Osvaldo Bagnoli, coach of the Inter in the nineties and, therefore, a man well used to the troubles of football. In those is Xavi. Utilization kitchen. Improvising a good menu with the four things you find scattered around the kitchen. After the fundamental victory in the derby against him Spanish, Xavi was explicit at a press conference regarding the inheritance of Koeman. “We must improve in football. Know how to attack, where to hurt. Know how to differentiate when they are closing on the inside or outside. Attack spaces with good timing. When there is a central ball that is dividing, know how to give it an exit and what other it has to sting … There are many things “. Needless to say, I would send some back to The farmhouse to brush up on the ABCs, but it would have been too hard. Even for one who has come announcing a strong hand to the four winds.
But not everything is pocho in Barcelona. The ray of light that filters through the broken window and illuminates the room has to do with Xavi’s first line-up and with his unequivocal commitment to the attack game. With uneven results, but the coach bets on the extremes. For the football of uncheck and risk. Good news because, except for the goal, there is no better known amphetamine in football than dribbling. In front of the microphones he acknowledged the only thing that bothered him about the victory in the derby: not having bitten Espanyol in his own field when the match was opened too much. He left it there floating and only with that, Barça already breathes a different air.
