The coach’s honeymoon is over.

He will distribute the veterans and return Messi

Xavi proved in Qatar that he is a small dictator. Hernandez did not take charge of Barcelona earlier, having made a list of requests that Bartomeu rejected. An inexperienced mentor only required. Now Xavi has conflicts with veterans. There was a skirmish with Pique. Relations with Alba and Busquets deteriorate, as veterans see that they will be removed, like Alves.

Gerard can move to Atlético, Jordi to Juventus and Sergio hasn’t decided yet. At the same time, Xavi, as reported by journalists supporting Barcelona, ​​has introduced a new rule. No one can question Hernandez’s personnel and tactical decisions, as Piqué proved. Xavi has no coaching experience and trophies for his decisions to be respected by default.

The mentor plans to disperse the veterans and give orders to the young. But Laporta has a fixed idea: to bring Messi back. Populism, implicated in the enmity of the Catalan and Parisian clubs. The sheikhs are sure that the judge killed them on the day of the famous comeback. They bought its author Neymar for 222 million euros, they took Messi. They tried to recruit Lewandowski.

The hostility is serious. The other day the president PSG Al-Khelaifi questioned the legality of the recent sale of Barcelona’s assets. They don’t want to return Messi, but the veterans purge can also be associated with Lionel. Perhaps the Argentine is offended if he believes that Pique has convinced everyone not to take the maximum reduction in salary to keep Messi.

The rich fight too, but why is Javi a veteran? Laporta wants to please the fans, asks for a bunch of Messi and Lewandowski. But the coach has to think. Theoretically, the current Lionel can become like Muller for Robert. Messi’s return will be answered later world Cup-2022, and Xavi asks for a guarantee that the Argentine will react calmly to the rotation of the composition and to rest.

The cause of the injury could be Xavi’s plan

The coach is tough and strict, it is difficult for him to listen to young and veterans. Kunde said in an interview that he is more comfortable in the center of the defense and not on the right. De Jong does not want to play in defense and purely in the support zone. Rafinha and Dembele, if in the near future they are brought to the lateral position in 3-5-2, they can buck. It is important for Xavi not to overdo it with control.

Hernandez’s staff developed an individual nutrition plan for each player. They introduced mandatory team dinners so that the team did not enter coalitions: young Spaniards, Latin Americans, other legionaries and veterans. This is correct, but you shouldn’t turn Barcelona into a totalitarian sect with leader Xavi. But the tracker has already been released.

Xavi also monitors the players at home, collects data on how much they rest. You cannot come to training later than an hour and a half before the start. And although the coach promised that he would take care of the players’ health, which is directly related to the Winter World Cup, it is possible that the reason for the series of injuries is not in the distraction for the Nationals, but in the methods of the mentor.

Hernandez is maximalist, he already talks about winning the La Liga, even if there is a powerful “Real” of the wise Ancelotti in his rivals. As a result, the Catalans were rounded up in the summer. There is a series of victories in La Liga, they stood out for their mileage and average speed. But humans are not workhorses. Against the background of fatigue, injuries arrived. And that they have been received at the disposal of different teams is a coincidence.

If the club’s games were played at the end of September, Kunde, de Jong, Depay, Bellerin and Araujo could also fly away. The Uruguayan dreamed of playing world Cup-2022, but Xavi has ordered the operation. The Catalan is not interested in the tasks of the Uruguayan national team and the player’s dreams. Yes, it cannot be argued that Araujo had a real chance of avoiding the Finnish surgeon’s scalpel. But the operation shows who is making the rules.

Xavi didn’t let Depay go in the summer, now Memphis has little playing practice. Hernandez communicates a lot with Fati, depressed after complex injuries, but no results. And the coach refused to transfer the player to an inside position closer to Lewandowski to reduce the load. Xavi also said Ansu doesn’t deserve a place in the national team. The teacher doesn’t always have to say everything he thinks.

Hernandez pretends the treasure is full

Laporta has signed players that Barcelona could not afford. Debts go up, the pressure doesn’t ease. The club thought about what would happen if the leadership schemes raised questions from people Uefa? At the end of the season the bills will have to be paid. Xavi can be so hard on straightened needles because the hedgehog is already on the track at night and there is a convoy of trucks ahead.

The tactical work carried out so far, the definition of “untouchables” on the list by ter Stegen, Kunde, Araujo, Pedri, Dembele and Lewandowski, and the statement after the Bayern defeat that Barcelona are no worse, do not cancel the calendar . Today is the first day of October. If the club’s loads and flights led to a number of injuries, later world Cup you can lose half a team.

Xavi proposed to kill the football routine, to change the approach to teams. That is, he believes he has the right to change the entire world of football. We understand that Hernandez always hears praise: Guardiola’s heir, the future champion. But these are dangerous compliments when all is not well in the club, financial security is not ensured and Barcelona are not among the favorites. Champions League.

Also, they will dig under them. The Catalans have angered almost all the giants with a horde of lawyers. First, one president led the club to de facto bankruptcy, and then the second was given a lot so that it didn’t take place de jure. They say sheikhs PSG willing to buy Espanyol just to piss off Laporta. And Messi will have a new contract, if only Lionel does not return to the city that has become his hometown.

Laporta and Xavi are self-confident guys. Perhaps this is exactly what Barcelona need for the club to survive. They have hired strong players and there are enough purely coaching questions for Xavi. I don’t know if two or three defenders are better. I didn’t understand De Jong’s role. They took Pedri. The boy is 19, last season the midfielder suffered three tendon injuries and missed 30 games.

What happens when Lewandowski doesn’t score? Is the side class sufficient? In terms of transfers, the Napoleonic plans are Bernardo Silva, the “new Busquets” Martin Subimendi, the exchange of Depay for Firmino, the return of Messi. But the passion for high-profile business does not allow us to forget that Barcelona flew out of Eintracht, did not beat the Bayern crisis and in a couple of days will fight in Milan.

Xavi is too early to live as a dictator. This is a young coach who has a lot to learn. We have trampled on a couple of rivals with the help of Lewandowski, Dembele and Pedri, but the toughest trials await them. For example, an away match with Real Madrid in two weeks.
