Nah you are the one that used to blame coaches and their training.

One of many rules not applied for Xavi though.....

Mostly when Koeman used to play Pedri every single game 2-3 years ago, back then everyone was joking about "Sweat Shop Pedri". Other than that, not so much.

Always blamed Dembele for his injuries for example, especially as they clearly became a pattern under any manager.

Haha aye and no a peep when Xavi played Gavi almost as much minutes at a year younger...funny that.

When Xavi had more options...

Dembele/Araujo and any muscle injury used to be fault of coaches and their training.... now... folk are mocked for saying coaches contribute for minutes played in games.

Don't start again :lol:.

Araujo, Pedri, Dembele, these are players with a long, documented injury record under multiple managers now.

If they were fit players in the past and all of a sudden they drop like flies now, you could pose some questions on the staff... but then you'd have multiple players injured, not just the "usual suspects" so to speak.

Christensen is another one even from Chelsea days, who used to get injured a lot.

Indeed... but you used to blame the coaches and their training.

Now have 'poor Xavi' narrative when folk mention him and injuries.

Different rules as ever.

Just as there was with Pedri and Gavi minutes.

Fairly sure it was made out Xavi had coped better with Dembele and his training at one point also.

Xavi just played Araujo five days after he came off with muscle discomfort...then hes out for a month minimum.... coincidence.. maybe.

Not just Araujo but there were mentions in press of both Fati and Pedris environment not being happy with how their injuries were handeled.

And if that players get injured under multiple managers at around the same rate, then it's clear that the manager is not to blame. Perfectly logical. Problem solved.

Not really when poor decisions made and game time contribute to it.

Those players need managed better in that case.

So you were wrong all that time mouthed off about others coaches methods.... exactly.

Not a peep about Gavi minutes... strange that eh!

How come only players that are notorious for having frequent injuries under multiple managers get injured.

How come Raphinha, De Jong, the others almost never get injuried? :lol: It's always Dembele, Araujo, Pedri... Please...

Everything is Xavi's fault. :lol:

Lol exactly

Nah not 'exactly' in slightest.

Same folk who used to blame coaches and their training methods now crying about 'everything is Xavis fault' when folk point out how he contributed to injuries.

Usual.

Other coaches be absolutely slammed for playing Araujo a few days after came off complaining of tightness.

Reports in media of both Pedri and Fati camps not liking way they were taken back from injury in games and relapsed also in the past.

Remeber when Koeman first arrived here, fans praised him for his intense training and improving player physicality. Only later injuries happened and he was a bum.

Samething happens now with Xavi.

Perhaps if Xavi didn't hire an amateur staff full of friends and family we'd avoid some of these injuries.....perhaps not.
My point is that it's embarrassing for a club like Barcelona, but then again nepotism and embarrassment is something this club have gotten used to.
