While it's true Xavi did get Alves, Ferran,Auba, and Adama, Xavi however has done a great job getting the rest of the team back up to scratch and performing much better than they have been under Koeman. Sure we still have work to do in the Market, but it seems like maybe the team wasn't as fucking awful as Koeman tried to make it out.
I think the idea that almost everyone improved under Xavi is a bit exaggerated.
-Gavi and Nico were newbies to the team under Koeman, so understandable that with more time and guidance they are likely to improve
-Pedri was injured for a long spell
-Busquets seems better but mostly because other MF players are doing a better job and taking defensive pressure off of him.
-Ter Stegen is same to me still. Defense is doing a better job so is getting tested less. Have to wait and see if he is going to do a better job
-Araujo has steadily improving.
-Pique has changed things around drastically and Dest in defense department has improved(but sacrificed a bit of offensiveness).
-And yes Frenkie also looking better.
-Mingueza and Puig sidelined from the get-go by Xavi, maybe what Koeman should have done was do same to Mingueza from start of season.
But Xavi is keeping things simple, found better roles for some players and is a great motivation. Stellar job.
