He needs to learn to control his emotions. A manager at any level with this many red cards is ridiculous. His expulsion today added to the implosion and he added fuel to the fire instead of calming the team down while the tie was still level.
I think he can become a top coach but he came to Barca too early. Needs years of experience in a different competitive environment to figure out his tactics.
This club will ALWAYS be biased towards the Catalans or the DutchI take back what I say about him sharing no blame.
His post match interview is embarrassing.
We gotta get these Catalans out of this club. Xavi and Laporta both need to get out of this club.
In the eyes of some fans, we are never allowed to play pragmatically.
We are only ever allowed to win, when we are by far the best team on the field and in the world.
1-0 up against a team that has all the pace in the world, we should have done what? Came out and pressed them, leave space in behind for them to exploit if they beat the press?.
Control the ball like prime Barcelona and pass them to death?
We did exactly what we should have done to start the game, weather there storm at the start and score a goal on the counter.
The game was decided by 1 thing and 1 thing only.
Was hilarious watching his interview on tv where he was going on a rant about the Araujo foul not being a foul or red card and then two minutes later they ask ter Stegen the same question who's like probably a foul and fair red card because of that.
Then the club will die lol.This club will ALWAYS be biased towards the Catalans or the Dutch
Xavi is a bad loser no doubt.
He has more red cards than trophies as managerHe can be a bad loser for all I care, but the least we should be able to expect from him is not to lose his shit and get sent off every second game.
He seriously need to learn to control that otherwise that shit alone will have teams look the other way. Even Mourinho at his worst wasn't getting sent off so often and he was an asshole.
Could argue that it's making a comeback with how many great youngsters emerged this season. Only time will tell, and most fans in Barca rather keep the Barca Way than change the way we play/modernize/adaptThen the club will die lol.
Both are fossils in world football and their football philosophies are irrelevant in modern day.
It’s a yellowXavi being delusional is nothing new.
It was a red card all day long. It was a foul on a player who was through on goal with a clear goal scoring opportunity. If you follow the rules of the game, that will always be a red card.
This is why Xavi has to go. He believes he knows the game better than everyone else but his belief is delusional and goes against simple logic.
Anyway, players will learn from this. It's a new level for them including Araujo.
And the sooner we come back to Camp Nou the better. Dislike this Olimpic stadium.
