Xavi Hernández

[gregorrin10]

I think it will be announced by the weekend, or the start of next week at the latest.

I hope it works out with him, but I just think he needs a break from football to decompress before taking up such a challenge.

 

[Messigician]

They want to keep him top the end of the season and we are supposedly trying to convince them !!!
How ??

Even if we had money to compensate them they have no need of money

Idk

❌ The first meeting between Bar?a and Al Sadd has ended in complete failure to teach any agreement [Diario]

 

[Messigician]

The negotiations with Al Sadd for Xavi will resume tomorrow. [sport]

So nice to see Xavi so active and instructing his team at all times, he's almost on the pitch! I see a lot of Pep in him in that regard, just as in love and border line obsessed with the game 24/7. That's what we need, someone who is in it 100% and will be looking for tactical solutions all the time, always thinking of how to improve the team.

And his team bottles a win in last minute vs 10 man. Not a result you want to see vs Benfica though.

Xavi confirms this deal but it all depends on two clubs.

Expected this would be a problem...

The Qatari sheikhs do not like Bar?a's relationship with Saudi Arabia. They did not like that the Maradona Cup will be played there. Mateu Alemany and Rafa Yuste offered them to speak to the president via a video call, but they declined.— @EsportsRAC1

 

[Barcilliant]

Just get Nuno Santo in. Why the fuck should we bow and scrape to the Qataris?
Let Xavi come in at the right moment.

 

[mc_lovin]

It's a lot of show and nothing more. Xavi will come.

He will be an epic failure, his philosophy is boring, naive and obsolete

 

[fergus90]

Barca itself has been an epic failure for a couple of years and even longer in Europe, so at worst he's just continuing the current trajectory.

Which is exactly why we shouldnt hire him. We need to break this cycle of failure.
I think Laporta knows this. He's giving the fans what they want but feels Xavi is not upto it. If Xavi fails Laporta will bring in the coach he really wants.

Not sure how Xavi would continue our trajectory when the last three coaches were polar opposites. It will definitely be something new. Whether it will be successful or not is a different story, but it's a fresh approach.

Quite simple, at worst, Xavi maintains Barca's distance from the best teams in Europe. Got nothing to do with personalities or playstyles.
