As a loyal Barcelona fan, I have to say that the recent discussions about Xavi have left me feeling both anxious and expectant. Xavi, the former stadium magician, is now in a difficult coaching position. Last year's La Liga title doesn't seem to have brought him the respect he deserves, as the team's current performances have been disappointing.
First of all, Xavi's tactics seem to have been seen through by his opponents. His coaching style remains the same, which is fatal on a competitive level. When Pep Guardiola was in charge, Barcelona had a new tactical setup for almost every game, and this versatility was the key to their success. In contrast, Xavi's coaching seems a bit monotonous, even a little weak.
Looking at the team's lineup, the only one who can rely on is Lewandowski. However, the Polish striker's form has dropped significantly this season, which has had a direct impact on the team's overall performance. Many people may ask, should all the responsibility be borne by Lewandowski?Apparently not. In fact, Xavi should be grateful to Lewandowski last season, without whom Barcelona would not have been able to win the league title.
It is rumored that there has been a rift in the relationship between Xavi and Lewandowski, and the player is very unhappy with Xavi's tactical set-up. And Xavi also seems to blame Lewandowski for all the failures. This kind of internal contradiction and dissatisfaction is fatal for the team.
The team's management seems to have a countermeasure. Lewandowski could be sold next summer, while Xavi's place could be replaced by second-team coach Karl Marx. While Laporta has publicly expressed his support for Xavi, it looks more like a PR ploy.
The atmosphere in the dressing room seems to have started to spiral out of hand, although there is no shortage of quality players in the squad. The problem is that Xavi doesn't seem to have found the right way to integrate the team and find the best solution to the problem.
Xavi said in a recent interview: "We are on the right path, and although there is some frustration and loss, I still believe we can do better. It sounds frustrating, but as a fan, I still expect Xavi to turn things around quickly and lead the team out of this difficult situation.
As fans, we have mixed feelings. On the one hand, we have a lot of respect and nostalgia for Xavi's emotions and his past performances on the pitch;On the other hand, we also have to face the reality of Xavi's ability as a coach and the team's current performance. We all want to see Barça shine again, but it takes time, the right decisions and, above all, patience and trust. At this turning point, we can only wait and see how the future of Barça unfolds.
