Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
Tough mountain to climb he has, but a clear football philosophy and playing style he has.
And he sounds like he knows his football, although we accept that translating that to major success at Barcelona is another story.
But in short this guy is one of the guys i can listen to all day when he talks football

...it is their era to take over coaching, it's happening at other leagues. The old schoolers need to retire or retiring.

If Barcelona loses to Bayern and Benfica wins, then Barcelona goes to Europa
Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
How is Xavi's system different from Pep's Barça system?
They need to work on basic stuff. The kids like Ansu are doing stupid things that you would not even see at Barça B several years ago. The rot went too deep for too long.

Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
As it stands Barcelona will be taking part in Europa.
Currently 1-0 down to Bayern and not looking like winning.

Xavi has walked into a big rebuild job, and the jury will be out on weather he has the ability to turn things round in the long term, given his lack of experience at the highest levels.
When Barcelona drops to Europa there will be some quite good teams waiting, the likes of Dortmund, Atletico, AC Milan, RB Leipzig and potential danger like West Ham, Napoli etc, imagine Barcelona being knocked out of Europa by Moyes' West Ham

Pedri...
Ooh lalalala....
Ooh lalalala....
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Barca truly lucky to have Pedri. What a goal

Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
For me the best young player in the world and one of the best midfielders in the world.

There’s little doubt about this. I think he’s the best young player.

Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
Busquest's reaction when Dembele passed to Pedri instead of him for the goal, was priceless.

This currentl Barcelona team has a mixture of both Tiki Taka ava total football molded into one.
Only two things in life are certain - death and taxes. But there is one other unpleasant certainty: criticism. No one escapes it entirely and often our careers, our emotional stability, even our happiness depends on how we react to it."By Benjamin Franklin"
Re: Xavi Hernandez Barcelona head coach
One wonders why a team like ManU didn't pounce for Xavi when Barça was still fumbling around with Bartomeu and Tusquets?
Imagine the Manchester derby with Pep vs Xavi.
Throw in Tucel, Klopp, Arteta, Vierra, e.t.c... and you have a mouthwatering footie
