Xavi SHOCKED Barcelona Players With New Rules! He Is Changing Everything

At his presentation as Barcelona head coach, Xavi also answered questions from journalists. And although his answers seemed ordinary at first glance, by reading between the lines, one can understand how tough and radical the changes in the club will be.

Let's break it down. This is Vamosito channel and we begin.

Discipline

According to Xavi's answers, it’s clear that he has already managed to familiarize himself with the internal affairs of the club. And it’s obvious that he did not like much of it. The Spaniard intends to start fixing the situation with discipline.

“First, we need new rules. They will be strict. This is not a question of rigidity, but a question of the existence of norms. When we had norms in the locker room, everything went well. When that wasn’t the case, problems began. So order is essential. We need to be professionals. Expectations and demands will be the highest. We will not come up with excuses and accept them,” Xavi said.

Indeed, looking at the team's results and some non-game moments that leaked to the press, we can say that there is no order in the team.

Just remember the moment that happened in the last Barcelona match against Celta. Catalan midfielder Philippe Coutinho refused to substitute injured Ansu Fati. At that time, Barça were leading with a score of 3:0 and such an incident should not have affected the outcome.

Eventually, young Alejandro Balde appeared on the pitch and had a rather weak match. However, the 18-year-old cannot be blamed for this, because a very small percentage of players are able to have matches worthy of Barcelona level at his age.

As a result, the match turned upside down and Celta were able to make a comeback, leveling the score in the last added minute. This is how the lack of discipline played a cruel joke with Blaugrana. But nothing foreshadowed trouble.

Demands

Where there are problems with discipline, there are always problems with the requirements for yourself and your teammates. Xavi also understands this very well and intends to raise the bar several times higher.

“When I left Barcelona, I said that we are the best team in the world, that there should be an increased responsibility at Barça, that we cannot draw or lose at Camp Nou, but should only win. I will ask the players to have greater personal requirements, because we are Barcelona, the best club in the world. We need to implement the maximum requirements in our work, we need to make every effort,” Xavi said.

If it seems to you that this is just bravado and there can be no such problem at a club like Barcelona, then let's recall the interview with Sergio Aguero after he joined the club.

“At Man City, we came to practice an hour and a half in advance, and at Barcelona, everyone comes 30 minutes before the start. I said,“ Okay, I’ll come at least an hour before the session to work out at the gym.” But there was no one there. Everything was closed, god damn it,” Aguero said in an interview with Diario Sport.

With these words of Kun, you can understand the difference in organization between Man City and Barcelona and how far the Catalans have fallen behind other leading clubs in the world. Xavi will have to fix it.

Philosophy

Of course, they couldn’t help, but ask Xavi what ideas his players would relay.

“I came here prepared. My DNA is the same. We need to take responsibility, have possession of the ball, create chances and play intensely. Our mission is to save everything that has been lost,” the coach explained.

That is, the Spaniard sets the initial task to go back to the origins. Obviously, this means a return to football, which was conducted by Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola.

And as for the general vision of Barça’s football, Xavi described it as follows: Barcelona are the most difficult club in the world. You need to play well and win here. A victory with a score of 1:0 in the 90th minute is not enough. We need to convince and return to our standards and excellence.”

Xavi knows what he’s talking about, because he was an integral part of the squads of Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique, which terrified all opponents, and when trips to Camp Nou turned into a living hell for them. Xavi won the treble as a player with both of these coaches and now strives to achieve the same as a coach himself.

"In the end, it's Cruyff's idea. My first defender is the striker and the first attacker is the goalkeeper. You have to work tactically, know what to do on the field in different situations”, Xavi summed up.
