Here's how Xavi REVIVED a 94-year-old tactic and took Barcelona to next level. Again.

Here's how Xavi REVIVED a 94-year-old tactic and took Barcelona to next level. Again.
On January 27, Xavi announced he will leave his position as Barcelona head coach at the end of the season. In his firm opinion, this decision was meant to ease the tension around the club, with the manager himself admitting that he had given his best and needed to rest.
As a matter of fact, it WORKED! So far, Barcelona have played 6 matches, winning 4 and drawing twice. In La Liga, the team collected 13 points out of 15 possible, thus keeping the title hopes alive - there are still 12 Matchdays left until the end of the campaign, so they still have a mathematical chance to succeed.
The Blaugrana and some of its performers showed much more confidence than before Xavi's words, and the coach himself became more relaxed and more courageous in his decisions, allowing himself things he could not have done before.
Today we're going to talk about one of those decisions which could change Barcelona's season for the better!
This is the Football Club channel and we're getting started!

Guys, please leave us a like if you are a Barca supporter and want the Catalans to capture at least one trophy this season!

This video ..is a reply to all who thought barca is nothing without messi suarez neynar..xavi is a good manager he deserves one more chance as a manager ..we have just started ..

[@misael9154]

he will have another chance in another club because he has no place in barcelona rn

[@BIazy]

​@@misael9154 he's staying

[@chariskadosh2715]

If Barca can only learn to defend the spaces, they'd be exceptional. By defending spaces, I mean not giving room to players to shoot or cross

[@robert_weide]

need DM for that

[@MessitheKingandgoat]

Need a new busquets

[@jayybiggaveli6632]

What confuses me is people act like Barca isn’t injured from goalkeepers to midfielders to defenders even players that’s playing right now some of them were injured I say for Barca to be dealing with all these injuries rn and still be 3rd says a lot

[@rashdan1994]

last year they played Eric Garcia as CDM, and he did great. off to the new season and Xavi didn't try any of his CB's to play as CDM, until this happens

[@TaiyouArt]

I always said that they should be playing cbs as dms it’s very similar .. even like mascherano

[@1AmSwapnil]

Heard this voice on multiple Football KZbin channels since 2020. Missed it a lot, great to hear you again

[@redresonant]

Xavi stepping down was a pretty extreme act IMO

[@EfremTeclemichael]

❤❤❤❤thx ourGod with u efisay ❤

[@doudoukora2539]

Xavi IS a genius those who Say Xavi must go they dont know the game its not only to stay AT home or go to the stadium watch the game and starts to critisize things they don't even know when Xavi Saïd WE need an top défensive midfielder he knew what hé was talking about and this just the beginning its not perfect yet but you will See how this team will go to another level Am doudou from Sénégal west Africa Barça fan ❤💙

[@Croyles]

Yes genious. Very intellyjent.

[@vishaldeka5298]

There is still a huge problem with the 3-2-5. The 5 players are too high up in the field leaving a huge gap between themselves and the two pivots. As a result, opponents can easily set up in a 4-4-2 mid block and block any ball progression. This was evident in the Getafe game during the first 10-15 minutes. FDJ was absolutely bullied since it was basically 4 vs 2 in the midfield. The 2 8s in the front 5 have to drop deeper to connect the midfield to the attack.

[@guyinyourbushes6632]

He took Barca to a level. I wouldn’t exactly say NEXT level

[@fabricezillmer-stumpe5984]

Sadly now Frenkie and pedri are out and we just can fight to prevent drama

[@visheshkedia6383]

He got 14 out 18 points in 6 games

[@matehavasi1153]

Toxic fanboys cannot realize that players are not robots, and these “fans” want everything perfect, right now, winning every game and trophy. Xavi is a great manager, winning Laliga in his first full season as manager. Even Cruyff could not do that.

[@Luxuryhomes37]

Thank you brother well said.

[@ndabezinhledlamini4935]

Garcia was going to be that CDM solution

[@binodale7420]

Xavi should use casado he is not for bench warmer and beside he is the proper cdm we have although i am not saying christensen is bad he is like ok type but he is not a proper cdm

[@liibanboojo1673]

Casado is so small man

[@vaishnavs3331]

He isn't a failed manager mate

[@WeWillFckUp2]

He was quoting what most people have been saying about him

[@Lawrence_LS96]

💙❤️🔥✨💪🏻

[@adampramadia]

this tactic is the worst. CDM should work box to box and if CDM wants to move forward, the CB and LB RB should follow together. if CDM moves to forward/backward early there's always in the middle. that's why FDJ should work hard to cover the gap.

[@zuhairyassin505]

still not convincing at all this season his first was phenomenal

[@sugate7986]

What are the chanches of xavi to change his mind to stay?

[@UTxTheArchangel]

I'd say there only chance he changes his mind if someone Barca ends the season with the league trophy or UCL trophy. This decision is a personal decision for him. One born from his pride as a Barca player, legend. Had he never been a Barca legend, he likely wouldn't leave unless fired. He feels himself like he isn't good enough for the team. The players and Laporta want him to stay.

[@TeroneBarrett]

I hope we win laliga and make to the ucl semis

[@MegaNunoDias]

Is a 433 normal. With a pivot

[@anthonyoni4751]

Xavi was very stubborn. Every Barca fan has been clamoring for Christensen to be used in that position since. He acted too late

[@ViscaBxrca]

so now he does what we want and you’re still complaining. this is why xavi is resigning

[@vineethachary4429]

Christensen, Kounde, Inigo and even Araujo were injured so who do you put at CB then? De Jong and Pedri were injured too so you had to play either Romeu, Fermin and Gundo in midfield. If you are a Barca fan you should be knowing this.

[@epics-rag953]

​@@ViscaBxrcaexactly . This stupid fanbase is the issue

[@ViscaBxrca]

@@epics-rag953 I can’t believe he is saying this after we washed Getafe 4-0 I feel ashamed of this fanbase since I am part of it myself

[@13azimshamsudeen93]

Christensen has been training in that dm role for some time , Xavi cannot put a player in a new position as important as dm without proper training

[@gonpow]

The coaching job has been pretty awesome with a broke club with lots of injuries and all tge very talented youngsters gavi is a huge loss

[@JoshuaFbref]

He hasn't revived it pep does the same at City with stones as a libero only difference is City have a double pivot but this season even rodri has moved forward more

[@danielca3]

So it's not the same really is it

[@albertngene7402]

Teenage talk .. Xavi is doing his best. A proper transition was never undertaken

[@eldonchino]

this is not 2323

[@220pl]

Hi football club channel

[@gonpow]

They should have beat psg 3-0 ter stegen is money and kounde araujo cancelo and that 17 year old are pretty stout defensively shut down the striker and forwards and score when given the opportunity

[@pablotorrestorres3980]

Xavi took too long to do this change, Christensen as “pivote” has been mentioned for months, Xavi waited too much

[@axtggh]

I'm not convinced until Xavi gets a convincing win against a Top club Edit.: If Xavi destroys PSG, I will personally fly over to Spain and apologize. Edit.: Tickets are booked, I'll be there on Tuesday Edit.: Xavi is sh!te and I was right from the start

[@LeoMessy-xs6uz]

He already won against Atletico & Real 👊 This season is Very difficult because of the Players injuries..

[@kapselinho9253]

stop making excuses..... real has more injures plus look at giorna they play way better with less quality players@@LeoMessy-xs6uz

[@kwakuboamah-gs3qg]

I second you, but injuries played its part too

[@theinfiniteml4578]

Wait Madrid ain't a top club?

[@youngking9024]

We already have multiple times

[@matthewmaayen1088]

If barca can't sign a dm they can use Eric Garcia as a dm

[@ShellysMakeover-co3sy]

I'm not convinced until Xavi beat top clubs with high average of goals like 4 ,5 goals like it's used to be in da olden days

[@dr.chris8]

This isn't reasonable

[@ismaharry]

​@@dr.chris8absolutely!

[@vineethachary4429]

And where do you get all these goalscorers from apart from Lewandowski. Wake up bozo this isnt Messi, Iniesta, Xavi era

[@wario1015]

Bro xavi just barely won one game and y’all are hyping him up ? SMH this is why Barca fans are always left disappointed

[@MinJo-89]

.

[@ojichukwuikpeama9685]

Barca should sign Nico Williams he is the only player in the world right now that can save Barca.

[@ToyKissKen]

jok

[@isaacait.6679]

Genius? Lol. Can’t even beat a big club

[@debanjanghosh4302]

So brother how are you imagining barca to win the league by buying refs as they did in Real vs Valencia. 😂😂😂😂 what ever Xavi do this season is done.

[@josephthybrother9534]

You're full of it. More hype than =eality Its only someone smoking hallucinogens would think Barca can win Laliga this season.

[@josephh.lalruatkima9387]

Sick of Xavi

[@roysnabilie8345]

XAVI STILL GARBAGE PLAYING STYLE IS TOTALLY SHIT TERRIBLE. EVEN THE STYLE OF THE FEMALE BARCELONA IS FAR MORE BETTER AND MORE EXITED TO WATCH THAN THE MALES . XAVI DOWNLOAD THE TEAM TO A 3RD DIVISION CLUB. THAT'S THEIR LEVEL NOW.

[@josephthybrother9534]

WHAT DO YOU WANT, A TEAM THAT PLAYS BEAUTIFUL FOOTBALL (WHICH THEY'RE NOT DOING) OR A TEAM THAT WINS MATCHES (WHICH THEY ARE NOT DOING EITHER). Xavi is a member of gtmreat players, bad coaches club of Maradona, Henry, Gerald, Lampard, Gullit, Pirrlo and Rooney.

[@wizkid7063]

​@@josephthybrother9534 he won a league and super cup so he is better than this pple u mentioned

[@xavierStark84]

Dude, go see the United matches... Hahahaha

[@justicenazir9299]

Can't be worse than your english

[@Luxuryhomes37]

You don't know football.
