How Xavi changed Barcelona’s identity

[@charlief7785]

People should realize that Xavi's task is far more monumental than Pep when he coached Barca. Pep inherited Rijkaard team that had two seasons on a lower level, but still managed to reach CL semis against Man U and lost by a single goal, that team had Xavi at 28 or so, Iniesta at 24, and of course the future GOAT at 20 about to hit his prime. I'm not trying to discredit Pep, he did turn those players from great to absolutely phenomenal, but he did catch Barcelona at a far better moment. Xavi inherited a club in ashes more like Rijkaard in his first season, but without a Ronaldinho to add that special quality for big games. No Messi, ageing Busquets and Pique, and absolutely no structure left by the incompetent Bartomeu. He is basically rebuilding from scratch, and this is just his first full season. Even Pep struggled to get both Bayern and City off the ground with his style on his first attempt, and Pep Bayern were treble winners, and City had far more established players. So hopefully people don't judge Xavi by unfair and out of context standards, but I won't hold my breath.

[@lexkanyima2195]

But Xavi will rebuild

[@miquelmolera8325]

true words 👏🏻

[@CristianmrWuno]

Pep got a team that went from losing the league by 18 points to Madrid, to then destroy and toy with Madrid in their own field. Rijkaard had a team that was good but that was going down for the lack of professionalism, he kicked the big names out and called a guy called Busquets from third division to bench Toure, and moved Xavi and Iniesta from CAM and wings to CM, the rest is history. But yeah, Xavi can't make signings like Pep couldve done in the past if he wanted a certain player on his team. Xavi also got a team with a poor mentality and 0 football knowledge on possesion and the type of football Xavi plays

[@charlief7785]

@@CristianmrWuno All true. Again, Pep influence was phenomenal and he is still the GOAT manager, especially having the ridiculous balls of as 1st time manager kicking out the star of that team(Ronaldinho) and all the heavy weights, signing Dani Alves and of course, Busquets discovery is 100% on him. The entire midfield trident Busquets-Xavi-Iniesta is 100% his, as Rijkaard saw the latter two as either one or the other. But it's a different beast picking up a team that was slacking for two years but the club was still financially viable to a team that's been in ashes for at least 2017(last season with Luis Enrique) and completely lost their roots. Barcelona before Xavi was an absolute trainwreck of a club, with Guardiola the team was poor, but the club was still solid financially and had a couple of young talents that were readily awaiting their opportunity. TLDR Pep had to rebuild a team, Xavi has to rebuild a club.

[@Latimish]

​@@CristianmrWuno yeah but if you were around then you'd know that complacency was the biggest issue with that team. Dinho was partying all the time, Deco didn't seem motivated and Messi kept getting injured. The talent was never in doubt when Pep took over, he even had the luxury of selling off Ronaldinho and Deco.

[@sc522]

I think Barca neads squad depth to become really competitive. It´s alarming that when 3 players are missing (Pedri, Dembele and De Jong) you stop being a dominant team and start struggling and losing games. Great video, thank you!

I believe Xavi's Barça is a bit more direct than what he would consider 'ideal' because of the type of players he inherited/got.

And at that level, it makes a huge difference.

Great video mate. Really excited for this unit and looking forward to this summer transfer window as it may be crucial relative to Xavi's core ideas and our ability to bring those to life. Besides being as vertical as we have (I was pleasantly surprised with how direct Xavi has been); I hope we relax on pressing as high as often as that almost always results in the Low Block from most modest and lesser teams. My main idea as a solution to that, play in a mid-block and not force teams into that deep, compact ultra defensive shape in the first place. Secondly would be improvement in personnel which should lead to greater synergy, automations and instances of improvisation within Xavi's framework.

It's sort of a return to how Cruyff's Barca played against teams that didn't allow them to play through the middle. Pep and Koeman would switch play and try to find Stoichkov or Beguiristain, who would cut inside to shoot or layoff for Romario. The squad doesnt have an experienced player in the midfield that gives them the composure and dynamism required to dictate a game in and out of possession. Pedri and Gavin are still too young and cannot be relied upon to play 50+ games a season at their best level. With Busquets leaving I kind of get why Xavi wanted Zubimendi, but they'll need a lot more than a DM. With all the financial restrictions this won't be a rebuild Xavi can finish in one summer. My worry is more with the hierarchy than Xavi. They're swayed too much by sentiment.

I think all this is to say is that this team is relatively young in their identity of tearing apart space. I think that, funny enough, the fact that Lewandowski underperformed while also being the league’s top goal scorer speaks to his brilliance as a striker in a new league on a young and inexperienced team, but also to just HOW inexperienced this team is as a unit. Going through so much bull in the last few years has only afforded Barca to function on individual greatness sometimes making something happen. But now, with an experienced forward, they were able to practice putting together better chances, and beginning to mould their identity of murdering space. As it stands, the future is bright as long as Lewandowski, De Jong, and (arguably most importantly) Pedri stay healthy. Lewandowski for his near guaranteed consistency, De Jong for his brilliance in playmaking and creative thinking, and Pedri for decision making up top. Others like Dembele, Kounde, Balde, and Gavi are also critical, but I think those three will be key in up keeping Barca as they try to fit a replacement for Sergio, while strengthening the future of Barca.

With the news of Busquets leaving at the end of the season, I think Barca would have to sacrifice any plans of building the squad depth (or even bringing Messi back) to bring in a replacement in that CDM position. Gundogan would have played the role of the right interior, but he can't be slotted into the Busquets role if we expect a similar gameplan. And we simply can't afford to put Pedri in that position permanently unless we bring in someone as creative like KDB. Next season is going to be more difficult than this one

What i have realized about Xavi is that he is very midfield and Pep is very defensive midfield. Those two positions are actual much different than what it seems. They are not the same.
