Pep Guardiola REACTS to Xavi's decision to resign as Barcelona coach

[@innerpeace_memo500]

To be fair our squad has changed a lot since the last season, 11 players left. Xavi wanted fast wingers and wanted to play single pivot when he first came and we have totally different players know. Dembele, Abde, Traore etc. Know only real 1vs1 player is the 16 year old Jamal

[@prannoy1019]

Having seen you scream and moan about how Xavi has handled the recent losses in the media, let’s not forget your critique also added to the noise. The same noise that Xavi is complaining about right now.

[@asadzaffar9641]

Very well said . It is something that I also have been observing, Media and fans just criticise if the team isn't performing. Just look at how Lewandowski is being treated . If he leaves everyone will say please give him one more season.

[@arnolddsouza2049]

This is exactly what has contributed to his frustrations. The fact that his advice to the next coach is to stick to the plan and not give into the noise also references how our fans forced Xavi into believing that his tactics were wrong when in fact we were headed towards a brighter future despite having players like yamal, cubarsi, fort, guiu and fermin who did not look out of place. I hate the way our "fans" have treated Xavi hiding behind the Real Madrid standards instead of giving Xavi and the team confidence and backing. Honestly which coach is going to come in next year and win us a trophy?

[@asadzaffar9641]

@@arnolddsouza2049 Busquets left, Alba left , Dembele left , Gavi injured, Ter Stegen injured , Raphina out of Form , Lewandowski out of Form , Defence clueless ..

⁠@@asadzaffar9641The entire squad is out of form? it’s pretty much the same said from last season with gundegon cancelo and felix as backups now. It’s no coincidence the entire team is out of form. Don’t even get me start on that defense because it’s the exact same one as least season. But all of a sudden this team is bad? alba didn’t play, dembele was already unreliable with his injuries, busquets was the only last key piece but he was already making mistakes in his last few seasons we just needed a proper substitute for him which we never had for years. I know the players are at fault but not all of the fault, xavi is at fault 90% but you people who keep saying xavi isn’t the problem are also the problem. btw what has xavi proven against big team besides madrid ?

It not just pressure but unrealistic demands in situations that the coach can't do anything abt like the club finances.

We all can see how that position is affecting the team balance.

[@gracehandsresearchinstitut1698]

I have said this several time

[@P4P1980]

Yes and realistically how do you think that financial crisis can be solved?? A buyout from competent and realistic owners and IDK how that would work but it has come to that if you want FC Barcelona to get back to where they were because Laporta doesn't have a long term vision except for the stupid silly Euro Super League he hoped for. I wouldn't trust a guy like that to wash my car or walk my dog.

[@kanishkbakshi10]

I think, more than Xavi, it is the fault of the players. We have conceded the majority of the goals due to individual errors. Which is very significant compared to tactics from Xavi. He only got roughly 2.5 years as coach of Barcelona, while it took both Klopp and Pep time to build the team and provide a structure and identity to the team. We have upcoming players from La Masia who are so good and understand Xavi and his tactics with good application and implementation on the field. I think, Xavi should have stayed for the betterment of the future of Barcelona and bringing back the Barca DNA in a couple years time.

[@P4P1980]

Key point I picked up on was also that Pep Guardiola said he loves it at Man City because apart from everything he most importantly has a hierarchy / board / ownership that supports him and player changes was supported meaning he could bring in reinforcements whenever someone left or not but most importantly Man City owners give Pep and Co the freedom and thats the key word. So say what you want about the media and the press but its refreshing to have a board and management system that doesn't add to the pressure or makes things complicated for you to coach. So in the end, Xavi is leaving because the current board at FC Barcelona sucks or don't really have long term fixes and the financial situation unless a buyout is done will take quite some time to be resolved. Plain and simple and this also applies to any big name or big potential coaches whom most likely will stay away from FC Barcelona. In the end its going to be either Marquez or Motta or if you like old school Claudio Raineri, Marcelo Lippi, Sven Goran Erickson....etc Don't expect big name coaches with continuing legacy or big potential coaches who wants a legacy to just suddenly come over to Barcelona as the way things stand.

[@CG68810]

There hasn't been cohesion since the start of the season. Between injuries and line up changes, it has been hard to get everyone on the same page. Regardless, the players are on the field so they need to produce in order for the team to succeed.

[@md19974]

I feel that the biggest thing holding back the club is the reluctance to accept an evolution in the playing style. Even Pep Guardiola's Man City don't play exactly like prime Barcelona (2008-2012). His Bayern Munich team was also not a carbon copy. Pep has changed his tactics on the basis of available players and intensity of the league. The core principle is still total football but he's made required adjustments. This is why he's still regarded as the best manager in the world. Contrast this with the playing philosophy of the Spanish national team. Every incoming coach is expected to implement tiki-taka even when the player personnel isn't suitable for it and other teams have learned how to defeat this system. We saw it with the Netherlands hammering Spain 5-1 in the 2014 World Cup. Since winning the 2012 Euros, Spain haven't come close to looking like serious contenders for a prestigious tournament (World Cup and Euros). We saw the foolishness of our own fanbase when our toxic fan pages and articles contributed to the negativity around Ernesto Valverde. His team didn't play silky football but at least, Barca were serious challengers. He made it look like winning La Liga was easy. He wasn't perfect and he does bear responsibility for the capitulations in Rome and Liverpool in the Champions league. But did we hold the players equally accountable? The answer is no. We ignored the disgraceful recruitment by the club, which contributed to the mess. Just go back and look at the squad with which he beat much better teams. He had Messi, whose sheer genius papered over the cracks in the team but it does take some thinking to use Messi to his maximum ability. Valverde gave us the most complete version of Messi who created chances and scored like no other player. But our fanbase created an image of Valverde as an inept coach who simply wasn't at the required level. I remember the toxicity created around his name. When he was sacked, the team was at the top of the league table. Quique Setién, a man who was supposedly obsessed with tiki-taka was brought in. The less said about his reign, the better. Our obsession with Barca DNA resulted in the sacking of a manager who had managed to do a wonderful job with respect to the situation he was in. Xavi is not a perfect coach. He has his weaknesses and his inexperience also shows at times. But he was subjected to ridiculous criticisms by the local media and fan pages for not playing the proper Barca way. Even when the team was winning last season, those criticisms were still there. They never took into account the team Xavi had at his disposal. One should not forget that even Pep Guardiola couldn't manage more than 4 seasons there. Even after winning a historic treble, 3 la liga titles and another champions league title, Pep felt that he couldn't handle the pressure. He has said it publicly that it's virtually impossible for a manager to stay at FC Barcelona for a long period of time. This means that it's almost impossible to execute long term projects at Barca. Barca have been poor this season and fan anger is understandable. But they don't address the reason behind the awful performances. i) There is no proper CDM in the team. Without a great holding midfielder, both the attack and defense suffer. Just look at how badly Man City play when Rodri isn't available. When a super team like Man City suffer without their holding midfielder, how can we not expect a much weaker team like Barca to worsen without theirs? ii) Ter Stegen was the sole reason why we managed to get so many 1-0 wins last season. He not only made important saves and support our playing style but also gave confidence to the defence. His injury has been devastating for us. iii) Other injuries to key players such as Gavi and Pedri have had adverse effects on the team. Gavi brings a certain aggressiveness which has been sorely missed. Let's hope that the club brings in a manager who can make things better. Xavi is a legend of the club. He rescued us when we were at our lowest period. He brought hope and joy back to Barca with the trophies he managed to win. If he feels that it's time to leave, we respect his decision. May he do great in all his future endeavours. As a fanbase, it's our responsibility to support a long term project at Barca. We shouldn't call for the head of the manager just because the team isn't doing well. Let's learn to have a little more patience.

[@B_h_a_r_a_t_108]

Barcelona fans just always compare themselves with Madrid, if Madrid are winning why are we not winning. They really forgot how bad the team was before XAVI, Yes he is having a bad season but he just won the the title last season, give him time and support, our attackers are not scoring and defenders are making silly mistakes, just because of the pressure to win trophy. This is why premier league is different from other leagues.

Barca is one of the few teams I’ve seen where just winning isn’t enough for the fans and media. You need to win by multiple goals while playing the “Barca style” with every forward and midfielder scoring 30+ goals a 😢season and only allowing 4 or fewer goals during the year. If that doesn’t happen the whole team is garbage and should be sold for no less that 200 million per player because, even though they are “garbage” they are worth it.

[@davidriddick82]

It’s eye opening to hear PEP say that the board at City back him and not so much at FCB. It shows that someone legendary felt the same pressures and scrutiny as Xavi has also felt. So clearly there must be INTERNAL issues that still occur, because a legend and true FCB lover like Pep would not be saying such things for no reason, good on Pep for speaking up

[@P4P1980]

Yup and thats the real reason Pep left FC Barcelona and it took him a while to show how a club should be run. And its not just Pep but if you look at key ppl in management at Man City they are all at one point ex Barca officials during Laporta's first time as President of FC Barcelona. Key thing is that Man City owners are not only financially stable but have the sense to give freedom to people like Pep and others to do what is necessary and fit for the club. So perhaps FC Barcelona, should be possible now, to be up for sale to competent owners like the Man City owners

[@i_u_c1443]

Some ppl try to put all the blames on the players. I beg to differ. The players actually do labor hard & tirelessly on the pitch. It's obvious. The coach determines the style of play such that your players weaknesses are not exposed. That explains why a player can flourish under a manager but fails under another. Certain styles bring out the best in certain players. The coach's duty is to identify such. Pep ask for players who will thrive well under him, suit his style. U got to be certain of your style first before player recruitments. What's barca's current style/pattern of play? can someone help me please.

Everyone talk about how klop would be great but how much time and money did it take him for a European success? Look at pep team at man city, how long did it take him to have a well functioning team? Pep only succeeded in Barca because he had the best players to ever played the game. Honestly, Spain and Barca were just too dominant at that time.

People only feel bad because it's Xavi and recency bias. But i remember when ya'll destroyed Keoman and called him some of the worst things imaginable. Same thing ya'll did with Sietien and Valverde before him. Save me the tears🙄

No lie told... Barcelona isn't a club you can safely go to sleep when things aren't going well. Remember people! Xavi tried to say last year was a transition year. Laporta clapped back by saying "This is Barcelona. We do not do transition years." In hindsight, he wasn't wrong.

[@sterlinghutton7178]

Ffp hymc. Pep right on. AND barca fans feel is E. A. SPORTS. CAREER MODE. SPANISH MEDIA DOES AFFECT PLAYERS LIKE COUTINHO who came to replace Xavi. and got criticized for not scoring enough goals. Xavi scored goals? Lol stupid media

[@2000cx]

I think Xavi is a good coach but the media and the board are too harsh even moretalkfcb. The matches we lost is due to players if they cant score one on one then what can the coach do . Even the defense was like a lower level comeon this guys are paid in millions and we expect them to perform. Do you'll expect him to go and play. As fans our expectation are too high one win and we compare the players to legend. And a loss we immediately blame the coach. There is no consistency with the players game.

[@MahmoodBayramov]

Xavi wanted Kimmich, Bernardo and needed Dembele to stay at Barca. Right now we have useless old Romeu, Raphinha who does not have 1v1 skill and cannot shoot and Yamal who is still 16 years old and improving. I am not saying we do not have quality players, but we lack some important positions, a proper winger and a quality pivot are the missing parts to play better and win games

[@Novice-bn1xu]

"Xavi wanted Kimmich, Bernardo and needed Dembele to stay at Barca. " Then Xavi made a mistake ... he should not take up the Barca's head coach's job, knowing that Barca is in deep financial trouble. He should be applying at PSG, ManCity etc ... rich clubs that allow him to mix and match players to his liking ...

I can say one thing our expectations are very demanding as fan. When we win against Almeria by a goal, we will just go for the head of Xavi, but look what happened to Madrid. They also won by a goal difference against the same opponent that to with the help of the refs...have anybody called for the head of Ancelloti? How many games have this season madrid won by a goal difference? Do we see people criticizing madrid? How many times have they scored a winner after the 80th min? Then Madrid are mentally monsters. When barca do the same, the fans will say that we never react quickly....all the fans including those in these channel are very demanding. We always want to win that too playing mesmerizing football. This pressure is too much for any coach to handle

Barca need people who are determined to resurrect their careers, such as Wayne Rooney as a manager, Loris Karius who has been a good backup gk, Harry Maguire whose problem is Man Utd, he's been good at Leicester, then the physical and goal rich Romelu Lukaku in place of Lewa as striker. Lukaku is younger and can be a threatening presence. Lingard's been hard at work and intends to join Barca, so why not sign a passionate fella like him in midfield? Tbh tho, Bartomeu's time was laden with trophies, while Laporta's is basically like Tottenham apart from the La Liga last year. Unpopular opinion ofc, but something I felt Barca really needs. Many a gamble have been played, but I feel this risk will pay off...

[@john-adriancoker2789]

Pep & Lucho had better teams & most importantly *BUSQUETS* . The main reason Xavi won the league was Busquets, a CDM is crucial to his style of play & he knew they'd suffer without one which is why his priority signing was a successor to Busquets in Zubimendi. Apparently the club didn't have the funds to sign Zubimendi as the money was spent on Roque, as Deco pushed for him & Laporta obliged. Why doesn't Xavi, the coach have the final say? Why couldn't they tell Roque to wait till the summer as they needed the funds to sign Zubimendi? Xavi has not performed but it's certainly not entirely his fault.

I agree with everything Xavi says Pep said. But one thing that Xavi is not admitting is that he lost the lockerroom and whether it is all his fault is up for debate. I watched Las Palmas vs. Real prior to our game vs. Villarreal and can assure you that Las Palmas had a better ball movement, played with more desire, and looked more organized than Barca. It simply wasn't working, and what concerns me more is if we don't bounce back and release the pressure from the players after his announcement like he hopes to happen.

[@pboyiyinbor6957]

He never lost the players, we were unbalanced because we are lacking a DM. Watch Man city without Rodri. Man city has lost four games this season, they were without Rodri not to talk abt losing the best DM in Barcelona history. Pep talk abt support his getting in city from the board because he could buy any player he want. Dembele was not perfect but he was better than raphina and yamal. Lewandowski goals dried up with Dembele injuries last season and him leaving this season.
