Barça Xavi's guidelines
Opinion Xavi's psychophonies
Xavi Hernández
made it very clear on the same day of his presentation as
Barça's
new coach
: he is going to impose a series of
strict rules
in the dressing room. From his point of view, much of the poor performance that the team has been exhibiting in recent times is due precisely to the absence of rules to follow, both on and off the pitch. And the veterans, with whom he coincided in his time as a Barça footballer, such as
Marc-André ter Stegen
,
Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba
or
Sergi Roberto
, he is going to demand even more than the rest. Understand that they must pull the car. Set an example.
Therefore, it is not at all strange that, as the
Cope chain
has advanced
,
Gerard Piqué
has finally decided to cancel an interview in '
El Hormiguero
' that was scheduled for next week. Now, the most important thing is Barça. We must straighten the course of a team that is signing some terribly blushing numbers so far this season. And the Barça center-back would thus show that he is more than willing to fulfill that exemplary role that Xavi thinks to demand from veterans at all times, even though, in many cases, he has a very close relationship, or even friendship, with them.
In recent times, Piqué has excelled a lot in activities far removed from football.
As, for example, different
events
organized jointly with the youtuber
Ibai Llanos
or his involvement in
sporting events such
as the organization of the
Davis Cup
.
Now, the center-back, one of the captains of the first team and one of the voices that is followed with more attention throughout the Barcelona environment, will have to focus on everything that concerns his role as a Barça footballer.
Just yesterday, despite being still convalescing from his last injury, he did not want to miss
Xavi's first session
at the head of a Barça squad reduced both by the injuries of several of its components and by the commitments of the national teams.
Among the measures that the new Barça coach wants to recover are a couple that a predecessor has already applied with whom they insist time and again on comparing it, no matter how much that may turn out to be a death trap:
Pep Guardiola
. The current
Manchester City manager
, at the time, required the members of the Barça first team squad to have
breakfast and lunch together
at the
Joan Gamper
sports city
. Thus, he achieved two objectives. On the one hand, it managed to increase the team spirit, that all its components were a pineapple, without fissures. And, on the other hand, it also managed to improve control over an aspect as important for athletes as
nutrition
.
Those rules, that order that Xavi wants to impose in training sessions and in the activity that Barça players are going to carry out from now on away from the pitch will also have their corresponding reflection on the pitch. The new Barcelona coach wants his players to know at all times
what to do
, both in attack and defense. His intention is to provide them with an environment that is both comfortable and recognizable, so that they can always give their best performance and prevent the team from showing apparent tactical disruptions in matches. Something that, during
Ronald Koeman's time
at the helm of the Barça team, in fact, happened on several occasions.
Furthermore, your requirement will always be the highest.
From his point of view, Barça is always obliged to win.
Even ties must be experienced as defeats.
Especially if they arrive like the one signed last Saturday in
Balaídos
, after going to the break with a 0-3 score and allowing the locals, in the final moments of the duel, to finally start the tie.
