Xavi, the almighty in command of Barcelona

• Barcelona Dani Alves: "When it comes to doing great things, good people always come together"

Barça needed a tremendous jolt to trace an increasingly disappointing and dangerous trajectory. The revolution led to the announcement of the signing of

as a new Barcelona coach and, now, everything passes through his hands. Literally.

has opted to grant him full powers in all areas, an autonomy that Guardiola did not even have at the time. The technical secretary,

, aware of the lack of harmony between the two, decided to leave the club and has already completed his commitment to the entity. And before the plague of injuries, the departure of Ramon Canal was also executed as head of the medical services.

, of full confidence for Xavi and the heavyweights of the locker room, will be his probable replacement. And the hypothetical winter signings, in addition to the return of his friend

, will also have the stamp of the new coach.

With Xavi, in addition, the discipline has returned. The day of his presentation he made it very clear: it is necessary for the proper functioning of the costumes. And, in fact, he will be especially demanding with those with whom he shared experiences on the pitch, such as

and, of course, Dani Alves himself. "It is a matter of order, rather than discipline. From what I have been seeing, we are a family, a pineapple, and that is what that is about. When we have had rules, we have gone well and coexistence has been good. It has been given a lot of importance, but it does not have it. You do not have to shout or be a sergeant, "says the technician.

"I do not know if the dressing room needed order, but I am clear that I have lived it and when there has been order and rules, it is when we have gone well. I do not know how they worked before my arrival nor am I interested, but it has worked for me Without more, it is a matter of organization, group, being a family, attitude, respect, effort and sacrifice. In short, values ​​that cannot be lacking in this club, "he insisted. You know perfectly well that you have a lot of responsibility, but your pulse is not going to shake when making decisions. From now on, they are all yours.

"I am the one who has to decide, I am here to make decisions and I think we are going to go well. I am going to give everything. It is not a professional issue, it is a sentimental issue. I am from Barça and this is not going to be taken away from me, But I am going to give up my life to make this work. I am going to tell the footballers that we owe ourselves to many people and we cannot fail them. Then, we depend on the results in football, but in terms of values ​​the public should feel proud of the team even when we don't win, "said a

who has his debut in no less than a derby.

A derby as a premiere

"Espanyol is a very good team, it is very well worked by Vicente Moreno, it can press up or in a low block, it is capable of going out in transition and it has physical power in the strategy and the aerial game. It is a very rich rival, in many things. It will be a difficult game, with tension and a lot of rhythm, but we are preparing to compete well, "he explained. "It is an extra motivation for me and for the players. You have to go for everything. Whenever you win a derby, you come out strengthened," he added. "I don't know how defeats are managed. If they come, let it be as late as possible," said the Barça coach.

The team enters the duel with many casualties due to injury. Therefore, he does not rule out that there may be some surprises in his lineup. What he is very clear about is that he has everything he has at his disposal right now. Even with a

who seems to be very far from his best version or a

that has not finished being that revulsive in attack that, in theory,

looking for

when he bet hard to bring him to Barça. One of the things he is most interested in is also recovering a

whose performance has recently plummeted.

"We have not arrived and we have said 'we do not want these three'. We highly value the training sessions, the games, the encouragement ... Each person is different and we want to know how they are doing. Frenkie de Jong has to be very important to them. We have to reach the area, score goals, break pressure lines and be transcendental in the last line. Due to conditions, he has to make a difference, "he stressed.
