It will be a tough wake-up call in Barcelona today. On Sunday evening, in the Spanish Super Cup final, Real Madrid easily rolled over FC Barcelona, winning with a score of 4-1. A duel in which the Merengues were far superior in all areas of the game, and which further weakened FC Barcelona where we could already smell a bit of danger, before this match.
And if there’s one man who’s been carrying a lot for a while, and it’s become more apparent in recent hours, it’s Xavi. A time protected from criticism, his status as a legend who helped the club, the former Barcelona midfielder is now the first to be singled out when it comes to pointing out these Barcelona ills. After yesterday’s meeting, many still called for his resignation or dismissal. Especially on social networks, where Barcelona fans believe he has lost his team and is not the man for the job.
Laporta doesn’t flinch
But various Spanish media suggest, viz Sports, the management of FC Barcelona has full faith in Xavi. So there will be no layoffs in the future, and the coach has the confidence of the staff and above all of his president, John LaPorta. If there is to be a dismissal, it will not be before the end of the season, when the club will take stock of the situation.
The management is not a fan of drastic changes during the season and believes Xavi is the ideal man to take on the current project. The information has also been confirmed by the club’s sporting director, Deco Movistar After the meeting: “This question (on Xavi’s dismissal, editor’s note) makes no sense. He still has the confidence of the president and the sports management, nothing has changed with this defeat.. So, Xavi can sleep well, for the moment.
