Since Xavi returned to Barcelona as manager, he has achieved a record of 16 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses. Overall, Xavi put Barca back on track, morale was high, and the 4-0 victory over Real Madrid was a good side, a downside, and it was also because of these 6 games of defeat, all of which were lost in key matches, which directly led to the team's double-line exit. It also proves that Barca's current squad is not enough to compete with strong opponents, so this summer, Barca's reinforcements will continue.
Considering Barca's current financial situation, Laporta will certainly not spend a lot of money to bring in strong reinforcements, and there are only two feasible ways to bring in players, on the one hand, free of charge, relying on Barca's strong attraction, and the second is to sell players who have lost their main positions in the team. Of course, many of the players' names are also among them.
There are also players who have lost hope for the club and thus want to leave this summer, and Xavi has been able to calm down and help Barca restart next season in the case of Barca's double-line exit, so he has found players to talk to, including three players, Xavi asked him to promise not to leave the team. De Jong had no problem, but the other two were debatable.
Xavi has asked Depay, Frankie De Jong and Lenglet to promise that they will not leave the team this summer, according to Spain's Six
De Jong
De Jong was introduced from Ajax by Barca at the beginning of the huge amount of money, joined Barca for several years, has been working hard, appeared in any position that requires him to appear, and performed well, but it may also be because of Barca's platoon deployment, always unable to let De Jong play his high level in Ajax, which also proves that De Jong is still wandering in his unsuitable position.
Although there is no risk of leaving the team, for fans, Barca's positioning of De Jong will make De Jong gradually lose confidence and waste De Jong's talent. Next season, Xavi should focus on De Jong's position so that de Jong can play its own value so that he can better help Barca.
Depay
Since Xavi asked Depay not to leave the team, this also proves that Depay still has a certain position in Barca, at present, there is only one Aubameyang in the forward line, Ferrantores is not up to the task, his shining point still needs Xavi to wait to be discovered, and Fati's injury has always been a concern for fans. Dembele can only appear in the right wing position, mostly for organizing and passing.
So Depay is a pillar of Barca's current forward line, and since Xavi asked Depay to stay in the team, he must be reused, after all, Depay is the top scorer of the Dutch team, and every time he hopes for Ferrantores, in the case of wasting opportunities, it is better to let Depay play, which will definitely create surprises for the team. So to keep Depay in the team, Harvey should give him more time.
Lenglet
Xavi let Lenglet stay in the team, it is indeed unexpected by the fans, Langley's professional attitude is unquestionable, which is why Barca fans have always tolerated Lenglet, but Barca must sell their existing personnel to obtain funds in order to strengthen next season. Lenglet should be a must-go man.
In the past two years, Lenglet's strength and form have declined rapidly, perhaps because Barca's backline has been penetrated many times, which has made Lenglet lose confidence, and every time he is on the field, he is afraid, so he has not shown his confident performance at all, and leaving Barca may be a good result. Besides, with Alaujo already in Barca's backline, Garcia and Christensen, Lenglet's existence will be less and less valuable. If you don't shoot now, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get a transfer fee in the future.
summary
Xavi also attaches great importance to these three players, de Jong will not leave the team, this is a foregone conclusion, because De Jong has never said to leave Barca, and Depay needs time and location, otherwise the main player of the Dutch team cannot stay in Barca to waste time, and Lenglet and Barca, it is better to get together and disperse.
