The prospect of Xavi coaching Barcelona, in fact, I am very unoptimistic...
When playing football, as the "brain" of the Spanish national team and Barcelona, Xavi's achievements are beyond doubt. In terms of ball quotient, he is also a once-in-a-century talent midfielder in world football.
But let's not think that "midfield master" is synonymous with "tactical master". Isn't Pirlo of Juve last season a good example?
And let's talk with data.
Admittedly, in the past two and a half years, Harvey has also been honored in Sade. But the problem is that THAAD is in the Qatar Star League, which is the existence of the only slot...
When he was still coaching in the Dutch league, DePol's Ajax also won four consecutive titles, but can you say that he is also a tactical master?
Therefore, compared with the domestic arena, THAAD's AFC Champions League results are more reference value. And speaking of this:
In 2019, the newly appointed Harvey brought the team to the semi-finals, and finally lost 5-6 to the final champion Riyadh Crescent in two legs, which is indeed OK;
But last year, THAAD unexpectedly stopped in the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League; this year, in the context of the expansion of the AFC Champions League to 40 teams, this "Qatar aircraft carrier" failed to qualify from the group due to the goal disadvantage!
Therefore, it is recommended that Barcelona really do not think of Xavi as the "optimal solution".
In fact, I think there is a famous coach, which is quite suitable for barca now, and now he is also idle at home.
His name was Ernesto Valverde.
