Laporta injects all his confidence into Barça and Xavi Hernández

The tie with flavour to defeat in the past day of LaLiga in front of the Granada CF (3-3) has gone back to wrap to the square of the City Condal in a big climate of tension, which had matizado a bit after the previous victories in the local contest in front of the Osasuna (1-0) and the Alavés (1-3). Nevertheless, the degree of pressure could be multiplying in the next days, since the Barcelona cast will confront two meetings that antojan keys for the finish of the campaign.

The group culé will have to face his first challenge of this week: the commitment in front of the Celtic of Vigo, a visit complicated to Balaídos and in which, if it does not add a necessary victory, can mean the definite leakage of LaLiga. No only this, of not adding a positive result in Galician earths, could mean a hard hit anímico for the second challenge in this periplo of five days: the crossing of maximum requirement that will have the Catalan picture between week in front of the Napoli (21/02) in the Stadium Diego Armando Maradona, valid by the gone of the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League.

Nevertheless, further of the worry that generates the fact that the Barcelonan square can obtain a pair of negative results that could give him an environment more 'weighed' to what subtracts of course, these reverses could open a new line of debate around if Xavi Hernández will finish the campaign like trainer of the club or if this would finish precipitating, already was his resignation before the term that pactó or his dismissal. In this last case, the president of the FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, has showed firm around his position.

The posture of Joan Laporta around the permanence of Xavi

The maximum representative of the Barcelona institution, as it aims 'SPORT', has left clear that, whatever happens, his unambiguous decision is the one to keep to the egarense in the charge until 30 June, conscious that when giving him that 'espaldarazo' to the of Terrassa could generate an atmosphere of tranquility so much in the technician as in the staff. This yes, as it sustains the referred source, Laporta expects that the cast of the Catalan capital salde with solvency these meetings, since if no, the situation would become 'irrespirable'.

From the FC Barcelona expect that the team have a conclusive reaction that serve them to impose to a Celtic of Vigo very near of the places of descent (17°) and that comes to add three defeats in his last five duels. Same case with the Napoli (10° in the Series To), that comes showing a quite irregular performance in the Italian tournament and to the cual could him take out a positive result and encarrilar the eliminatory with seen to classify to the quarter-finals of the Champions, instance where expects that the Barça can have presence.

However, the 'ghost' of the possible defeats follows there present. It will be necessary to see if, in case to arouse , Joan Laporta follows keeping what up to now seems an immovable posture or if Xavi Hernández finishes advancing his resignation, a stage little valorable in the club, given the negative impact so much to sportive level as to institutional level that this could generate.
