Of the hand of Xavi Hernández, the FC Barcelona looks for to convert again in a competitive team, with possibilities of titles, after the failures of the last years, especially in the Champions. In Europe has seen clearly that the team had descended a few stairs, being unable to compete with the others big of the tournament.
Managers there have been many, but regarding the terrain of game the most distinguished have been this old policeman, these holy cows, that have not yielded still his weight in the team by the fault of reliefs to separate them. Busquets, Hammered, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto, the captains of a Barça successful in the past, now look for reencontrarse with his best version together with the arrival of a lot of new faces.
The four will be still in the staff and face one of the most demanding seasons of his lives probably. They know that they will be observed with lupa if the things go badly, because they carry several years holding the pressure to feel signalled by his experience, his high payrolls and a performance with a lot of altibajos in the field product of the logical step of the time.
Xavi has shared changing room with all and knows what can demand them. The technician did not have objections in saying him to Hammered that it put the batteries, that centred in the football. The central will compete in the centre of the defence with Araujo, Eric, Christensen and, if possible, Koundé or another central. Busquets, without natural relief in the staff, will go back to be a referential player from his position of mediocentro this season, that has paints to be the last in which it dress like Barcelona.
With Jordi Alba happens something similar that with 'Busi' without having any player for now in the staff that do him competition. His performance is well, more in attack that in defence, but the Barça understands that it already goes being time to have to somebody that really put him pressure or that it can separate him of the titularity. Therefore the intention to bring to Marcos Alonso, a defence with quality and with experience in a big also.
Last case
In the case of Sergi Roberto, anybody argues that it has saved it Xavi. It finish agreement and the sportive direction did not want to offer him the renewal afterwards that the player refused the first proposal that did him. In front of the insistence of the technician and the wish to retain to the player, at the end arrived to an agreement so that it followed a season more.
