The drastic change of Xavi's squad since his debut

Xavi debuted recently more than a year like trainer of the FC Barcelona. That 20 November 2021 the technician egarense confronted to the Espanyol, the rival that will have the culés this next 31 December in what it will mark the return of LaLiga after what went the World-wide of Qatar. In that party the triumph was of 1-0 with a penalti more than doubtful, but especially with a staff that did not allow much more.

Something that the trainer will not be able to, and surely neither would want to do it, is to repeat the first alignment that took out like míster of the Barça. That day Xavi put from the beginning to Ter Stegen, Mingueza, Eric Garcia, Hammered and Alba in defence, beside a midfield with Busquets, Nico, Of Jong and Gavi; in addition to an attack with Illias (debuting) and Memphis. Already in the second time the technician did to go in to the field of game to Abde, Coutinho, Riqui Puig, Yusuf Demir and Araújo.

Ronald Koeman had left to the team in the half of the table with these same players, understanding that by that moment Pedri, Dembélé and Ansu Fati were lesionados during several weeks. Besides, Xavi found with that Sergio Agüero had withdrawn of the football by fault of his heart and the options of attack were increasingly reduced.

Now, almost 14 months afterwards and if it did not go by the sanction to Lewandowski, Xavi would have now to his staff to the complete. Of that eleven in front of the also Catalan team, Hammered has withdrawn , Mingueza left to the Celtic, Nico is yielded in Valencia and Illias Akhomach keeps growing in the Barça B, knowing already all very well that the player is for the first team.

Yes there is alternative

Like this then , for the derbi of the day 31 in the Camp Nou to the 14:00, the Barcelona technician will have available a much more competitive team and that besides already has several months of work. With the return of Dembélé recently, the attack of the team culé surely was led by Ansu and Ferran, with Memphis and Raphinha like the others main options.
