Xavi's tremendous scoring data for Barça in the last 11 games

Xavi has given a radical change to the style of game of the FC Barcelona. The form to play of the team remembers a lot to that glorious group of the that the current trainer formed part and with which 'tired' to win of titles. It is an attractive football, of long possessions but no barren, and versatile when the party requires it. No tight in an alone system, and the diverse variants proposed by the technician culé work almost to perfection.

The most striking is the capacity of goal that has the square. With Ronald Koeman to the control, east was the main problem. Under the orders of the Dutch, the team annotated 18 goals in 15 parties, an average of 1,2 so many by meetings. Numbers very poor for a team accustomed to win with forcefulness. Now, said forcefulness seems to have returned with Xavi. The team has an average of 1,9 goals by crash, annotating 45 goals in 25 duels. Almost the double that the achieved with the 'sergeant'.

In addition to this, the Barça has won by 4 goals in 6 meetings of the 11 last contested. His victims were the Athletic of Madrid (4-2), as local; Valencia (1-4) in Mestalla; Naples (2-4) in Diego Armando Maradona; Athletic Club (4-0) and Osasuna (4-0) in the Camp Nou; 4-0 and the útima, and more important, The Real Madrid (0-4) in Santiago Bernabéu. Besides, the goleadas propiciadas to Valencia, Naples and Athletic, went of consecutive way in a term of 8 days.

These numbers show the overwhelming that can become the picture directed by Xavi, especially, in parties where the 'popes burn'. A competitive gene that has known to implant him to the staff the one of Terrassa, that has known to win to big teams of form avasallante, what leaves clear that this square has a grandísimo potential. In LaLiga, the Catalans are the second team with more goals annotated (56), to alone 3 so many of the Real Madrid (59) and with a party less.

The defence, the weak point

However, at all it can be perfect. The 'heel of Achilles' of the directed by Hernández finds in the retaguardia. The Barça has received 28 so many in the 25 meetings directed by the egarense. But what concerns is that to the team arrive him with an enormous ease, and if the contrary is in a 'good day', can do him a lot of damage. Xavi still has work that do, but the future has good 'paint'.
