Calendar of FC Barcelona

The 2024 will be a transcendental year for the sportive project that leads Xavi Hernández in the FC Barcelona. The toneless first-half of season of the Barcelona group has given to advance to the eighth of final of Champions for the first time in two years, but no to compete in LaLiga. With a deficit of seven points regarding the Real Madrid, the team knows that it can not allow more errors if it does not want to sack of the title in January.

With the Glass of Rey and the Supercopa Spanish in half, the Barça will have a very demanding month to begin the year and Xavi has clear that, to see again the best version of his directed, does not remain another that put hard hand. The team has to recover the style with a greater requirement from the trainings, rotations wiser, become attached to the meritocracia and no to the names and a more direct speech that the one of Terrassa already has showed in his last press conferences.

The keys for the resurgir of the Barça of Xavi

In this sense, Xavi will have to work much more in the diagram and the escogencia of roles. The 4-3-3 seems innegociable to these heights, considering what there is available in the staff after the injury of Gavi and the physical problems of Pedri. Still like this, to the team has seen him many times without ideas and the key goes through to recover the balance so much in defence as in the centre of the field.

From here that the selection of the players was fundamental to obtain the results expected. Further of the label of 'titularísimos' that they can have to these heights players as I Cancel, Joao Félix or Lewandowski, the technical body has to leave clear that, from this time on, will play those who are in better form, line by line and those who better adapt to the needs of the team. With the arrival of Vitor Roque, 'Lewy' will have an extra pressure to wake up.

Xavi already warned to the staff during the duel against the Almería

In the last official party of the year, against the Almería in Montjuïc, Xavi already warned to the staff of what can come for 2024. "The first part is unacceptable, have said it to him to the players in the rest. It is missing us effectiveness, but it is necessary to have aggressiveness and soul. Like trainer, do not accept it. Or we run like animals or does not arrive us", argued after the suffered victory by the minimum (3-2) in front of the colista of LaLiga.

This 'touch' to the footballers can be a turning point for what comes in 2024. A technical body less permisivo with the referents, more demanding in the day in day out and focused in aceitar an idea of game that, to these heights, would not have to generate doubts in thefield . Afterwards the things can go out with more or less brilliance, but Xavi can not allow more performances desconcertantes of his Barça in January. With all the titles at stake, the margin of error will be minimum and, in front of the first big fuss, the managerial can take conclusive decisions and so much the trainer like the players know it.
