I was sceptical of Xavi when he was appointed, but from my view he has done a tremendous job in very difficult circumstances, with a board that has been undermining him constantly. Barcelona is in no state to compete with Madrid at the minute and the fact that he won a title in his first year was insane.
Absolutely agree. I didn't like the hire initially because many clubs were hiring former club legends who didn't have much managerial experience and I put him in that category because his only managerial experience was in Qatar.
But within a week I changed my mind after his introductory press conferences where he stated his ambitions and coaching methods, plus, his tactics were such an upgrade over Koemans. Ever since then he's stabilized a continuouly unstable ship. We are simply not gonna get a better replacement if we sack him, Klopp is not coming here
They will keep having issues with the team until they realize the problem is the club’s board
The “YOURE FUCKING BROKE” had me fr 😔
Bro's coaching job at barca is like that key and peele skit with the chefs
The way barca board and the fam base treated Xavi in the past 2 years has honestly been nothing but disgusting. I hope the man finds a club that appreciates him and treats him with more respect.
not the entire fanbase. im pretty sure the local community of barcelona is still heavily supporting xavi. the international community, idk maybe 50/50. but laporta and his antics have been the same since way back during his first tenure in the late 2000s. the only difference is that he wasn't being this blatant about it back then and Barcelona started turning their fortunes around too with Messi and pep, which meant he didn't have to go so far either. also yeah, not just Barcelona but most Spanish clubs are dominated by politics within/surrounding the club. it's what happens when you are a club of that size
I've been arguing with xavi haters since he returned as coach, but the opinions shift back and forth depending on how the latest game went.
This has been a massive slap to Xavi's face and to those who respect him.
Especially given he WON THE LEAGUE
@@Ceabrus74 as a Barca fan I'm disgusted at what I have been seeing from our fan base online it's sickening
this is the least surprising title I have read today
Theres about to be at least one weird manager decision zealandism a day at this rate
Bro the caption killed 😂😂😂 "real housewives of Barcelona"😂😂
Barcelona and Bayern don’t do themselves any favors lately. Flick will be the new Barcelona Boss as it seems
Watching Zealandism about Barcelona remind me how fucked my club
Should’ve copyrighted that comment 😒
I’ve just read his response on your comment and then refreshed the page and this new video popped up 😂
Un-freaking-believable!
Mastered the art of timing
La Pausa
What happened?
I need a captain to explain please
As a Barca supporter, I'm just praying the Spanish media is taking us for a ride. Xavi is the best manager Barca can have at this moment.
I’ve been binge watching these videos for the last week, amazing stuff
My friends son plays for Stoke City u11s, and they just beat Barcelona 2-0 in a tournament in Switzerland. Stoke finished 3rd overall, not sure where Barcelona ended up. The next generation may not be as strong as the one currently coming through
I think I am starting to like this channel more than the primary one xD
It's the same problem Ange has at Spurs (and the previous 3 or so Spurs managers), Rafa had at Newcastle, I'm sure a dozen other people I can't remember off the top of my head. When clubs are corporate entities that aren't _really_ bothered if they finish 1st or 3rd or 5th, they don't want you speaking bad about the way things are being run. It doesn't matter how good a manager you are, these are not football people in charge of these things anymore. Oil-state ran clubs suck, but at least they actually want to win things, even if the reason is just to make their regimes look good.
I completely diaagree with that statement in fact I think they are opposites even:
For Daniel Levy, the financial security goes first, which is why he often doesn't make transfers that are too expensive, he even went an entire summer not signing anyone. If Levy was in charge of Barca he wouldn't sign a single player and they would finish fourth or fifth
The Barca board on the other hand is delusional about their own financial situation and wants to throw their future financial security away for any piece of success. They want the biggest trophies and the biggest signings.
So you are in fact right about coorperate clubs like Spurs, where being successful enough and making money is the goal and they are incentivised to be cautious. But Barca is a public club ownded by it's fans, so the goal of the president is to get reelected, meaning that the ultimate goal is to please the fans, which Laporta seems to think means chasing big transfers, making risky financial decisions and trying to win trophies however unsustaibable it may be
I actually didn't know Barca was fan-owned, but I still don't think It's anything to do with do they or don't they spend, or even can they or can they not spend. It's just that these people don't like being criticized from within their own camp. They want good little managers who tow the party line. Elected or no doesn't really change the fact that someone in charge got his ego hurt and did this as a reaction. I have no doubt that Ange is only still at Spurs because it would cost more to get rid of him and he's cheap relative to other managers. Levy is one of the rare few who is tight enough to care more about the bottom-line than he does about words. But that doesn't mean anything is going to change culturally at Spurs, no matter how much Ange tells them it needs to.
@@VodkaHellstorm Xavi didn't even criticize, all he said is we don't have any money to spend so it's really hard, just a fact outlining the situation.
@@tomatoisnotafruit5670 True, even us Barca fans weren't bothered by it. We already knew the truth.
@@tomatoisnotafruit5670 Yeah, but it doesn't really matter to those sorts of people if it's actual criticism or just pointing out a negative truth about the institution.
this is why i love your channel, even when it means nothing to do, you can admit when you’re in the wrong for something so small ❤️
Love the siren in the background
Read this and thought you were talking about me. And then I realized that made no sense.
The Europa League Zealanddd🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Hey Zealand, thanks for the consistent uploads. Loving this channel, as well as Zealand live
In ten years we will remember this time as the “football manager cataclysmic event”
Finally the zealand take on the barca saga. Cant wait for the take on bayerns trainersearch as soon as there are news
The way the fans and the Media treat Xavi you wouldn't believe he won La Liga last year.
5:25
It’s actually not direct contrast since beginning of time. Barcelona began their biggest success in early 90s with buying world class talents and players (“the Dream Team”) which continued till early 2000s, meanwhile in the previous decades (70s-80s) Real Madrid has been dominating Spain with a lot more of homegrown players, most notably the Quinta del Buitre group of academy players.
Best channel fr
The moment I heard Xavi might leave, I came to youtube to check if Zealand had made a video on it.
And after like a week it finally came.
I would love to see a Caleb Hammer and Laporta episode, just imagine the facepalms.
Xavi wants what is best for the club. First time he departed was because he thought that was the right thing to do overall. And he would not be in the way, for someone who could get them out the slump.
I love lamp.
7:12 neee naawww!!
I am a life long Barcelona fan, give Xavi time. Lean into La Masia, one of the club’s greatest strengths. A core of very good, very young players is developing under Xavi. He’s done a great job considering he is still a young coach himself. And, if ever there was a coach that embodies “The Barcelona Way”, it’s Xavi. People forget that he pulled this team from the depths of dispair and made them La Liga Champions. I haven’t even mentioned the small pool of available managers; if Xavi goes, who are we gonna get? So we need to have some patiences, get the finances in order, let the youth develop with Xavi, and allow La Masia to be our flagship twards success, the way it once was. I believe in Xavi. Forca Barca 💙❤️💙
As a long time barcelona fan most of the news around the club are leaked from the club to the catalonia media to push an agenda like what they did with marquez is the next barça coach so the fans calm down and accept xavi to stay so its obvious that they are trying to hide something that's why all this xavi will be sacked talk we are to used to this it doesn't make any sense that a coach will get sacked after saying something every person knows so im certain that xavi will still be the manager for next season
aaaaaand hes sacked
im just waiting for the follow up :D
I feel bad for Xavi in the sense that he’s a club legend and I hope this stint didn’t taint his legacy with the club. He obviously did his best for Barcelona, as he always has. It just didn’t work out this time, because the club has bigger issues than just a coach. I doubt the next manager will magically fix everything, maybe then they’ll understand.
what comes next Zea ?
There are talks of a No Confidence vote on Laporta, similar to what Bartomeu had to deal with before he resigned. If that passes, Laporta would be forced to step down from his post, and elections would have to be called within a certain timeframe. Whether that's true or not, I'm not sure.
What I am sure of is that Barca is already having meetings with coaches, specifically Hansi Flick, and this is while Xavi is still employed by Barca for another year, and it costs €18M to fire him.
Xavi has said that he will settle for no wages with the condition that all his staff would get paid
Hansi Flick is a good shout. Not sure is the best pairing, but the guy had a great tenure at Bayern
Zea just dropping the only financial advice on the internet you can trust
"If you always spend more than you earn, you will always stay broke"
Zealand is missing that the 'financial levers' thing was put to the club membership for a vote (essentially fans who have paid a bit to be able to vote in the presidential elections), and they voted for it. So the fan base weren't willing to take the medicine and ride out the financial legacy of Bartomeu .
Should be mandatory for these presidents should repeat the mantra "Més que un club" every morning to remind themselves not to let their ego go above the club.
Please make a video about Lorients almost miracle, where they won 5-0 to get even on goal difference but still got relegated (day 5)
I had no idea, that Barca was in financial difficulties. I’m shocked.
Aaaaand he's gone
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Xavi was fired.
Dafuck, Barça?
Oh well time to make the video about the europa league final. If you know , you know
The words of Xavi that got the board so riled up were an absolute nothing burger to us Barca fans, everything he said we already knew. It just doesn't make sense to anyone but perhaps its a sign of the continued power struggle that seems to be going on between Xavi & Deco.
I wouldn't be surprised. Or think it would be a bad decision. They wanted Xavi to stay because they knew that there were no other options. Maybe that has changed in the last couple of weeks. Maybe they convinced Klopp somehow. Maybe De Zerbi will be brought in. Heck, maybe they wanted Pochettino from the start. Or Tuchel (yeah, right). It would be non-news, is what I'm saying
Sounds like Zeeiand needs to speak to our congress.
"Because you're fucking broke!"
"And if you spend more than you make, youll always be broke".
😂😂
While absolute spot on for a football club, this does not actually work the same for national entities. I know it sounds like common sense: "spend less than you make" but it doesn't work that way. I know, I know- fiscal discipline and making comparisons to businesses is very easy to make, but it's simply not all that relevant
Debt to income (mostly taxes) is the gold standard metric for financial health of a country. As long as that ratio is in manageable range, then its relatively ok. Cause like... no one is going to call in a financially significant country's debt because any country that does that will basically only tank their own economy in return.
government has a powerful ability that no private entity will ever, ever do: spend at a loss for the public good.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk
@@jamesbaurus5928 Very few people spend less than they make. They just finance their house for 30 years. Also, the US has the huge advantage of being the world's reserve currency
@jamesbaurus5928 Yes, having our number expense be interest payments is definitely ok. In fact we should just double or triple it, furthering our deficit.
You are one of those people that think leasing a car is superior to owning it ain't you? 🤣🤣
Xavi should stay, his the best for the youngsters. The future for Barcelona is not flashy new signings, but the La Masia academy.
As a barca fan who always backed him im not sure its the best rn tbh. Always defended hin but certain choices have been questionable
No Frog 🐸 😢
good
You’re definitely an anchor of some sorts 😉
A little strange that Poch is out at Chelsea, then all of a sudden Xavi is out too. Feeds into my theory that Poch is going to Barca.
Xavi to Chelsea and Poch to Barca?
@@Bejrika Possibly. I could also see Chelsea going with Flick. It’s just oddly timed to me. If Barca was making the move to keep Xavi because no other coaches were available, then all of a sudden Poch is available, it just seems like this has been cooking, but didn’t start cooking until LaPorta said Xavi was staying.
EDIT: and Poch leaving by mutual consent instead of being fired… really makes you wonder
Kindly elaborate on said theory 🤔
@@lyonkennedy4892 Basically that Barca begged Xavi to stay since they couldn’t find another good coach. Then they find out Poch may not stay at Chelsea, despite leading them back to 6th. Barca’s people reach out to Poch’s people. Poch and Chelsea, who both aren’t happy with the situation, decide to separate by mutual consent and he ends up at Barca. That would help explain the about face by LaPorta.
Though I could also see Ange ending up at Barca too.
@@Meatwad440 interesting theory to say the least but I’m pretty sure the Barca and Chelsea dramas are completely coincidental; it’d be more likely that De Zerbi’s departure from Brighton stirred it up as Barca have had reasonable links to him recently. Also don’t see Ange leaving Spurs as he seems committed to being the one to bring them glory.
Barca is too scared to not have the biggest names, they should totally chill out for a year.
I’ve been saying that for years.
Lets see if the clownshow continues and Xavi ends up as bayern munich coach. That would be super funny
Barca is surely using the editor to increase PA, professionalism and ambition on their youngsters.
Bro didn't say that honesty is the best policy 😭
Barca, Debt? Yes!
Zealand for Barca manager.
im pretty sure the goal of laporta is to create a false narrative of Barcelona returning to its heights to attract sponsors/customers to combat their financial situation. like the way he has always functioned even back during his first tenure was to use sweet lies to manipulate the crowd and try to fix things in the background and start snowballing upwards before everyone caught on. that's why he put so much trust in xavi because he probably believed he could be the second coming of pep, and when xavi proved that he could win the title in his first full season, he made it his mission to gamble even harder on him and provide him with even more players. when that ultimately failed with Barcelona now going through a trophyless season and sponsors and fans alike realizing this was a pipe dream sold to them by laporta, he is now more desperate than ever to keep that positive image in mind. luckily for him, Barcelona does have a really young team coming up and everyone can see their potential, so things are still relatively stable for the timebeing but then xavi coming out with his truth bombs and essentially undermining everything he has been trying to do by being the first person from the club to publicly inform everyone, sponsors and fans alike, that they don't have what it takes to compete with the best really pissed him off. in his mind, xavi would be better off not saying anything and let them handle the talks in the background, no matter if people believed it or not, because never having an official member of the club come out with these types of statements keeps that seed of doubt in the public's minds that hey, maybe it's all just media noise making all these anti-barca propaganda. but xavi coming out with these statements basically confirmed everything the media has been saying about Barcelona and this confirmed that laporta has been selling dreams to everyone.
now granted, I'm trying to be partial to him but I really dislike laporta. I've never liked the way he threw some of the younger players under the bus (ilaix moriba) and even how he treated ronald koeman. it felt justified for many fans back then with these two specifically because they developed a dislike for them one way or another, but the fact that he was willing to do this means there's probably no one safe from his antics and I always felt uneasy. and when it finally happened to messi, I fully understood the lengths he was going to go to do the things he thinks is right. if he was going to do this to practically the messiah of Barcelona, no one in the club is safe. and the worst part is he betrayed messis trust in him too to make an example out of him for the rest, as right before cutting messi from the team, he openly states "losses will have consequences now" in an attempt to scare the Barcelona team into playing better for the next season. its truly scummy stuff all the way through.
You know what I hate. Barca fans are going online claiming that La Liga and the world are doing everything they can to bring down Barca.
Yall are already doing that yourselves
It's a mix of both. La Ligas president Javier Tebas is an admitted Real Madrid supporter but also, Laporta has been making the same mistakes as Bartameou to a slightly lesser extent
Barcelona cannot afford to get rid of Xavi, like literally, They can't financially afford it lmao and even if they could, they can't get anyone who would do better than him.
I doubt they will get rid of him. This is probably just a case of Laporta having a little outburst and the media jumping all over it for easy clicks. Would be extremely foolish to get rid of Xavi right now, especially for such a literal non issue.
Given these media outlets, it's totally believable that these reactions from the club suits are made up.
Given we're talking Barcelona, however, totally believable it's true!
Why oh why are certain countries so absolutely emotional and nutty?? Spain, Italy, etc...
From the presidents point of view it puts them in a weaker negotiating position for buying/selling players if the manager is coming out saying they have no money. It is well documented they are financially struggling but the comments don't help.
Zealand talks about Barcelona like they still have Messi. A lot of their sponsorship money was because of Messi not because of Barcelona
Please look at joao felix contract and if you find it interesting make a video please.
The "real" housewives of Barcelona, z you aint beating the allegations
You'd think Barcelona would treat a club legend like Xavi a lot better than they are treating him.
Everyday I’m reminded of why Pep only signed 1-year contracts with this club. Absolute joke board members🤡
As someone from Spain, I know Laporta just wants the fans to believe in his nonsense. He won the elections with the promise of Messi staying(he didn't), he has also promised to signed multiple top player(they didn't apart from free transfers).
Some media that is believed to be payed by Barcelona has said multiple times they rejected 100-200M offers for their young talent like Lamine, something that if true would get rid of most of the troubles that they have financially.
And Xavi had always been by his side saying things that would satisfy the fans but where untrue and the one time he said the truth they were mad.
Some Barcelona friends I have, they just want Xavi to be fired, cause the board has now lost faith in him and is better to get rid of him now than when the season starts again and they perform bad on some matches.
100- 200 is a big range, I can see them rejecting 100 but not 200 million.
For 200+ million you sell the player no matter who it is unless it's Messi
@@tomatoisnotafruit5670 that's what we all think, but multiple media reported that they rejected 200M for lamine from psg. and several 60 to 100 M for raphina, Gavi or pedri. all of that seems weird as it would help the club more than nothing eventough you lose a good player.
Get him at Chlesea, get him a project. I'd give Xavi 2 free seasons.
the thing is that laporta doesnt care he just wants a reason to sack Xavi idk why but as long as flick comes i do not give a fuck
Problem is laporta thinks he needs to buy players so the fans vote him to be president again and is afraid to have a couple of down years to stabilize the club. What a mess my club is
I always loved Barca more than Madrid but they need one more Perez ASAP🙂
Xavi has just bruised a few egos, that's the problem he said it how it is and they don't like that
prolly after seeing Pochettino is free Barca will be like hold up, let's get rid Xavi now
“Barca develops their players” is a lie. Peep the net spends between Madrid and Barca. Especially recently
Well he has gone.
Where's the bayer Leverkusen losing video 👀
Laporta gambled with hiring an inexperienced coach and an inexperienced, bum sporting director who don't see eye to eye. Only an idiot would think that the club would keep winning with this kind of fractures in the club. Deco is the one who's more expendable imo and should be fired
You spelled Brokelona wrong
Come up with something new kid
I had faith in Joan Laporta when he came back but he's been only slightly better than Bartameo
😮
From Madrid is hoped the 3 clowns (xavi,Deco,Laporta) never leave 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Barcelona is so poorly run at the moment. Xavi doesn’t help, he doesn’t know how to talk to the media. What were they doing badmouthing roque junior on the way out?
Wtf
Yeah, it’s stupid, but is it as stupid as Kompany for Munich?
No views in 46 seconds? Let him cook
That guy in the comment section in the last vid was so close to getting the name of this vid right
Barcelona today are still ran by clowns even after the biggest clown of them all Bartomeu left. One minute Xavi was gone, the next minute he stays and now he could be sacked for speaking the truth. And I thought Manchester United are the biggest circus in Europe.
on one hand american sports fans are maybe too comfortable with their teams being ass but europeans have less tolerance for the idea of a "rebuild" than they should
Fans are fans bro. We all descended from the original ZeaMan from the Garden of Zea, where Sheik Mansour ate from the forbidden tree of FFP. We're all the same, see? Didn't mean to make it rhyme, G, that's just how I be.
Laporta is a Clown
Futbol Clowns Barcelona
i dont care about views, my man isn't fell out.
Barca is actually not real
Hala madrid
Xavi best head coach? Wtf Xavi is so weak
Barca don’t have the best academy in the world tho
Xavi out. De Zerbi in.
You're not an Anchor Z. You're a BWM.
