- Xavi spoke out after Barcelona were knocked out of the Copa del Rey against Athletic Club in extra-time, after goals from Inaki Williams and Nico Williams. What do you make of the reactions of Xavi and Joan Laporta?

I don't understand anything anymore...
Xavi really came to the conclusion that in extra time when we need a goal that this team was missing sergi roberto as our captain😂. Joke of a coach smh trophyless season now that we lost copa del rey
Trophyless seasom now that we have lost copa del rey smh
How many times will we complain about similar words said, similar performances
We’re not broken clocks
I think he was referring to the youngsters like Yamal, Cubarsí, Hector Fort and Guiu. No need to make big fuss out of every word Xavi says.
I think what barca needs is Wayne Rooney as Manager. He would have the chance to redeem his career with his fiery aggression, and Barca can benefit from that vital experience. They also need a reinforcement like Harry Maguire. Man Utd has been his problem, before that he was good. He can redeem himself at Barca imo. Speaking of the finishing department, someone who boasts strength and has several goals under his belt, like Romelu Lukaku should be a big priority signing for Barca. Loris Karius has proven to be a good backup goalie despite some lapses, so he could be an option to support Ter Stegen and Pena. Lingard is offering himself to Barca and has been hard at work, so for midfield, Barca could go for that option too. Could be a gamble that pays off big time. Win-win for both
Tbh I thought he was referring to the fact that youngsters like Yamal, Fort, and Cubarsi really showed their potential yesterday.
Same. Also idk what else people expected him to say "we're bad and we're gonna give up La Liga and the Champions League" like ofc he's going to stay optimistic, it's just pr
So he wanna bet on kids now. How many more kids he wants to be injured. Yamal did play well. But at the end missed two easy chances of goals .
@@XYZ-tx9id yes, but to show the promise that yamal, fort, and cubarsi showed at they’re age, imagine them in two-three years time. Every youngster needs the time, and they’ve only just begun.
@@XYZ-tx9id so what should he do? Can the club buy him players? No. Can he do a miracle and heal all our injury? NO
@@XYZ-tx9idcome you guys are confused one day you want him to use the young players now you don't want him to use said players
He's obviously referring to all the young kids who played yesterday. He means since we basically have nothing left to play for we will be seeing more of these kids. Not everything has to be negative.
agreed. if lamine scored any one of those 2 missed chances, we wouldve won and jamie would be rejoicing right now, or maybe not, starting to think all this negativity is intentional, this guy a madrid fan?
Thats what I was thinking
@@Steve-vo9yklot of woulda huh… that’s life for you it’s a stream of two pathways you go left and get a different reaction from going right.. that’s just life when you succeed you celebrate when you fail you become self critical!
you’re not thinking , there’s this thing called nuance and that was absolutely not the right way or time to make such a statement. you don’t announce a wedding at a funeral just because it’s positive news .

"We won 8 League titles in 11 years! We do not give it the value it deserves but over the years we will see how difficult it was.” - Lionel Messi
Can’t say he didn’t warned us after they’ve spoiled us.
This was classic...
Messi is indeed genius in and off the pitch
Well, ofc you can't win 8 titles in 11 years all the time, but at least you can't say thing like pride in defeat, we played in away, it was hard... etc
Our players, coach and whole board has 0 mentality to acutally put excuses aside, they only blame others. You never saw Messi, Puyol or Guardiola doing that, and that is one of the reasons we were successful back then...
yeap, and talkfcb expects barca to win every year after bartomeu destroyed us for all those years
Yep
Fans won't hear this, one bad season, and they want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
@@Steve-vo9yk We atleast expect the team to not comcede within a minute, and show winning mentality.
Xavi said that if he doesn't win any major titles he is going to leave Barca.
Means this is his final season
@@sebastiandjohan8291 it could be
Well we get a new manager summer then
@@le-rhonemiller8902 Sergi Roberto as player-manager 🤣
the fact that this decision is even in his own hands is a disgrace. Any serious club with a serious president who has ambition would’ve sacked him after this loss; in fact would’ve sacked 2-3 months ago…
Can we be realistic at this point. We have got to act in the best interests in the club and not one single individual.
He was doing fine when he came because we were really in a bad spot, and expectations were low. As we got some better players and the expectations rose, it came clear that he couldn't take us any further. One positive thing is that he gives the youngsters chance but on the other hand what they gonna learn from him if he can't get the best out of the veterans in this team. Next summer will be crucial for us. If we don't make the right decisions with who the next coach will be and which players he wants to stay, this will be the end of it. I still can't believe we mortgaged the club for one La Liga title and one super cup and we are in the same position from 3 years ago when Messi left in tears because we couldn't pay his wages. What disaster
I mean what did we expect, the guy came in with little to no experience. We only took him because no one else wanted to take the job
I dont agree,, we were playing a different style, it all changed when we got that polish guy with Ferran and Abu we could mobe better pass better and now Lewe is off even when he started scoring against weak teams we thought he was good ... he never actually clicked with the team.. one or two game with Jao and that was it... a few players must leave so he can play the barca style ... we beat real 4-0 we played now Lewe, is useless and he still starts and I dont even know what to say about Kounde.. did you see him play yesterday? he is nervous like he doesnt know what to do it all adds up and affect other players too
@hovgh1347 I agree 100%. Lewandowski was never going to fit the style we tray to play even in his prime. And in general, if you try to press high, it all starts from the front line and how you are going to do it with 35 year old striker. I watched Bayern Leverkusen the other day, man. They are playing exactly the football we want to play. They run a lot, pres high, quick passes all this with average players, but they all fit the profile you need to do that. Our problem is we were bringing whoever was available with a big name tag, not what we actually needed. As for Kounde, if it was up to me, I would sell him next summer and bring povot with the money. The same goes for Raphinha. All in all, it was very poor sporting planning. Xavi was the ideal caoch if we were trying to build a team with youngsters. For this team, you need a coach who can find balance with veterans and youngsters. A lot of this is Laporta's fault too.
well said,,, you mentioned the 3 players who raise my blood pressure everytime I see their name lol sporting director also plays a big role. you are right. but I also noticed we started playing differently after that friendly match against man city... I feel like something in Xavi changed he tried a different style long balls and I dont know how to explain it with Abu we played on the ground short passes and the movement was great.. I noticed lewe is a big baby he always nags and I am sure it gets to some players but Xavi wanted him maybe as you just said for the sake of having a big name but Abu was 100 times better and his energy, he had his game face on this guy doesnt even care if we are losing or winning and since we dont have many options Xavi seems to be putting him cause if he puts someone else then he has to bring lewe from the bench which is not an upgrade to anyone yes I thought they would say Raphina and lewe in jan but seems like it has to wait hopefully in summer these 3 plus cancelo, christinsen I dont mind selling gundegon or de jong to raise some money @@sase290388
True! I think that the damage has already been done and Xavi is only trying to manage the team.
Barca has always succeeded by playing along with a player who is an x-factor. We saw this with Messi playing for us. Whatever day Messi underplay is the day that Barcelona loses.
This is just that reality check for us to let people know what sort of expectations fans should have
I like that Xavi wanted to bring in Ferran, Gündo, Iñigo. We have built a good squad. I'd just like to see a more old school Barça coach, leaning more toward the total football tiki-taka rather than the positional, pass it in to the back of the net tiki-taka. You can have 60-80% possession while using only 10-30 quick passes in build-up and attack.
And I would personally like to see the false 9 make a comeback, we have Félix for it, and wingers who are great at finding spaces. It's perfect.
Bro what on earth do you think Total football is? Positional play is exactly what Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola played. Total football is positional play. Those coaches in their tenures at Barça had, relative to what we have now, much better teams.
Yall need to stop with this tiki-taka nonsense. tiki-taka is dead. There will never be another team good enough to play that way. We need to move on. evolve. adapt. You only need to look at Pep. He's assembled the best team in the world in recent years. Do they play tiki-taka?
@messicomps344 Total football is positional play, but it is a fast variant of it and a lot more fluid. Pep and especially Xavi are a lot more strict in players having assigned roles. While Cruyff was more fluid, always staying in shape but players could switch roles with each other. Cruyff is also more direct, while Pep and Xavi like to pass it into the back of the net. While they are heavily influenced by Cruyff, obviously, but Pep took possession and tiki-taka to another level. That difference is thr difference between total football and Spanish tiki-taka.
If you want a more extreme difference to make it easier in comparison, I'd suggest checking out Rijkaards old games and compare them to Pep. It was pre-Pep spanish tiki-taka. So Rijkaard was still using the traditional total football. After him, Pep came in and revolutionised the game.
We don't need to stop having our opinions, neither should you. I do think you are taking part of a massive misconception in football. Which is that old tactics and styles die out. They don't.
The best coaches today are using tactics from the 1920s and up. Look at Pep as an example. Using 3-2-2-3.
I think you should watch some of Cruyff and Rijkaards games. They are the perfect example of "modern" football. Very direct, fast tiki-taka, great positionally, and always in the ball because they win it back fast. Other coaches like Klopp and Flick have been successful this way, even Ten-Hag at Ajax.
@@joakim3213 you're living in the past bro. None of those examples have anything to do with what I said. There's a difference between position-heavy one touch passing and full on tiki-taka. tiki-taka in the way that we know it, just doesn't exist anymore. Just cuz teams play with high speed, high intensity, and high pressing, doesn't mean they're playing tiki-taka
I saw the title and I said "Dang he's gonna be so angry" lol. But being honest and Fair, Barca played better than any game this season "NOT RESULTS WISE" but the how the midfield were understanding each other and the ball was moving quite smoothly. There were MISTAKES however don't get me wrong, lots of them and many caused goals .. Lamine's for instance with Kounde and Penia with the header (He could have jumped for it easily and punched it). I think I have some hope that performance is gonna get better if we're injury safe to an extent.
no barca played exactly the same like previous games, they even conceded in 40seconds as always
Honesty this is what I’ve been thinking. The reaction from people is overwhelming because of recent performances and struggles and injuries but we’re finally starting to consistently score. We just need to sort out our defense badly it’s terrible terrible terrible this season
Yeah I agree, it's not a great display but a lot of things has been fixed. The team started to be less sterile and started scoring unlike before! ... defense however still sucks, we really really need a good CDM and Stegen back @@xxxxdddddss
For those who say, we've started to score, we had one lucky goal and one moment of individual brilliance. We had a total of 7 shots, against athleti's 27. How is our offense improved?
Midfeld was bad too. Gundo slow dawn the tempo and Pedri is so slow and De Jong cant defend 🤷♂️ no control att all. The whole game Bilbao was a better team and they deserved.
Xavi is destroying this team. He has to go.
Yes its Xavi's fault we missed 2 clear chances yesterday (no hate to Yamal). Yes its Xavi's fault that our defence goes to sleep in the first minute of the games everytime. Yes it's Xavi's fault that Pena does not come out for crosses which creates the first goal. Yes it's Xavi's fault that Frenkie lets his man drift away from him and gives him a free header.
Yes it's Xavi's fault that he has to field two 16 year old in our defensive line, it's Xavi's fault that CDR does not allow more than 3 B team players at any time.
Which top team right now is fielding a bunch of teenagers to play for them? Compare how much every top club favourite for the UCL have spent this season. How much did we spend? 3 MILLION.
What was the only demand Xavi had once Busi left ? To get him a proper world class CDM. Did we give him that ? NO. Even Man City struggle to win without Rodri.
Who were the players Xavi was desperate to keep this season? Busi, Alba and Dembele. Was it his fault that they decided to leave? And can't we now realise why Xavi wanted to keep them.
Then come the injuries. How many players have we got injured? MATS, Martinez, Cancelo, Christensen, Gavi, Raphina, Alonso. No team plays the same with this many injuries.
Name one manager who comes in right now and doesn't make the demands that Xavi is making - a proper CDM, maybe an extra midfielder, fullbacks, etc. No manager will be working their ass off under this much financial restriction.
Learn to value what you have got. And oh, yes Xavi should be coming out and openly say to the media that we can't compete for the league and the UCL ( because he must be a realist).
God bless you man❤
Feels so good reading a sensible comment
@@user-xt9sh5kz2xit’s sensible how? Because he’s backing a manager that happens to be an icon? Where were all these sensible comments when Koeman only got money for Dest across two summer transfer windows? You didn’t care then when we were losing games for the exact same reasons, it was the coach being inept but now that it’s Xavi we are going to act like a lot of these players aren’t what he wanted, we are going to act like we weren’t hyping all these signings when they were coming through the door? The only thing sensible about that comment is sentence structure because if Xavi was some no name brand with no ties to Barca he’d be gone.
Koeman didn't win us a league title 🏆
That should at least give him this season.. And he said himself that he will walk away if he can't turn it around.
Let's support our team in a time of need, not turn on them.
Please we seriously need a quality DM 😢
This summer is when get it we have to zubi or nothing
We need a new manager.
@@christopherbarthelus4625 he'll go to Arsenal if he even leaves La Real at all
First of all, Xavi has to go 🤷♂️ Xavi is destroying this team. The team need a great coach so they can start play football for god sake 🤬
Varcadogs are finished
Barca is not the same team as 10 years ago. Fans are expecting too much from a team crippled by injuries and now full of teenagers.
I have no doubt in Xavi's ability as a coach. The club should see Xavi a long term project rather than thinking short term and becoming another Man Utd.
Thank you for saying this. Our fans live in a bubble. They can't see how bad our finances are.
I think Xavi is referring to the progress of youngsters. If he had said we were worst and we didnot take chances, imagine what would do that to Lamine Yamal who missed two game defining chances??? Xavi knows its was bad but you dont want to discourage your 17yr old players who fought their best and are learning alot despite thier few mistakes. We are currently broke and we are relying on young players. So I guess thats why Xavi and Laporta are encouraging players cause they dont have other options right now.
Xavi have more than 200 million to spend on transfers (50 lewa, 60 ferran, 60 kounde, 60 raphina, 60 roque, etc..) because we sold all of our assets, chairs, grass, tv rights, studio, etc. to gave Xavi as many options as we could. In other hand, koeman are the one who experienced all these conditions, all he have is free transfers and b team players to boost his squad. But when koeman forced to play so many youngsters and lose, you guys blamed him for using youth as excuses, but when Xavi used youth and lose, you guys say Xavi is doing for the team, he got no other choices, etc…
@yulin7731 Bruh Koeman had nothing in his game
We were lucky we had grezman and messi clicking together else we were as creative as a doughnuts and was obsessed with bringing Netherlands yo Barcelona
Jamie. Let's relax a little. Did you realize we finished that game with a bunch ok kids with absolutely no experience when it comes to these situations. I forgive them simply because they showed heart and actually played better than most of the season. They need time. At least 2 more seasons, when the likes of Yamal, Gavi, Pedri, Balde, Curbasi have developed. Our team is very young and I'm proud of that. We need to have patience not only with the players but with the coach. Sometimes we need to take 1 step back to take 2 step forward. Playing this young kids is part of taking that step back in order for them to gain experience until they Unleash their full potential!!!
When u play with 3 under 18, it means u r building something.
The actual Barca is not a finished product so that u will ask for immediate results.
We faced a very strong team and we had chances to qualify. It’s a process.
Xavi said that he also lost many titles as a player. That process led him to the best Barca in History.
This teams needs support now. In 3 or 4 years those players can be world class.
And we lost to them last time in copa as well. They give it their all for this trophy as they have no other hopes and you cant beat a team like that if half your team is injured /recovering and your striker isnt in form.
I absolutely disagree with you. I saw for the first time a team that was able to dominate the ball and actually build from the défense and midfield by creating numerical advantages in key spaces in the midfield. Also a better flow in the way players showed up in open space. Fort and Kurbasi’s passing allowed us to move up the field more easily which allows to generate an attack starting further into the opposing teams half. My real issue now is the right winger but most importantly… our striker. I was never hot on Roque but I hope to God he proves us wrong.
Tbh TalkFCB just talks negatively no matter what. He will never focus on the positives
Dominate the ball😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@chaitanya6413you lie .. he has focus on positivity long enough this is becoming a trend
Dosent mean anything bc we lost and the next games and so on we’ll show no improvement inconsistency and lack of urgency kills this team
You watched the same game? Lol
If Xavi wasn't Xavi things would've been worse. Everyone respects him as a player and that's made it hard to turn on him.
While I agree that Barca should be fighting for all trophies possible out there, I also acknowledge that this team is still under a much heavier reconstruction process than previously thought.
When we think back to the glory days of the first team, we need to realize that the team was comprised of quite a few really big talents coming out of La Masia albeit with some very dominant players from outside as well. And seeing how these young players have performed in last night's game, I do have higher hopes for the future. I always thought Barca needs to look for talent within more than outside of the club. The current management team is starting to change this approach, and it's going to take time to pay off. I'm just hopeful that they will stick with that mentality and won't buckle to outside pressure to try and sign players from outside again to try and bring the glory of the past back.
I love xavi and if you can leave him alone he can do well
The fact that he thinks we’re actually competing for these trophies. So delusional
Xavi has to go. Hes not a good coach 🤷♂️ Thats it.
@@barcahebo.3637 agreed
Marc Gui should start from now on, we need someone who press opponent like him at front.
I think we actually played ok. At some point I felt pity for Xavi and the players. We fought hard, and if it wasn’t for missed chances, we would’ve won in regular time.
Hell, we were at a point when Pedri obsiously couldn’t continue, and the options off the bench were Roberto and Romeu, due to injuries and already having 3 teenagers in. I think it’s going to be a slower rebuild than we expected, but I do have hope for the future
Barca did play well today. Better than they’ve played in a long time. Had Lamine converted that chance he missed with his right foot; we likely would have been singing from a different hymn book. Visca Barca!
It’s so frustrating being a Barca fan right now.. Just as we thought we made some ground and showed character beating Betis, we then turn around and lose out on another trophy. I really don’t know what Xavi meant by “It’s a new Barca” but I feel like we are unfortunately going trophy less this season….😢
It's gonna last a little longer unfortunately. Buckle up.
I don't mind barca going trophyless this season as long as they give their all and play confident game. I haven't seen that so far.🥲🥲🥲And hoping teenagers to solve problems in the team, that is worse.
@@GenesiisDavid are you thinking Manchester United long time?
@@CJ-vj7pm yup, we could honestly be the next ac Milan. We need to sell players and get out from under this debt and rebuild from scratch with youth and an experienced coach or at least patient fans.
@@GenesiisDavidBarcelona can never be ac Milan, all they have to do is say they will sell the club and by tomorrow a rich Arab will come, ac Milan however simply has no market value like Barcelona
Xavi started off saying "tiki taka is no more ,the games more physical ", yet pep guardiola is still winning with tiki taka
I completely agree with everything Xavi said. We seem to be forgetting just how many things are going wrong for us as a club. There are things that are just completely out of Xavi's control. Almost every other game, we suffer from injuries, and for a very long time, we have not been able to play with a consistent 11. While we want to see wins and better performances, I think we need to continue to look ahead, see the positives for what they are, and focus on improving (which is what Xavi is doing).
Look at Real Madrid for instance... We can almost always predict their line up because they aren't dealing with the amount of injuries as us. They get to play their best 11 day in and out. This creates chemistry between their team, making it that much easier to play good football. Again, something we have not been able to do for a very long time.
Thoughts?
Xavi is not good enough to be barca coach, top coach's like kloop amd pep do get injuries but that doesn't stop them from wining games, firstly xavi is not a good tactician secondly he relys on individuals to win a games.
xavi did his best last season we won the league bcz none of the other teams were any good
@@mlungisimasondo3613 You cannot compare Klopp and Xavi when Xavi has only had 1 full season.
How are you comparing Klopp, someone managing the same club since 2015 (almost 10 years) to someone who just began coaching at the highest level of football.
Everyone starts somewhere, why are we bashing Xavi, when there a so many other factors that is completely out of his control.
For example, Xavi cannot control the many individual mistakes made by the players throughout that game. So again, why are we singling him out?
If Lamine had score that late game winner in the 85th minute, everyone would be praising the club. However, we are focusing on using Xavi as a scapegoat.
@@ARJUN-SS I find your statement very inaccurate. Xavi did try his best and we won last season because we were way better defensively than ever in recent years, conceding less and getting crucial wins. Real Madrid was still a very strong team last season.
@@Meeksz firstly xavi is not the coach you think he is, even when kloop started in 2015 at liverpool or even at dortmund you could see the had tactics and was able to "IMPROVE PLAYERS" , xavi can't improve players he wants finished product, e.g, he sent ansu fati aways bcoz he could not improve him, he just expected him to just comeback from injury and be on form. Secondly xavi relys on individual brilliance( that why he liked dembele). Summary is that European football is not like the Saudi football he was coaching. What makes it even shameful is that you are critising a 16 year expecting him to win a game( just imagine yamal is 16 and missing those chances is very much expected at his age don't blame a kid for xavi lack of team management).
No DMF or ball winner means that we will continue to struggle this season. Gavi, I miss you!
Most of you guys need to chill the fuck down and enjoy the small things in life. Lamines performance and goal was the happiest moment for me and 2 of my friends as barca fans for 5 years. Xavi is a legend of the club and he can see the bright light at the end of the tunnel. Can you?
He has to speak positively. You expect him to say: “yea, we are done. We are finished”? Man, sit down. We aren’t going anywhere with Xavi. He’s horrible.
@@PadmeGaveMeHIV i literally dont think the coach is the problem. You dopamine addicts just wanting a quick fix to everything is all that is wrong with the world at the moment. Sad to see
Xavi couldnt even see the bottle job in the 2nd half let alone the ‘bright light at the end of the tunnel’.
His performance? He scored a goal...finally! He's supposed to! Lewandowski scored a goal too. Did that make you happy? Yamal couldn't find the back of the net for most of the season, but he got a pass because, oh yes, he's only 16. That's what everyone keeps saying. Did you miss the 2nd half when he blew 2 gimme goals that could have won the match for Barca?? If that had been Lewy, Torres, or Felix, they would have been torn to shreds by you and your friends, along with most people. Just because "he's only 16" doesn't mean he gets a pass. This isn't a Pro-Am match where some random 16 year is plucked from a youth football team to play. He is playing in big time professional football. If he is good enough to start at 16, then he needs to face the same criticism as every other player. Scoring a goal finally but missing 2 gimme goals doesn't make you the "Wunderkid" as people like to call him.
Exactly, everyone losing their minds as if we lost to a woeful side. As if athletic weren't going at them full throttle. If Barca win, they aren't good enough It has to be beautiful, when they lose to anyone it's how tf could they all teams besides barca are supposed to be trash. This fan base is losing it.
We just miss Gavi, who always put in more energy and passion and we haven't found a solution to that yet
Xavi wasn't happy at all. He was, that's what I saw, impressed by the youngsters and said he was proud of them.
What I think: the energy from the young players is noticable and that gives me hope for the future. This season is done and I'm not angry or frustrated because now I saw a bit of what's coming next.
I don't think there is another coach that would have an easy time in barca. We cannot expect to win and dominate every single game when half our team is extremely young. Not to mention all the key players we lost since last season. This is pretty much a completely new barcelona team and it will take time for them to get used to playing with each other. Things take time and failure is required for growth. Xavi is doing fine in my opinion with the resources he has at his disposal and the drama surrounding the club. screaming Xavi out after every goal we concede due to individual player mistakes is not fair or correct in my opinion. As fans we need to understand that failure is inevitable in circumstances like the one we are currently in. Time is what is needed.
They need to drop Sergi Roberto he's trash and honestly cost us the game. He's dispossessed so easily and he can't do anything special with the ball
bomboclaat
Its like my study plan. Im going to start from the next day.
The team played well yesterday. We were unlucky to lose that game. I appreciate your content, Jamie, but I frequently get frustrated by your consistent barrage on our players and manager. We are all disappointed by the elimination but let's not sound like rival fans every time things don't go out way
you wanna know a reality xavi did his best last season that's was his best version as a coach he needs to leave now and get some experience and comeback later without his whole family we are terrible at everything even fourth division team's can beat us right now, i love xavi as a player but he needs to leave at the end of the season ✌🏽
@@ARJUN-SS Letting Xavi leave would be an enormous mistake for several reasons. First, who would we get in for the same wages or less than he is on? Who would be able to understand the dynamics of the team quick enough to turn the situation around quickly next season? Xavi needs to be given support. Last season was great, yes. This season, not so much. What we can't do is rush to call for the sacking of a coach after ONE bad season. Xavi does not get enough credit, not even from Barca fans, which I think is very sad
Xavi was rushed into coaching a big team no way around it. He has NO PLAN
He had plans but limited plans. He's so predictable now
You can't even make a plan let alone recognize another at a big club 😂.
Dude came in and won LaLiga the very next season, but I suppose like some delusional fans you think that is a given.
@@RoodBull_SAMA read my comment. He came in with a plan. He has exhausted all his tactics and he's now predictable. Coaches always improve their tactics as they go from season to season
@@joboy528 you have literally no idea what you are saying. you people think tactics is some file you download for football manager. Xavi knows more football than all of us commenting on this channel combined. let him work. anyone you bring in in his place will be worse. no new coach can implement a new system without new players and we have no money to buy anyone. let the team grow. we don't have players for a couple of positions, we have half the team injured and we're still in the CL and La Liga race. in my eyes, Barcelona is overachieving. Oh, I forgot, we're literally playing without a goalkeeper. Pena would not find a place in Segunda...
@@maximilianmitroi8545 please mention who is injured and how many players has he requested that he didn't get
To be honest, the barca we watched wasn't bad. The problem I have with Xavi is that when we score, we slow the game down, and we ALWAYS get punished for that. Every time we attack massively, we actually score. But the sitting back and allowing the other team to bring the pressure right is the only thing I HATE about Xavi's coaching. But to say the team wasn't playing well would be unfair. And in as much as we disappointed with the overall result, we must at least acknowledge that the team played way better, especially before extra time. During extra time, Xavi had no plan, he made subs that didn't help the team but rather just killed the chemistry that was there
we barely got out of that pathetic ucl group stage bud 😁
Let Xavi cook. Calm down and have patience god damn it. I swear some fans are so toxic and impatient. Pep said so and I believe it as well: Xavi is the best man for the job and he will regain our level
Hey jamie i really like the title of this video. Its like a friend provides me the news about the club. Thanks for your work 👍🏻
I don't care if we don't win any titles this year. I don't want Xavi to leave.
You are setting up a low bar for a Barca Manager.
Will you be ok to see the same struggle next season? There lies your answer.
@S1Shrestha No, I'm not. I just didn't come into this season with unrealistic expectations. If Xavi leaves and the next manager fails, you'll want him out as well, and so on and so on. It will be a repeated process. Més que un club. If all you care about are trophies, then support another club.
@@anthonyguajardo8627 Not sure what made you think I am only looking for trophies and should start supporting another club.
I am more interested in our identity as a club and winning comes along with that identity. I am not even saying Xavi should be fired, but he needs to take responsibility for our current struggles. He needs to drop his ego and make necessary changes, may be get rid of family members in the club, that could be a start.
Im hopeful! These youngsters really showed something i have not seen at this club in a very long time! A new era is on the way! Stay patient people! It will pay off!🤞🏻❤️
Normally, I listen to the entire video when it’s posted from this channel because it’s so informative… but because right from the get-go we got the Xavi quote, I will just go ahead and comment Xavi‘s vision and his plans are very different in their time phase and their expectation than the fans … the fans want wins now trophies now … but Xavi looks at it and says look how well our young talent did today and look how much better they’re going to be the next game and in the next game and next year, … Xavi isn’t concerned about the next 30 days he’s concept concerned about the next 2 to 3 years and if he’s developing that talent where it’s effective in games that’s a win ! look how many shots on goal Lamine Yamal had… missed three of them I believe but got one in … Levandoski scored a goal. We had many many chances and this is the same kind of thing Pep Guardiola had to look at when he first joined Barca as the coach … and Cruyuff the same…he wasn’t concerned about the match they just lost. He thought … that’s a great game because he saw specifics that he liked he knew he could build on that and that’s where Xavi is going with his thought process.
He meant that this group of youngsters will manage to break through… and is destined for greatness..in a way it was also a deserved compliment towards Yamal, Fort and Cubarsi! …
Bro he also said if we don't end the season in a competitive way I'll have to leave and I know where I am
Xavi's comment is basically about the youngsters, he wasn't happy about the results it showed clearly on his face. Encouragement is the best way to tell them they didn't do well
Thank you Jamie for your honesty. That's hard to come by these days.
Jamie you need to sit down, we played well, our intensity was amazing yesterday, bro I actually enjoyed watching barca play yesterday, if yamal put those chances away were still in it.
Lol. I said from first day Xavi is not the right manager. Barcelona is a soft club. And it shows in the field as well.
All the players are talented, skilled, have qualities but Xavi is the man responsible for not putting them in an environment where they can all shine. Im reading reports that some players are starting to have arguments with xavi in the dressing room and if that’s the case it doesn’t look good for xavi. If it’s between these great players leaving or an average manager like xavi leaving, xavi will leave first
This is what I was pissed about yesterday more than the result his post game conferences are not it
I love Xavi but I feel we should start considering other potential candidates for his position. We have to grow and win more titles that’s what all counts
I don't even recognize the club as a whole anymore.
Before, it was "more than a club". Now, its just another club.
I am very much angry and disappointed in this club . Every day he says the same shit . Accept the fact guys we are next United and Chelsea ( surprisingly Chelsea are improving) . Imagine if real Madrid were in th same shit
Honestly from my opinion we need to give Xavi to continue his work as Barcelona Coach.
Even if we bring in another Coach as long as the players are not ready the team will not make any move.
The lack of consistency, that’s the score at the end of the game.
A 16 year old put the team on his back, sweated the jersey and
represented “more than a club”.
Yamal convinced me he deserves to be in a Barcelona jersey.
I can’t really say much about the rest.
Like there’s no hunger to win.
I knew that miss by Yamal would be costly, goals missed are goals scored against. I still respect him more than the the other 10 that played.
I would like to know where is the hunger?
As much as we want to have our hopes high, Barca will be average for the next 2 to 3 more seasons and then they'll rise. Expectations must be lowered a little. Much of this has to do with that fact that the club is almost completely broke.
I’ve been saying that for the longest. This right here, is not what Barça stands for.
This is why I don't get my hopes up. I did just a little after that Betis performance, but this just solidified that this is how this season will end, and until we see change, WE won't change
You don't see the vision. This man is building something special here
It's a new Barca with lower standards. This crop of players aren't title winners. It's simply just that.
From "Losing will have consequences" to "Pride in defeat".
That right there is 'politics' in a nutshell.
We need to stop assuming that our team is gonna be winning a lot this season, the lack of a quality DM, a striker who doesn't want to make runs and injuries have hampered our season. We need to just grit our teeth and get through till summer when we can hopefuly get some signings in
what i would like to understand is how a team with 37% possession took 29 shots against us
Yesterday night was best moments of barca this season until he sub Roberto in. We must admit how many senior players that are injured, with 16yr old players we are not doing bad.
I wonder where we would be if we had went for Font as president
Laporta is letting things slide with Xavi if this was anybody they would be gone
Nothing I think, he was backing Xavi as well
@@Jjjof I don't think he would've let the pressure pile up
We would be in the exact same position if not worse
He is referring to the youngsters that are coming through the academy. He literally said: "As your colleague said it is the begining of something important, of an important generation. If I am the coach or not, Barça has a future". Don't take words out of context just for stupid drama content.
We are literally under construction. We have no money and we have to rely on La Masia. Winning the league last year was a miracle and we cannot expect to win everything everytime and scream for Xavi's head everytime.
You are allowed to complain, as long as you do it fairly.
As a Catalan, born and raised in Barcelona, who lives and breathes the culture, I am sick of fans from other countries that keep insulting my club into the ground. All I see is free and easy hate on social media from plastic fans.
Not happy? Go support your local club.
I expected better from Jamie.
Word sack is harsh to mention right now as we all know what Xavi did as a player and while he step in as a barca coach, he changed the sistuation in and around the club fantastically but for further improvement and achievent i didn't feel he is the right coach, we need some one who have clear tactics and good personal relationship with players who can get best of every player of the club. We all need to wake up and fight for everything we got.
Arsène Wenger after Barcelona's exix:
"It's time for Xavi to preserve his legend at Barcelona and leave, in short, his time is up. He exited the Super Cup with a 4-0 defeat and now the same in the cup. Being a brilliant player doesn't necessarily make you a brilliant coach.
Honestly the hope I see some ppl have in Xavi and this team is crazy.
I'm at the point where I expect nothing so I'll actually be surprised when I see they win a game.
they just love Xavi the player not xavi the manager 😂
For once I will say we actually played well yesterday. Defensive errors cost us the game but I could clearly see Xavi's influence with the speed of passing being significantly better than what we saw at the start of the season. In fact let's analyse how we conceded.
Goal 1: Players overcommitted to defending the cross and left an open man, the ball bounces off balde to an open athletic player who shoots and Christensen blocks only for it to go past Gundogan perfectly into Guruzeta's feet
Goal 2: Kounde leaves too much space for the cross and an open header to Sancet
Goal 3: Roberto is the press trigger for athletic who win the ball and unfortunately Fort, who was already cramping up lost I. Williams who gets extremely lucky with the rebound off the post.
We clearly need to improve our defensive approach but our attacking play was for once clearly worked on in the training ground. And considering we threw on Cubarsi, Yamal and Fort who were also capable of following Xavi's plan for 90 minutes deserves praise.
We did not feel the lack of Cancelo, Balde or Christensen because of the tactics set up by Xavi. If we went down without a fight it's a different conversation but after what I saw yesterday I believe we are going to improve with each game.
The problem is everyone thinks xavi is a top class coach yet he just began his career recently, it will take time, barca is a top class club with high expectations,xavi is still learning and growing. That's the reality.
It's not about how bad he is, he is still growing in the coaching world that's why at times we play good at times We're in shambles
"Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat" - Sun Tzu
Xavi has tactics but no strategy and that is visible in all aspects of the game, from defence, transitions, set-pieces and attack. Our youngsters have stepped up and shown their potential but honestly, I don't believe that Xavi has the potential to bring out the best of them. Xavi has helped in stabilizing and starting a new era but now his limits as a coach are apparent. Barcelona needs and deserves to have a coaching staff that have some experience.
I saw a TikTok with the title: Motivational quotes that make no sense. Xavi should be part of that trend.
Just remember last season we sold a lot of our club levers. We sacrificed the future so we can get success now. But now they’re saying we have a great future.
Xavi: have faith...
Valverde: get packed and sacked pavi ball
Be mindful we won the league last season with a team has been on rotation for 2.5 seasons now since Xavi s appointment. We still don’t have a fixed starting 11. Some of our best players are not in good form and it hurt us cz we need individuality to make the difference sometimes like Messi used to do. FFP is harming us cz we still can’t afford the pivot that strongly need in this team We have to bare with this young barca team and I undoubtedly believe that Xavi can be the most fitted coach for this “new barca”. Shout out to Laporta, Xavi and the whole staff for doing their best to make Barca Great again🙏🏽 This is our down moment. We will get back on our feet sooner or later for sure💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽Força Barca
Realistically we are not in a place to replace Xavi now due to financial condition of the club. I mean he earns really little for his job, We can't replace him with a high profile coach with similar amount of payment to be honest. A new high profile manager won't just demand more salary but also demand new signings as well. We are not anywhere near to do that right now. That's why the board is backing Xavi no matter what. I don't know how long it will take to find the Barca back we knew. I don't know either if the old dominating Barca are gone forever. I really hope we turn things around once again.
This is a fc which is almost financially broke. This is the harsh reality, brother. It means the club can't afford bringing superstars either as players or as coaches. Sadly, sadly, this barca is not a super football team any longer. Criticism of the coaches and players is off course valid, however our expectations shouldn't be unrealistically high. Seeing that 4 youngsters from our historical pride, La masi are able to play so well at this level must be a joy for any traditional Barca enthusiast. With a lot of respect to "TFCB", Visca El Barca. 3:54
For me we still played a good game just that we lost the match and let me remind Barca fans that Xavi is doing a great job for the team and that this team is still under construction we are getting there el Barca
The squad is still new, they haven’t played much together. Klopp was given 5+ years for his first EPL title, Pep given much longer for his first UCL with city. Let Xavi cook, trust the process. Having such high expectations for the team to emulate the success we had in our golden era is simply unhealthy for yourself and the club.
We are going to WIN champions AND League !
Barca fans have no patience. We played with 3 16-17 years olds and backup keeper. Xavi needs time man any other coach will have similar struggles. This team won’t be complete without a true DM
I've always said and still stick to my "belief" that *Xavi must go/leave.
It'll be better a "New Manager" takes over preparing the TEAM for next Season than Xavi doing "nothing" [absolutely nothing] with this TEAM to lose all "Silverwares"; getting it as well into *Shambles!!!
It might be that Xavi is saying bye bye to older players like Lewa etc
Xavi also said he played Guiu instead of Roque to be fair but then we couldn’t play Fermin because Guiu was on. Makes zero sense and shows lack of decisiveness from Xavi
Roque is still acclimatizing to the country and team, but yeah let’s throw him in for a knockout game at San Mames
@@caflorero still better than putting Roberto in the field. Vitor has featured in 3 games now, he would've a good game.
It sounds like Xavi knows his time is up, come next season I see his departure based on a mutual agreement between him and the club. it sounds unfortunate and it's not entirely on him but it seems he cannot take this squad to the next level. Last season was a great accomplishment domestically but we all know that is the minimum requirement for Barcelona and that the goal is to compete in europe and Xavi hasn't succeeded in that. Last season was unfortunate in the group stage of the champions league, but we were knocked out of the europa as well. This season they made it over the line in a group that realistically they shouldn't have struggled with at all. Hopefully they can get past napoli who are struggling domestically also, but the quarter finals this season is where it'll end "IF" they get there.
On a separate note, can we give respect to the Bilbao fans? They are totally lit! Wow, they were so loud! When they scored their goals, it was like you were standing directly under a 747 airplane landing. That loud unison roar was like a knife in the back that made the goal hurt that much more!
The only way to improve this team is to bring in a coach who is absolutely ruthless and demands discipline and respect from everyone. Maybe that coach can still be Xavi, I would say the club needs to give him time until the end of his contract which is in 2025 I believe. Not every coach has had it easy.
However coming back to my point about the mentality of the coach, we need someone who doesn’t say things like “oh good job, im proud of you”. I believe these words absolutely kill the spirit in our players indirectly. Because psychologically you’re making them think they are good enough to be in the squad and when they are in the starting lineup, their performance is atrocious. Look at Lewandowski, Araujo, Kounde, Balde, Christensen, none of these players are even 3% of what they were last season and it clearly shows. We need a coach who demands even more even when the players had a brilliant day at the office. Its time this team learned some discipline and focus. We are clearly lacking
I think I agree that it’s a new Barca is the sense that the youngsters have real talent, however, I also believe this fanbase gets wayyy too toxic at times. The players especially in defense need to step up, it’s time we see that world class Araujo everyone is talking about, cause I sure as hell haven’t seen him.
To be honest, Xavi is mich bigger fan of Barca and lovr Barça than we all do. He sees things much better than we do. Let's face it - Barça are still in financial crisis and with the yongsters that show more and more quality and with the injuries I think Barça really have bright future, just ee need patience. All of us should not be expecting Barça ot be back where we were 5-6 years ago only after winning the last la liga. This team needs to lrarn how to handle wins and loses and to be consistent and then we need to add some more quality and experience in defence and in atack (in the middlr we have amazing people) so I see future bright. And I am sure Xavi will be the first to resign at the moment he sees it won't work with him. He loves the club, his blood is Barça! Visca el Barça and let's be patient. Next year will be our, thia one max 2bd place in La liga and max Quarter finals in Champions leage. Consequences of Bartomeu are still heavily here!
Respect the club legend dont firget what he has done for the club we cant disrespect him
Jamie: Can you make a video on Pedri's situation? He's my favorite player at Barca, but I don't see him being nearly as involved as before. We all know he just got back from several injuries, but I feel like we've been only seeing glimpses of his brilliance lately. Is it the system that's not working for him? Is he being played out of position? For instance, De Jong and Gundo both had twice as many touches as he did against Real Betis, and we have yet to see another Pedri masterclass since his game vs Atletico.
When Xavi took over I hoped to replace all the medical staff bring new doctors and develop one of the best pressing teams. Now after 2 seasons teams with limited funds are better than us in that aspect. The other thing about Xavi is that he brought all his family instead of a proper coaching team. Smaller teams seem to have better set-piece routines, tactics, and all those small details more developed than Barca. The other and most annoying for me is that we tend to sign players based on hype and not our needs. Raphinha, Torres, Lewandowski, Felix even Kounde while they are playing well in some games all seem to not be the profiles that Xavi wants. I mean he wants a CF that can make runs in behind and can press, He has spent 100+ on Ferran and Raphinha to be his wingers and they are clearly not that type of players. Also, Kounde signed as a CB and he has played most of his games as an RB. What on earth the scouting is doing...
I'm getting sick of comments like "Xavi out"... We could see these kind of comments for every single manager since Pep. What's annoys me the most - there is not a single comment like "Xavi out, XY manager in"... If Xavi plays Pedri every single game than "we didn't learn anything, we shouldn't push our young players so hard", if Pedri is on the bench there are comments "wtf, why is Pedri on the bench, is Xavi insane"... if Cubrasi plays 2 games in 6 days - why didn't he start vs Athletic (maybe because he just turned 17 and it's not ready)... When Vitor Roque arrived "that's great but we shouldn't forget about Guiu", when Guiu plays instead of Victor Roque "Why is Vitor Roquet at the bench" etc.
I understand that many Barca's fans are used to watch team of players like Messi, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol... But Barca's team right now isn't on that level and that's not Xavi's fault if you want to blame someone about it, blame Bartomeu he destroyed Barca. Even Pep wouldn't have a chance to win La Liga and UCL in the same season with our current squad and that's fine for me, I won''t talk sh*t about our players or our manager. We should SUPPORT our club in difficult times, it's easy to be a "supporter" when the club is the best in the world.
Jamie, thank you for all your hard work and for your opinions about our tactics, players, Xavi etc. And I agree with you most of the time... But even when you talk about what should you do if you are in Xavi's shoes, there is one thing that you didn't do - you didn't apply for that job, and even if you did - you wouldn't get it, because you are CZcamsr, not a manager. One more thing, are you 100% sure that with your tactic we would win every single game that we didn't? Or maybe we would lose some that we actually won with Xavi as a manager?
I understand all the frustration of the fans, but scream on the TV while watching the game, don't go to the internet and talk sh*t about the club you "support", we have madridistas for that.
We don’t have a proper winger, a pivot, 4 key players missing, our bench is full of teenagers only..what more can we expect? I don’t mind this season without a trophy. Next season we will be back at camp nou. Looking forward.
I think you are the only one who didn't understand his words... all of us understand that he was talking about the youngsters
Man i miss valverde i was actually happy back then.
This doesnt even make me mad it's just disappointing
Messi and Ter Stegen made you happy back then you mean
@@cafloreroXavi’s terrible. Quit being stupid. You probably think Xavi’s one of the best managers in the world lol.
@@caflorero no messi and ter Stegen were both here Ronald was the coach too and I felt the same then.
When valverde was here we actually felt like a competent team even tho that team (talent wise) is worse than our current one
Bro once we get crushed in the championships league by Napoli he’s gonna say “Well we still have one title to fight for” like NO MF you shouldn’t be calm about losing in any competition, whether is a friendly or serious. Barca is not that kind of club like Dortmund or Arsenal or Spurs who are fine with bottling competitions. Like NOOO
1.Who are you blaming for the loss ????
2.What do you expect xavi to say? The players gave everything on the pitch, they fought, they were just not good enough, and couldn't cope with athleti's runners.
3. What do you expect laporta to do at this point? Sack xavi?
4. If you are sitting as the Barca president what are you going to do at this point, blame the players and sack their coach in January?
We're all fans of barca, we can't live in fantasy right now, we have to be realistic, even if we can bring in a top coach, where's the money?
We have to understand that money is 70% of the problem we are facing.
I'm sure if we had money, busquets and dembele who were key for xavi winning the league last season would have excellent replacements.
What we need to do is appreciate this players for doing their best, and back them, lamine who missed those two big chances that would have taken us 4-2 up is only 16 guys, think about what that kid would be in a few years time, theres cubarsi, fort and all of this guys did well against betis while still being very young and against guys who are 5+ years ahead of them, I'm also not a xavi fan but i see him like Newcastle united's Eddie howe, he's there to give us some identity in this troubled times with less cash, he will eventually give way for someone who is going to take us to the next level when the time and money is perfect. Lets jus support these guys and show love, we are even struggling for loans and can't even sign low cost young talents that are pushing to come to the club, stop all the fuss men, we are hanging on a rope at this point, and thank God we can say we have a future with these kids.
Visca de el Barca spent ❤
Maybe we need to learn to accept defeat. Maybe we need to learn to face the worst. It's already been multiple years since Barca fans were last properly happy with how the club stood. All clubs have their down points. The premier league is not the same league it was many years ago, and it's the same with La Liga. Most teams fall from grace and maybe that's the case with Barca. Maybe when we learn to accept our defeats, we can focus on improving. When we let go of our pride and accept some humility, we can stop our minds from being clouded by stress of expectations, allowing us to focus on what really matters, that this Barcalona, the club we love, is more than a club. It's a family that shares one love, and that's a love for football. We shouldn't share a love for winning or the trophies we gained, we should share a love for the game we love to watch and play. I didn't become a Barca fan because I loved to see them win. I became a Barca fan because my grandpa was a Barca fan, and I saw the love he held for the club and the way they played and I fell in love with that, too. Xavi is right. This is the start of a new Barca. A fresh start. We have no Messi, no Iniesta, Busquests or Xavi(at least not as a player), no Suarez or Neymar or any of these legends. We have what we have and while it isn't perfect, we can develop it. But first, we must learn to be happy with it. Because until we can accept what we are, we will be running in circles looking for something we can not find nor gain. No matter what happens to Barca, even if we get the Chelsea treatment and end up mid-table, I will always love the club because it stands for the game I love.
I think it’s safe to say our season is over. I mean I don’t see this version of the team winning the champions league, or even making it past Napoli. And yes Xavi is to blame for a lot of what is going wrong but let’s not forget how the finances of the club have hindered it. We haven’t even signed a proper holding midfielder which has clearly been costing us. Add unto that the frequency at which players have been getting injured and you have a lot of inconsistency in the starting line up. But that’s where Xavi is supposed to adapt and he hasn’t shown that he’s capable of that. But tbh I don’t even know if Barcelona would even be able to afford hiring a high level manager. I feel a lot of uncertainty regarding the future of the club and can only hope that once finances are straightened we might see them play well consistently.
