In recent days, when comparing to A Madrid and R Sociedad ,Barcelona is really performing well and that needs to be on 5th place. Yes I am not aware of how best Barcelona was, but yes the current coach is really giving out his best to the players I suppose. I am sure , if the players follow him then, he is going bring back Barcelona's earlier performances back.
This is an opportunity for Xavi when Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad have had bad things in their game, so behind Barcelona being able to catch up to the top 5 in LaLiga it is very possible for Xavi to reach it slowly but surely.
I understand what you are saying that there must be a long room for Xavi so that he can be free to find talent from these young talent, it is very easy to judge who will be chosen by Xavi who stands out in his game.
As a Barcelona coach who has the tough task of training talented young players who are still not doing well, it is certainly a very difficult task. The long process also definitely makes Xavi have to work harder. At the same time, other players both at Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad also did the same. Here taking advantage of the conditions are quite ideal, because Barcelona will have good potential in the future. Just need to get back on track as they should be in the top 5-4. If only 2 points are enough convincing for Barcelona.
