Snip.

Xavi has built his main squad quite well. especially their defense which is getting stronger at the start of this season when compared to last season.
but with the absence of several players who were Xavi's main squad of choice, of course, it was a big hole in Barcelona's defense. El Clasico will probably be scarier than the match against Inter. it could be that Barca didn't have a chance to attack. I hope Xavi has found a strategy for his squad shortage.

Xavi has learned a lesson from conceding three goals from Inter, he must quickly find a formula to close the big hole left by several core players. Barcelona defense has been in the spotlight the most after the departures of Kounde and Araujo, the two centre-backs have kept Barcelona defenses excellent, but after their injury in the international break Xavi has yet to find a suitable replacement to cover the hole they left.

Although Barcelona still have Pique, Christensen and Eric Garcia, their quality is still inferior to Kounde and Araujo. When facing Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, Xavi must have a plan B so as not to concede too many goals from Real Madrid.

Now Barcelona's weakness is starting to show against Inter Milan in the Champions League. It is undeniable, losing some of the main names in the team is very important for stability on the field. It gives me the impression that the depth of the Barcelona squad is not evenly distributed and there will still be gaps if they don't play with the full squad. Real Madrid is a balanced opponent, you can even say they are better than them for now, especially with the absence of several players it is certain that this will be a tough match for Barcelona. Xavi had to rack his brain so as not to be wrong in applying the strategy in the El Clasico match later.

Both coaches already understand the strengths of each team and they already know who is the main key to the game of Barcelona and Real Madrid because of the evaluation that the coach often watches when the game is over so he records all the weaknesses of the player and creates a good strategy to penetrate enemy defense, If the match ends in a draw then it will be a shame for these two teams. So at least one of them gets the win.

I think Real Madrid will continue to perform as usual and there will be no special strategy from Carlo Ancelotti, because indeed their coach on this one is not much and has never issued a surprising strategy. But of course there are special instructions for guarding some players who are dangerous for Real Madrid. Likewise with Barcelona, Xavi also must have anticipated several players who were dangerous to their defense. But Real Madrid have the advantage because on the pitch their attack creators have a lot of experience. Toni Kroos in the Champions League match he was very visionary when he passed the ball to Rudiger which led to a goal.
