The experience of Xavi Hernandez is also not anything close to someone like Guardiola. And even in this short time, he has actually been able to win the La Liga title under some extreme conditions. I understand that Barcelona did provide him with some decent amount of money to be honest. But if Barcelona wants more, they will have to spend more. And that is something Barcelona cannot do right now.
Xavi has been with Guardiola. If you look at the games, they have the same philosophy. You have to remember Guardiola takes a long time. He is also building a team, with his long period as coach unfairly comparing Xavi and Guardiola. I think Xavi is quite a genius, he has the potential to have achievements like Pep Guardiola. He still has quite a long time to be a coach at the current age. Regarding players, maybe they have limited funds due to economic circumstances. Even yesterday I heard that they still have some players who have not made the official list in this season's competition.
Yes, I understand that he has been in the team which was coaching. And the team also got a lot of success as well. He also seems to follow the same tactics as Guardiola as well. But that does not mean he has the same experience. And experience is very important for a coach in my opinion.
If you are a player you need experience, but you also need to be younger. But when you are a coach it doesn’t matter how old you are as long as you have experience. Unless you are more than 70 probably because at that age, it is hard for a human to think straight most of the time.
Anyway, I think Xavi is doing a good job with Barcelona. Under all the problems that he is facing, and we all know he is sometimes not even being able to register players that they have acquired already, he is definitely handling things better than a lot of other coaches.
