Snip.

Adjusting the strategy based on the opponent's strategy that will be faced is what Xavi has in mind for Barcelona. Of course, Barcelona still has great difficulty scoring goals against a team that dominates its defense well and only uses counter attacks, but this season Xavi must think of a solution so that Barcelona doesn't fail again like last season.

Barceloana is one of the favorites from La Liga for this season's Champions League after Real Madrid was in first place. Xavi has had some problems due to player injuries, but I believe he will do his best so that Barcelona can reach a good level season after season.

Xavi really needs a player who is able to execute free kicks perfectly, after Messi departure, Barcelona does not yet have players who are reliable in executing free kicks. When facing an opponent with a stronger level of defense, a backup strategy is needed to find goals, one of which is by using free kicks.
So far, Barcelona has always been overwhelmed when facing teams that are more focused on defense, of course Barcelona players will find it difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense due to implementing a bus parking strategy. Xavi must be able to apply a precise strategy to go further in the UCL, last season's failures need to be evaluated to keep Barcelona's journey in the UCL this season smooth.

Rather than thinking about how to get a player that can execute free kicks for barcelona. It's better for him to hear a complaint that has come from lewandowski. Lewandowski has openly criticized xavi's strategy.

In a recent interview with Eleven Sports, Lewandowski didn't hesitate to be somewhat critical of some of Xavi's tactics. "We are Barcelona and we are expected not only to win, but to play good attacking football," Lewandowski said. "Lately that hasn't been as it should be, so we've been struggling to create more chances in games. When we introduce Ferran Torres or Ansu Fati, two players who go forward, we create more chances. Sometimes we don't play enough attacking players and I don't have support, so I look for the best solution for the team".

Xavi needs to fix this problem first before he will be dealing with another problem. It's even much more important for xavi to find a solution to get someone who can support lewandowski. He probably needs attacking midfielder or another striker to help him.
