Talking about the bad results that Barcelona has had this season is endless and since Ter Stegen suffered a back injury at the start of last season, it has made Barcelona's goal easier to break down. But of course it wasn't entirely Inaki Pena's fault, but Barcelona's defense was also questionable because it was so weak that the opposing players were very free to kick towards the goal. Weak interceptions and blocks made by defensive players meant that the goalkeeper was also unable to save his goal from being conceded.
I think we already know that since the last time they played against Girona in December last year, the Supercopa final against Real Madrid, against Bilbao in the CDR quarterfinals, until most recently against Villarreal, Barcelona conceded easily and the number of goals was more than 3 goals. This increasingly reflects that they will not be able to win any titles this season. I am very sad to see Barcelona's current performance and again the main responsibility lies with Xavi. After the match against Villarreal, we all know the news circulating that Xavi will leave at the end of the season. Another sad news but actually quite good for Barcelona's future development. However, Xavi is a club legend and also a coach who was quite instrumental for Barcelona last season.
Many people are blaming Xavi for Barcelona's poor performance, but in all honesty, I don't think the coach is at fault because the players are the ones on the field and Barcelona didn't have any other players besides the one Xavi is using to pay for games. So why is everyone blaming the coach when many people don't understand football? In Barcelona's match against Villarreal yesterday, Xavi actually made a good formation and a good substitution that would have won the game, but the players' performance are so bad.
When Villarreal scores two goals, Barcelona leads 3-2. However, before the game is over, Villarreal scores three more goals to win 5-3. The reason for this is entirely the players' fault; the fourth goal Villarreal scores comes from a defensive play by Barcelona player. How can they be playing inside the box when they need to win a match? It's great to hear that Xavi wants to leave the team. We'll see how Barcelona manages to get a good coach, but even if they do, their performance will still be subpar because they didn't sell sell players and didn't sign any new ones.
In this match, it was seen that Barcelona's back line players always made mistakes, resulting in many goals being scored against Barcelona. In my opinion, Barcelona's back line must really be improved so that Barcelona's back line can be strong in the future. If Xavi decides to leave Barcelona, I am sure that in the future Barcelona will be even worse, because when Barcelona gets a new coach it is not certain that he will be able to adapt that quickly. Because as a new coach he must be able to form a truly mature strategy pattern to be able to give success to his squad, this takes a very long time to become successful.
