Champions League In the fifth round of the group stage, Inter Milan defeated Bilson 4-0, killing the hope of Barcelona to advance to the top 16; then, Barcelona lost 0-3 to Bayern , and failed to win the battle of honor. Is Harvey's coaching position still stable? On October 27, Kobe Radio revealed that Barcelona's management still supports Xavi.
Last November, Xavi was appointed as the head coach of Barcelona. This summer, Barcelona made huge profits in the transfer market, spending 140 million euros to introduce Lewandowski , Rafinia , Conde, Christensen, and Casey, and also renewed the contract and left Dembele , which strengthened its strength. However, in the Champions League, Barcelona cannot even enter the top 16.
For two consecutive seasons, Barcelona missed the Champions League round of 16. Does Harvey have any worries about being dismissed? On the 27th, Kobe Radio revealed that Barcelona will not fire Xavi.
Kobe Radio pointed out that Harvey's coaching position is "unshakable". At present, Barcelona has no other choice except to play steadily and move forward with their heads up. In addition, the club management believes that Barcelona is in the reconstruction period and needs more patience.
Barcelona also knows that there is indeed no suitable candidate to replace Xavi. From Valverde to Setien, to Koeman and Xavi, the coach of Barcelona has been changing, but the team's style has not changed - the confrontation is weak, the style of the game is soft, the core players are aging, and their mental attributes are too poor, and they cannot fight tough battles. Once in the Champions League, Barcelona's weaknesses will be exposed.
Barcelona missed the Champions League quarterfinals again, Xavi has not been dismissed yet, and he is indeed a life-threatening person. Former Arsenal and Barcelona superstar Henry gave his own opinion when commenting on CBS: "The most important thing in football depends on the results. Just like in Premier League , we saw Gerald being fired by ( Villa ). "
The team's performance is not good, and the coach is dismissed. This is the most common way to seek change, especially for giant teams. Henry said: "You are the coach of Barcelona. The outside world will judge your job and there is no room for mistakes. Barcelona pays huge costs for the Champions League, and the team also needs to get good results in the Champions League and get more bonuses. Obviously, the outside world has higher requirements for Barcelona."
Henry also hinted that Xavi's luck is good enough. " If someone else was coaching, the volcano in Barcelona would erupt. " As a legendary superstar of Barcelona club, Xavi can calm down the locker room with his personal prestige. What if Barcelona continues to be in a downturn? Harvey's life is not easy.
