Barça’s New Home at Montjuïc: Challenges and Concerns for Xavi’s Team

2023-08-19 22:53:59

This will not be another season in the history of Barça, win many titles or not. With the cranes invading the Camp Nou, which hopes to have its first two stands ready by November 2024, the magical mountain of the Olympic Games will be the home of Barça for, at least, the next 14 months. After the Gamper, the official premiere is this followingnoon (7:30 p.m.) once morest Sergio’s Cádiz who, winks of fate, debuted with the Espanyol shirt at the Lluís Companys when it was the perica house… For now, the sensations They have been bad (follow the game live on AS.com). Barça set exorbitant prices for its subscribers for the transfer to Montjuïc and, although it later lowered them by half, it had already moved away from its people and lost the story. It has barely reached 17,500 subscribers. In addition, and despite the mobility plan put in place, there is a feeling in the city that getting to Montjuïc is not part of the heart of the city and that, basically, you have to take an excursion to reach the top at Lluís Companys.

Xavi is worried regarding the matter. He is afraid that Barça is alone. Already last year he warned that this would be a difficult year and asked for the complicity of the partner, who had given everything at the Camp Nou, where there were 85,000 subscribers, almost 70,000 more than this course.

The coach, moreover, has sporting concerns. The season began with a stumbling block (0-0) and noise following the terrible game at Getafe that ended with the coach and Raphinha being sent off, desperate with the Bordalás method. If he wants to continue worrying, Xavi, who will watch the game from a box at Lluís Companys, will know that 44 minutes and 54 seconds were played in Cádiz-Alavés, 16 minutes less than in Getafe…

But beyond the fact that part of the reason (not the forms in any case) assists Xavi, the champion must improve his performance. The Terrassa coach can start by moving the team. Gavi is gasoline and spicy for Barça. Xavi might do without Oriol Romeu to make room for the Andalusian and finally align a midfield player. De Jong can be enough to play a positional midfielder; Gundogan is a tactically intelligent player; and Pedri is expected, who in the summer put on his homework (he only gave one assist last season) and did not take anything out of the hat in Getafe. The absences of Araújo (injured) and Raphinha (suspended) can be covered by Sergi Roberto and Ferran Torres…, or the jewel Lamine. And many eyes will look at nine. Robert Lewandowski turns 35 tomorrow and has not left the best feelings in the first weeks of the season. The Pole, proud, still gives two or three at the highest level. We will see.

Cádiz does not come for a walk. He has reflections on Conan; experience with Fali, Luis Hernández, Alcaraz or Fede; speed and driving with Machis; and goal with Roger. The Submarine also knows the recipe to annoy Barça. Between 2020 and 2022 he went four games without losing once morest the Catalans and Ledesma only conceded two goals in that period.
