Xavi Hernndez is already master and lord of FC Barcelona. Between his ideas and the new signings that arrived in January Bara is another and it is reflected in the results: four wins and one draw in the last five league games and one win and two draws in their last three Europa League games. There are no recent losses. And then the Catalan DT has taken a lot of authority.
And he made that clear in a forceful message he gave at the press conference prior to the rematch with Galatasaray for the round of 16 of the Europa League: “We cannot have a player in the team who is not going to press.”
Xavi makes it clear that, beyond talent and tactical skills, there is the pressure when the team has the ball, essential in the Bara scheme: “It is our model of play. There can be no a player who does not go to pressure because everything upsets you. The game model changes. It is essential that the footballer is for the team. We feel that pressing and running forward will make you run less.”
