The recent events have shown that Xavi Hernandez has made no mistakes during his tenure as Barcelona\u2019s coach. Despite last season being considered a failure, the team has the same number of points in La Liga as they do this season. In contrast, during their championship-winning season two years ago, they had nine more points. This indicates that there is little difference between Xavi and coach Hansi Flick\u2019s results.<\/p>\n
According to the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, Xavi\u2019s decisions have been vindicated, particularly his choice to identify players like Ansu Fati and Pablo Torre, who this season have failed to meet the standards needed to contribute to the team. His critiques of key players, including Alejandro Balde and Robert Lewandowski, whose performances have been under scrutiny due to their lackluster contributions, were also accurate. Xavi\u2019s assessment of Eric Garcia, who is no longer fit for Barcelona, has proven to be correct.<\/p>\n
Joan Laporta and Deco, both winners of the World Cup and European Cup, advised selling Eric Garcia, which led to his loan to Girona last season. However, Hansi Flick, after a solid season at Girona, was given another chance to return to Barcelona due to a defensive injury crisis. It didn\u2019t take long for Flick to recognize that Xavi was right about Garcia\u2019s limitations, especially after his poor performance in a loss to Legan\u00e9s, where he was responsible for conceding a goal. Garcia\u2019s future at the club looks bleak, with his departure likely in January.<\/p>\n
Despite joining Barcelona for free and being expected to succeed Gerard Piqu\u00e9, Eric Garcia has failed to live up to expectations. Flick has lost patience with him and is demanding that he be transferred, with a price set at around \u20ac10 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
