In the early morning of December 13, Beijing time, La Liga giants Barcelona lost a good game against Osasuna, suffered a final draw from the opponent, not only suffered three winless games in all front-line competitions, but also due to Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, the standings were further widened by Real Madrid, the gap reached more than eighteen points, basically lost the competitiveness of the championship, this season's goal has completely become a competition for four, it is likely that next season even the Champions League group stage has not been played.
In this match, Barca youngster Nico Gonzalez opened the scoring for the Rossandre in the 11th minute and scored the first goal of his first-team career, but just one minute later, Osasuna's David Garcia equalized for the team, and the two sides returned to the same running line. At the beginning of the second half, it was Aboud who scored an out-of-the-game goal for Barca, and Barca took the lead for the second time. Unfortunately, this time, Barca still failed to extend the score or save the victory, and in the 86th minute of the game, Osasuna's Luis Avila drew the savior and helped the team to hold a difficult draw at home.
After three consecutive games without the desired result, the team not only has to play the Europa League knockout play-off, but may even not even have a Champions League place next season, Xavi, who was once considered Barca's savior, has been widely questioned by the outside world. You know, even if Barça's current lineup is no longer crotch-pulling, it is too exaggerated to lag behind Real Madrid by eighteen points in less than halfway, and even if they are given an early loan to win in the first round, they are at least fifteen points behind Real Madrid, and Pinnacle Barca has not had such a lead over Real Madrid. And this is only the gap in points, in terms of the game scene, Barça is almost unable to regain the dominance of the year, in a considerable amount of time, they will even be suppressed by the opponent, Xavi for such a performance of the game needs to be backed.
In fact, Xavi has returned to Barcelona and led the team to play a few games, but looking at his performance and effect, it is still very disappointing. As soon as he returned to Barca, Xavi announced ten prohibitions, including restrictions on players in terms of diet, training and off-field life, and seeing him rule with such an iron fist, Barça fans at that time unanimously thought that the savior had arrived, and it was dawn! But this is not the case, although Xavi himself is full of confidence, not only repeatedly telling the outside world that he will lead Barca back to the top, but even promising Laporta after being eliminated by Bayern in the Champions League that barca will be promoted to the same level as Bayern Munich a year later.
Such an irresponsible rhetoric, I have to say that Harvey is a little confused about himself. Although Laporta held a grand welcome ceremony for Harvey at Camp Nou, but in the process of signing him back, he was even reluctant to pay the full amount of the liquidated damages, and finally used his feelings to let Harvey himself pay half of the liquidated damages to achieve the return, from this point of view, it is not difficult to see that Laporta really does not attach so much importance to Harvey, for him, Harvey is more like a back. When Xavi returned, the eyes of the world were on the Barca star, midfield master, his every move of the team was magnified, and the previously widely criticized La porta received less attention during this time, corresponding to which Laporta was rarely scolded, Xavi became the back of the team's poor performance, and also became a pawn for Laporta to absorb the support of fans and members. I have to say that playing the emotional card, Laporta is a good player.
It is true that Xavi is inferior to Guardiola and Zidane in terms of coaching level, which can be asserted at present, but it is also true that Barca's current squad relies almost entirely on a group of children such as Garvey and Nico as thighs, and it will not be better to change to other coaches. If Harvey can recognize the reality, lower his posture in time, and focus on the Europa League championship and league competition, and the long-term goal is to renew and revitalize, then his prospects are still optimistic. But now the fact is that Xavi has always positioned himself as a savior, positioning Barca as a cosmic team, which has led to the team's repeated defeats on all fronts, and Harvey himself has gradually lost his aura and trust. When Harvey realizes this problem one day, he will be disreputable.
