“He’s gonna going to give us all the titles we need,” Barcelona Vice Presidents backs Xavi amidst their disastrous Champions League exit
Xavi Hernandez for Barcelona
The highly recognized and one of the most popular clubs in the world, the Spanish club Barcelona, is currently going through one of its most difficult times. The head coach Xavi Hernandez also faces the consequences. In this situation, their vice president Rafa Yuste comes in complete support of the manager.
Barcelona Vice President Rafa Yuste recently said in an interview, “Xavi is a manager we love, there’s no doubt on that. He’s gonna going to give us all the titles we need”. The management’s support for the coach in a difficult and vital situation caught everyone off guard because it is uncommon in the football industry.
Even lately, there have been numerous instances where teams have fired their managers due to the team’s subpar play. Examples include Chelsea’s firing of Thomas Tuchel, Aston Villa’s removal of Steven Gerrard, and numerous other instances throughout the history of football. But in a squad that is emotionally charged, things are different.
Statistics that have been circulating recently following Xavi’s 50th game in charge of the club paint a bleak picture of his tenure thus far, with his win rate (56%) even lower than outgoing manager Ronald Koeman’s (66%) at the same point, whose tenure in charge was largely derided by club supporters.
Xavi Hernandez’s Barcelona this season
Barcelona had a difficult season. They got off to a good start this season, but they eventually struggled to win their individual matches. Out of the 12 games they have played this season in the Laliga, they have won 10. One game was a loss, while one was a tie. They are currently in second place.
They have played six games in the UEFA Champions League, winning just two of them. As a result of their defeat to Bayern Munich of the Bundesliga, they were also ousted from the competition. They had also taken significant damage from their matchup with Inter Milan. Fans eagerly anticipate the return of their favorite squad.
