Xavi is a man of this club. Why can’t people agree with this and move on!!! He will put his head to the sword for this club period.
Fax!!
You’re high
So why he wanted OUT, when things werent going well?
@@konlanjoseph42 things are not even goingbthat good. Having him out and bring in Hansi Flick was always the right thing to do. The club board has bottles it just like the first team.
Because people are way too delusional that they want this barca to turn into prime Barca overnight. Even pep himself didn’t achieve the treble within a season at city. No matter who you bring in as coach at Barca, it will take some time for them to be where they need to be
There's a Seinfeld episode where George Constanza yells to his boss that his quitting and leaves the office only for him to regret his decision and come back to work the next day pretending nothing happened. Xavi reminds me of George 😅
Lmao!!!! Xavi Constanza!!! 😅
Didn’t expect a Seinfeld reference here😂
😂😂😂😂
Xavi was never leaving anyway
What has changed ? The Sixteen year olds . The unfinished business as Xavi says .
Bad decision they are going to get slapped every single game by real madrid next season. He will ruin his legacy
Much more my friend 5 new La Masia stars coming in including a 15 years old center forward. There will be players sold that perform poorly or to begin with not deserve to play for Barca in the first place. Maybe some staf members leaving however Xavi still won La Liga in his first season so he has already proven he can win La Liga. Now it’s the time to do that again and keep that flow 😊
I think Xavi has the ability to become one of the greatest coaches in world football I honestly do, time will tell
Good times ahead for Barca , the excuses are going to be relentless; expecting the classics like grass was taller, wind was stronger to the new ones like refree and league is against us and of course the favourites we dominated them and deserve to win 😂😂😂
Respect Xavi ❤
First this ESPN guys seems to lose their sense when it comes to Barcelona, may be it is hates. I mean Ale is just too off on Barcelona. I have never hear anything Positive from Him.
So Xavi is staying and what...? Cant anyone see that this club is a young one..? From Arujo, to Kounde, to Cubarsi, to Frankie, to Gavi, Pedri, Lamin, Fermin, Balde.. come on the list is on.. Just Lewandoski who is taking Pension and Gundo who is burning out.
Barcelona needs time this panellist should know better. It all about pressure and they are part of the Pressure.
Media and fans have absolute 0 ball insight
Xavi isn't a bad coach as they wish, he's great ..
He has no DM, no left winger, trash coaching staffs, poor physios and no true Right back..
With all that he got Barca into QFs and even could have made it into the semis if it wasn't for Araujo's red card, unfortunately.
Barca prioritize on registra role, give him that and left winger and you'll know how good he is
they like to ride the barca hate train and therefore hate xavi. he's a nice bloke and is respected by many managers throughout european teams. if they dont hate him, why would one hate a legend like him. if they manage to get 2-3 good transfers this season xavi could lead this team to another league title. the championsleague looked much more promising for barca this year than the league. there's so much potential and many of us already said he should stay because he brought that to us.
Xavi has my respect for winning la liga and developing só many la masia talents. Few people in the world couldv done better
*online fans mostly but I agree
Yeah, I don't think you can buy a good winger for a Spotify premium subscription..
Wait! The stadium grass could do the trick🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Vitor Roque better submit a transfer request then
Is he injured or something? Like I seeing him for a game or two and haven’t heard a single thing about him since
I honestly think he was supposed to leave with his head held high with that La Liga from last year, considering the fact that Real is about to bring in Mbappe and a few other upgrades to the team, i’m not sure Barca can compete, unless things go terribly bad for RM
With Ancelotti at the helm, it will be fine at Real Madrid.
Tell me any Manager in the world who could have done what Xavi has done at Barça with no DM, no left winger, no true right back, poor coaching staffs and trash physios..
Name one Manager in Xavi shoes and we'll talk
Ancelotti
@@eminemsaga4213 What?? He's one of the biggest spenders in Managerial football..
He relies on players wits too
So your actually a barca fan but you have to twerk for city because barca are in the mud
Ancelotti played without first 2 centre backs. Tchoumeni played CB
trash talk, there are so many managers out there that have achieved much with mid table clubs
barcelona has become a mid club little wonder expectations are now so low, so low!, yall are literally flirting alot with mediocrity
Xavi is a genius he knows the next season can’t be worse than this one
Wanna bet?
Mbappe is headed to Real Madrid. I mean how bad can it get.
Relegation much? Outside top 6? What could go wrong right
As a Madrid fan, I'm extremely happy to see Xavi continues as Barcelona's coach.
As Barca fan same. We lost this year but he owned y’all for a whole year and won 4-0 with a bad team so Xavi has a good record against y’all.
As a Barca fan you won't be happy when he spanks your corrupt club 4-0 again and wins the league next year
Should be embarrassed to support a team that clearly receives help from VAR and the league to win, even with so much spending power they need help to best a Barca team with a bunch of inexperienced teens and older players 😂😂😂
@@316bassin vardridogs have no shame, most of them are just trophy chasers and their team winning while they do nothing at home gives them meaning to their sad lives
Hala Franco still lives in their hearts 😂
Xavi is going to invite more pressure on him next season because they can't match up with real madrid and i don't think they can win champions league next season
We all love and respect him as a Barca legend but to come out publicly and say that u don't have the energy to continue give your reasons and then 3 months later after a disaster in term of results to talk about how motivated you are it just gives a bad look...This just does look like he's doing something against his true will! Doesn't look good
Can't believe I'm watching former mediocre players lecturing Xavi Hernandez Creus on footballing decisions.
Then don't watch! 🤡
@@harshvaghela47 Did the truth hurt you? Who are they to criticise Xavi?
@@jimcannibal4911 because they are pundits. It’s their job lol. Xavi was a great player but he isn’t a good manager yet. He still needs to prove a lot. So they have every right to criticize xavi.
Haha ikr
Second division players talking about football knowledge to Xavi
The greatest spainsh player of all time
So 'he has unfinished business ' . When he said he's going out from Barcelona he hadn 't unfinished business??
I'm a big Barca fan,but he needs to show that he means what he said,not problem with him being the coach again,but his actions got to speak louder than words
Why did you use so many words to say absolutely nothing?
@@Prasko131 your one of those pathetic new age fans,so it doesn't even make sense talking football with a clown like you 🤡🤡🤡🤡
I dont know what xavi expects after going against what he told us. A coach who can’t keep his word
It's good that he's staying. He needs to win a UCL and another La Liga.
He should have left when he had the chance. Now if they fail, all of the focus will be on him entirely.
In his first announcement to leave, he heavily struck the media for making it harder for him. He has a bad habit of checking the news to hear what they say about Barcelona and him. Now with every setback they're gonna crucify him even harder.
Barca has a project. It’s being built. No matter what all the talkers say. I’m so happy the project will not be disrupted! Forca Barca!!
Lol He has unfinished business, he still hasn't destroyed them 100% 🤣🤣 But hey, who else can they hire? All the good coaches are already in better teams and wouldn't look Barcelona's way. That club is a disaster waiting to happen. No stability whatsoever. I personally can't be happier about this decision. Thank you Laporta and Xavi.
Why don't you understand that that announcement by Xavi to leave was a psychological move to motivate the club...? He wasn't leaving anyway.....
"To lift the pressure"
By someone as psychologically WEAK as Xavi?? 😂
And how did that work out? 😂
@@nomadUCLpsychologically weak huh. That’s why he left the desert and took this gigantic job, knowing it could tarnish his rep with the club forever? You’re simple
You think like a 5 year old
@@nomadUCLExactly real master stroke….To overtake Girona he had to announce he was leaving.
Valors.
Ngl Ale is speaking some sense for once. But I doubt Barca is doing this only because they cant afford a coach. Laporta would have sacked Xavi long ago if his name wasnt Xavi and if he didnt believe in him. The project that Xavi is building with this team is a good one which takes time. We’ve already seen this season signs of a team that can play vs top clubs and they only will get better.
yeah after 8-2 they are not the same
I'm glad they kept that overrated fraud xavi too. It'll be even easier for Madrid to win the title now
Mbappe facing Cubarsi, Araujo and Kounde for the next 7 years. He knows how to defeat them
I hear Araujo might leave if he got a good offer, and Barcelona might be willing to sell him or De Jong to attain the 1:1 rule. With De Jong's injury, don't think many clubs would offer 60M+, so it might be Araujo.
@@Chip_Fuse it's not reliable on what you hear and what you see on social media. But I hope they would sell De Jong, Lenglet, Fati, Dest, Rapinha, Lewandowski, Alonso, Martinez, Roberto
Any other manager could change their mind and it would be fine but because it’s Barcelona it’s magnified
I think it's the opposite, it's being diminished. It's like "We knew it was bound to happen, he wasn't being honest at first."
When this Ali guy speaks it seems he is the Barcelona President . He does not understand Barcelona does not need to sign a whole squad because most of the La masia players are better than most players in elite squads.
As a Madrid fan this is incredible news. Thank you Xavi, please stay for another hundred years. Please make clones of yourself so you can coach this club forever. Your sheer image brings us joy, your last 4 games against us bring us elation, we adore you Xavi.
Clones of Xavi would give you clones of El Classico 5-0 victories
@@amanueltesfu-hu2eu i know, if the last 4 clasicos is any indication madrid would be kings in perpetuity.
Just keep that goal line technology away and you'll be okay.
@@amanueltesfu-hu2euhahaha referee free penalty to Vasquez.
Dogrid gonna be finished next season 😂😂
VARdrid fans are so happy at this
Ale what do you mean he did nothing defensively?! He obviously saw how horrible they were and stood firm in keeping Kounde at RB, not stumbled on Cubarsi, but he looked the only placed he could and found a better CB, and shfited Christensen to CDM, that is tactical. What more could he do?!
Excellent analysis!
As a Barca fan, Xavi is staying due to finances and the desire of Barca to get Klop or Pep in 2025.
I hope Xavi survives till then
We love Xavi, He’s a great manager. His so collective and calm it’s amazing, His young talents so healthy and successful they never burn out and on pair with the best in the world. Xavi stays we love you, Madrid fan ❤
I'm so happy how Barca got these haters on ESPN guessing and speculating
He had his chance to leave on his own terms, but Laporta talked him out of it, so that ne can fire him at the end of next season.
His contract ends next season. So there won't be any firing
HE'S GOT A JOB TO DO & LOOKING VERY DANGEROUS.🌟.
I’m glad he’s staying. Our season was not as bad, not ideal, but not horrible. Other teams had a worse season and no one critics them as harshly. I stand with Xavi.
Maybe because they aren't as big as barcelona? 💁
@@frederickcapella6564Im pretty sure Manchester United and Juventus and Bayern are as big as barca
Why is Ale and ESPN in general so pained of Xavi retaining his job? You pundits are crying more than the bereaved and should allow Barcelona and their technical crews to have some breath.
unfinished business? next year it will be worse for him when he faces Mbappe, Endrik and Vini upfront. 🤣
Lil man secretly snuck in Endrick thinking we wouldn't notice 😂
@@Triple_X_X😂😂😂😂😂
On one side ale Moreno is saying that barca is doing this because of their financial situation, on the other shaka is saying why they’re doing this. Your colleague who’s sitting right beside you explained it man. So what if they first decided to let him go. Zidane was gone after his three peat for good, but he came back when they needed him. Get over it. You can discuss what this will mean football wise, rest all are just guesses.
Xavi is a good coach or manager, it is the club of Barça that was not able to fully support him with the right signings to compete properly at the highest level due to financial reasons.
Why they not talking about the injuries he has this season 😢
Crazy to say that after 2 loses in a row. He said he’ll be leaving to escape humiliation. He should’ve never said that he’s leaving in the first place, he had a better season than before. But still, poor timing to say he’ll come back.
Laporta probably was just honest about the club behind closed doors. And Xavi is staying for the club. They literally can not afford to replace him.
Oh yes !!
Ale moreno
A second division player talking about the greatest team and the greatest player of spain
Instead tell me how is the weather, Weatherman?
Greatest team? Hahahahahahha.psg owns ur club
Look man....same players, same coaching staff managed by the same manager and expecting a different result? Who are they trying to kid? Only a fool would believe!!
I am not sure this will end well.
Xavi only stayed cuz he loves Barca and they can’t afford anyone better
"Stumbled" hey! How do you stumble into a player you develop and watch everyday? I don't seem to understand why is this an issue to these people when someone who is on the job decides to reverse his decision.
Xavi said the pressure was not the main reason for his announcement. He can deal with the pressure. Especially now.
Ale's analysis always seems to miss where the ref has handed Madrid 3 points on numerous weekends. Talk what you like, that matters. It was disgusting this season and ESPN overlooked it each time. Even Tebas came out to defend his team during the game regarding goal line technology. You can't make this stuff up man
Only Real Madrid and Bilbao voted against Tebas's reelection and salary raise. Barcelona and every other club including second division clubs voted for him, even after knowing Tebas won't bring GLT. And Real Madrid had a goal disallowed due to lack of GLT, only this time it would've counted unlike Barca's alleged one where Cubarsi was offside and intervening with play.
The only way Tebas steps down if the Spanish Sports Court suspends him on Real Madrid's complaint regarding the CVC deal, so it's down to Real Madrid to save the league, again.
And Barcelona had so many penalties awarded to them in the last minute including the Gundogan dive, so Barcelona can't really blame the referees as well.
Barcelona failed themselves by losing the leads vs Villarreal, PSG and Real Madrid (three times).
The media overlooked their robbed ucls as well
This is not new
Refs have handed Barcelona 3 points on numerous weekends then. Call it both ways
Dude was having mood swings. Very normal for man over 40.
🤣
Yeah you can tell he did that just to quit before he gets fired. I hate people like that
As a Real Madrid fan, I am genuinely happy about Xavi’s decision to stay. He IS the right coach for the club.
I honestly believe that Ale is subconsciously anti-Barcelona coz of all his unnecessary negative energy towards Xavi’s decision. Oooh and btw, they didn’t “stumble” on Cubasi, they made him in La Masai, the best football academy in the world. It’s what they do, it’s what they have been doing for decades.
xavi said I am leaving barca sike am staying 😂😂😂
You have to realize where Barcelona were before Xavi and he has definitely taking the club to where they are building the future for the club without asking for so much signing. If Xavi has learnt from previous and this season next season should be more rewarding bc now he has experience in at ucl as well. He just need a cdm and LW
How ironic hearing them talk about the press slandering Barca, when they are part of that press that pressured them and criticized them more than any other team except Man United
Ale..."They dont have money to get a new world class coach". Watch Barca go spend $80m plus in the summer
Barca and Xavi going to regret this decision because only reason Xavi won 🏆 because real was not strong enough and even if Xavi win league title again which only 20% chance looking at RM team next season He is not good enough to Win CL that 100%
Maybe he was mistaken about this club midseason? No point questioning his decision, one way or another.
Leicester city CDM Wilfred Ndidi is a free agent end of season. He can play CDM, CB, RB, CM very versatile physical and creative player, perfect fit for Barca.
Every talent is „stumbled upon”
Cubarsí was showing his talent in Barca B and then he proved himself in the first team.
Let's be honest.
Barkalona fans are the only ones who are making the narrative about Xavi being the best coach for Barka.
If Barca can get a proper dm and lw they’re going to explode next season. If anyone has really watched Barca weekly would understand we lack a speedy winger up top and security over our cbs, with that covered our weaknesses will be gone. Only thing left will be having balde healthy to get back to left back and returning cancelo to city or keeping cancelo to play a winger role instead of fullback.
sure lets start a 16 year old every game like Cubarsi so Ale is happy he not came out of nowhere but guess what after that they say dont play a 16/17 year old every game
obviously we start to play the older ones first
Barca goes in the right direction and we can compete in a few years like we did in the past
we just need a little more time and not getting so called experts changing their mind every week
ESPN do not understand either Xavi or FC Barcelona.
Barca should put there head down avoid the transfer market sort there books while focusing on academy players for atleast another 3 seasons
This is not gonna end well 😢
We really hope so
Nothing has changed Ale. Except that narcissists like ESPN pundits are further thrown into confusion. Xavi was never leaving in the first place.
It will end in tears Next season.
Have you guys even watched the whole press conference? Or just chose 15 seconds of it and decided to run with it?
Ale barca were struggling because of injuries and they lacked a DM, Christensen was the solution not Pau
Day by day Espn panel is loosing its credibility regarding commenting un-biasedly.
WDLDL= I'm leaving in the end of season
WWWWL = I'm staying
More classicos to win for RM. Mas classicos ganar para RM!😂😅
Xavi is clearly too hotheaded. His previous decision was a hasty one, ‘cause he was angry and desperate. We can see his true colors on the touchlines and after every game they lose or tie. This calm Xavi staying “for the good of the club” is a façade - that said, he is the best they got right now, and they won’t get anyone better.
What he meant is untill we drop to segunda Liga my job isn't done
yes but who would discuss the payment to the Referees for the last 18 years?
People giving barcleona a hard time when giving the youth that they have and not the talent that Madrid or other big clubs have. They are pretty big especially the future of barcleona with their young’s kids
True. Real Madrid are near complete perfection. Every player has that winner mentality. They can compete for the UCL and League every year. And they have the best coach itw. Barcelona will have to endure for the next few years with the inexperienced players.
You guys don't have to understand why he is staying .we understand as a barcelona fan .
For the first time I agree with Ale
Pretty sure the pundits will react differently if it is Klopp case!
I mean, Klopp is another level when compared to Xavi. It's not a fair comparison.
Will Klopp change his decision or Tuchel as well ?
Please, please, Klopp change your mind too 😫
He will succeed next season
No coach would take Barcelona job, is insanely difficult. Xavi tried because he loves the club, but that is not enough. I think it would take Guardiola to fix this place.
You out of your mind. No coach will ever refuse to coach Barcelona or Real Madrid. No matter how bad the finances are or the pressure
Barca and Madrid are the 2 biggest clubs
@@bossplayaa8165don't be naive. In the end it's about money and Barca cannot afford a better coach.
@RiPPeRZ you need to learn more about the history of those 2 clubs. No matter how bad financially they might be, they will always attract the best player and the best coaches in football. They already have a young core and a very talented squad. Flick was very eager to join them and tuchel as well. The majority of the football players will always want to play for madrid or barca regardless of the money. Take gundogan as a case study or raphinha, lewa, or kounde they were both offered 4x the money barca was offering and still went there
You ESPN pundits, which teams did you coach? Please
best decision!!!!! He is a legend and legends need a happy ending!!
This channel will always be on barcelonas back. thats the medias agenda rn
Next year is not going to be different 😂
Hahahaaa i knew it the move was to take pressure off the club
I honestly don’t get why y’all are so pained he’s staying. It’s clear Barça doesn’t have the funds to sign a world class coach so what do you want them to do sign someone who has less experience than Xavi in the top competition??! Give me a break!
i am agre 100 procent with mr ali
He wants to cry more about the refs.
Fact is that barca is too broke to replace.
Yes , an unsettled real estate deal
I've never heard anything positives about from this guy. A Madrid fanboy through and through, shouldn't say anything about Barca.
Great analysis guys 👏🏼
Xavi has as many red cards (3) as Zidane has UCL (3).
