It is true that the sportive project of Xavi Hernández gave an important jump in this same 2023 when topping like champion of League, a title that the FC Barcelona raised after four years, but the reality in this closing of year is being of absolute defensive disaster, and by moments also in attack. The group culé went back to add two consecutive defeats, something that already happened him does a pair of months, and besides now has been fitting seven goals between these two parties.
Further that it has to recognise that the Girona is playing of luxury and is the only leader of LaLiga, does not leave to be an inferior team in staff and investment that the culé, and even could add also in time of work. However, the worst was for arriving and has been the night of this Wednesday with the Catalan team falling in front of the Amberes, a team that had not won in this Champions League, and even had not been able to add an alone point in his first five parties.
Goals against teams that would not have to surpass so much to the Barça
In fact, with more conviction, pride and win to make history that football has been able to mark him three so many to the Barça and leave him in the middle of the worst crisis of the last two years surely. The team of Xavi has finished advancing like leader of group, but with the confidence very far to be in the highest and even showing, to fault of two months for the eighth of final, like an attractive rival for these 'big' that have finished advancing like seconds in his sector (PSG, Inter of Milan or Naples).
For many has been more a problem of attitude that of concepts if we take into account that by moments the players are souls in penalty in the field. It did not seem even exist difference between headlines and acting in a fragile team, after having fit the 3-2 final less than a minute after annotating the tie and with players as I Cancel, Koundé, Christensen, Gündogan or Pedri on the field in this moment.
The problems will be able to disappear with the new year?
The footballers of Xavi have margin to heave the flight and improve in everything. They remain still two months until it arrive the first round of eighth, already with Vitor Roque like revulsivo expected up, and the doubt of Ter Stegen, but the hope right now does not seem to go of the hand with the ones of Xavi. It does not seem to exist a clear idea of game and the 'get angry' that all show after the parties does not translate in the lawn.
