Dosing his forwards, Xavi's great challenge this season

After a pair of seasons with more doubts that certainties, the FC Barcelona of the 2023/24 goes back to have a forward that luce fearsome in Europe. In front of the Betis, the team destapó his offensive power with a 'manita' in which they converted four of the five attackers culés, with Raphinha adding to the party from the bench. The trident title directed the goleada with a so much by man, being Joao Félix the figure of the first part.

In this sense, the arrival of the luso gives to Xavi Hernández the depth that so much asked in attack and opens an important challenge to the egarense of face to the rest of the season: dosificar to his forwards to keep what the same considers key in the performance of the team: the internal competition by the titularity. After the party of the Saturday, the egarense showed very satisfied and, of here from now on, is very likely that the diagram keep the offensive trident of the cual had dispensed in the last weeks.

Only Lewandowski is 'intocable' in the forward of the new Barça

Like this the things, for now alone Robert Lewandowski is intocable in the leading culé. The Pole had complained does a pair of weeks of the problems of the Barça in attack and the party in front of the Betis gives him the reason. The team is deeper and conclusive with three forwards and, if they have the pieces, why not to use them? Xavi understands that so much Raphinha like Ferran will struggle by a place in the XI and, with Joao Félix and Lamine Yamal in full form, the team can take out a lot of rédito in attack.

However, the problem for the trainer happens also by the fact to have to do without one of his mediocentros to put to another forward. And they can be two when it return Pedri, since so much the '8' as Ílkay Gündogan are essential for the preparation of game. Play with an alone man of containment would be the exit in this case, but so much Oriol Romeu like Frenkie of Jong have done sufficient merits in the start suspender belt to be still in the XI.

Xavi will have to define his diagram with base in the results

Like this the things, only the results will mark the final decision that take Xavi regarding his diagram. If the team follows arrollando to his rivals as it did it with the Betis, the offensive trident will keep . By the contrary, if they go back the doubts in the creation, again will bet by the four midfield players to ensure the poseción and the occupation of spaces.

In fact, the diagram can alternate the 4-3-3 with the 4-4-2, even, keeping to Joao Félix in the eleven, since the luso is more a mediapunta that a born extreme, unlike Lamine and Raphinha. When Lewandowski have to rest, Ferran will do the times of '9' and Gavi will keep on being the 'joker' by left, although it sees him more comfortable like interior that thrown to the side. The 'puzzle' of Xavi is complex, but supposes a pleasant headache in front of the quality and variety of alternatives that has the staff culé.
