Xavi's bad run of results at Barça makes him 'overcome' Ernesto Valverde

The FC Barcelona follows without being able to enderezar his sportive course. Although the Barcelona cast showed in front of Valencia CF an image that invites to the optimism regarding a possible mejoría in the future, the reality is that the ones of Xavi Hernández lack solutions in offensive matter, having lost by complete the puntería of face to the arch. Regarding the defence, shows an improper fragility of the names that custodian the fortress culé.

Besides, the recent statistics do not back the work of the technician of Terrassa in the last months in the club. After the tie in front of Valencia CF, the picture blaugrana great his third consecutive meeting without attaining add three points, having suffered previously two defeats, one in front of the Amberes (3-2) in the Champions League and another against the Girona (4-2) in LaLiga.

This has turned into a negative milestone for the egarense, since in the 113 duels that has headed to the square of the City Condal, is the fifth time that his group chains three consecutive commitments without winning. This is the first time that occurs in this campaign, having given once the past course, another at the end of the period 2021/2022 and beginning of the 2022/2023, and to the start of his cycle in the club, linking in two occasions other three crosses followed without being able to erigirse like the victorious.

Xavi already left backwards to varied of his predecessors in this section

However, this register begins to be worrisome, since the Catalan every time surpasses to his predecessors, some of which were condemned by several desaciertos in his cycles. For example, Ronald Koeman had two series of three parties or more without winning in 67 meetings. Before that the Dutch, was Quique Setién, the one who in the 25 clashes that directed did not have the opportunity to chain a series of this type.

Ernesto Valverde, one that surpasses him in parties (145) only had four series. His predecessor, Luis Enrique, the one who added 181 crosses, only attained to chain three seguidillas of this style, coming behind him, Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, the one who in the 59 clashes that was in the Barcelona bench, only cuajó two series.

The one of Terrassa still is far to reach to Rijkaard

Already with registers more pulcros in this sense, Tito Vilanova in his year like trainer culé (44 crosses), only linked an only series of three meetings without winning. Already with Pep Guardiola that was 247 duels at the head of the Barcelona only chained four seguidillas of this type.

Between so much, in this unlucky register, to Xavi Hernández, in a near sense, only remains him equalise to Frank Rijkaard with 272 duels and the one who saw submerged in a series of this style in nine occasions. This in a context more convulso for the club, that faced a process of restructuring in that then. Nevertheless, the one of Terrassa has to avoid equalise these registers calamitosos and try give him a dump to the situation of a combined that has potential, but has not attained the efficiency wished.
