Not conceding goals: Xavi's 'special' request to the Barça players

The FC Barcelona went back to win in LaLiga and is, virtually, the champion of winter of LaLiga Santander waiting for contesting the pending party against the Real Betis. They have achieved it after a victory importantísima and of a lot of character in front of a Girona that, in the last minutes of the party, looked for untiringly the tie... But topó in front of a defensive wall.

In addition to the insurance of life that is Marc-André ter Stegen, the defensive solidity of the Barça is being the big point for of the Barcelona in this 2023. In January, the Barcelona picture did not fit goals in LaLiga and served to add nine of nine possible points, curiously with victories by the minimum. It is a point in which it has insisted Xavi Hernández untiringly.

The trainer egarense has left clear to the players of the Barça the importance to leave the goal in zero and add all to the defensive works. Like this it has it desvelado Gavi after the party against the Girona, this Saturday in Montilivi. It aimed that Xavi "says us that it is necessary to have the goal to zero and that already will come the goals, and this is what do".

The plan Is resulting him of wonders to Xavi, because the Barça is the team less goleado in the Leagues of Europe, with differences. In 18 parties contested, the Barcelona only have fit six targets and have left his goal in zero in fourteen parties. To fault that it contest the Betis-Barça, close the first turn of the championship suspender belt habiando fit only in four parties: against the Real Sociedad, Real Madrid, Osasuna and Espanyol.

Find the way to the goal, more difficult

Although in the defensive plot the Barça has answered of way sensacional, in this month of January the goal has resisted him more than the account to the Barcelona, at least in LaLiga. In the three parties that have contested (Athletic, Getafe and Girona), the ones of Xavi only have annotated three targets, one in each one. Can accuse to the absence of Robert Lewandowski, that for the next parties yes will be available after fulfilling his sanction.
