Xavi Hernández had in mind in summer a plantila very different to which has finished having the FC Barcelona this season. In 'Sport' desvelan that the trainer of Terrassa faced the past market veraniego with four very clear signings in his head: Leo Messi, Martín Zubimendi, Bernardo Silva and Juan Foyth. The Catalan technician did all the possible so that the club fichara to these footballers, but finally did not arrive any of them.
The egarense took long and worked a lot to convince to these players, speaking individually in several occasions with all they. With Zubimendi, to the one who the míster saw key for suceder to Sergio Busquets in the mediocentro of the Barça, even kept five videoconferences. Also it spoke several times with Bernardo, being in this case Joan Laporta in front, with Foyth and obviously with Messi, with the one who keeps a good relation of friendship.
However, all this effort fell in 'sack broken', since it did not serve for nothing. The FC Barcelona did not attain the margin salarial sufficient to tackle any of these operations and at the end Xavi had to conform with Joao Félix in place of Messi and Bernardo, with Joao Cancel instead of Foyth and with Oriol Romeu in place of Zubimendi. This trastocó of start the plans of the technician, that since has had to face this campaign with a different staff to what thought and with some lacks in the team that did not arrive to amend, as it is the case of the mediocentro.
Xavi has serious doubts of the planning of the Barça this summer
This summer, in spite of the titanic effort that will do the club for at least fichar a pivote of some level, everything aims that the signings 'top' will go back to shine by his absence. The Fair Play follows atosigando to the entity, that does not go to be able to manoeuvre in the market as it would like him and that even will have to sell to some active valuable to do box and reduce mass salarial. This is something that throws very for backwards to Xavi, that does not seem by the work to begin another season without the reinforcements that he considers fundamental to compete byeverything .
Laporta Wants to convince to the of Terrassa and in the directive has some optimism with this, seeing the improvement of the team in LaLiga and hovers it that they are the semifinals of Champions League. However, for the trainer is very important the planning of the course that comes and is still thinking that it is necessary fichar to several players that will not be cheap precisely. Zubimendi And Bernardo seems that they keep on being very of the like of the míster, that probably goes to go back to ask them to follow another year more in the bench. It will be necessary to see if Laporta can promise him at least one of the two signings or if it achieves that the egarense recapacite and accept to remain in spite of that the arrivals can not being his preferred.
