6 good things to expect straight away if Xavi replaces Valverde

  • Inspire the dressing room: Xavi is a very ambitious man and he will never settle for anything less than the treble; the squad will follow his example.
  • Barca will finally play with proper wingers: Leo Messi and Antoine Griezmann aren’t wingers as they like to play closer to the centre; in their best days Barca played with pure wingers like Pedro.
  • Solve the right-back dilemma: Ernesto Valverde has spent two and a half seasons at Barca but can’t pick one between Sergi Roberto and Nelson Semedo; Xavi will most likely settle for one.
  • Build the midfield around Sergio Busquets: Sergio played alongside Xavi for a long time so he is most likely to become the key figure in midfield with Frenkie de Jong and Arthur supporting him.
  • More action to the youngsters: the 39-year-old knows how important it is for La Masia players to be involved with the seniors and he will give more playing time to the likes of Ansu Fati and Riqui Puig.
  • Conflicts with the board: Xavi won’t let the board make signings without his approval (like Malcom) and will insist on building the squad himself.
