The original sin

Date:

The resignation of Xavi This has been the subject of much speculation and debate. What if the lack of confidence in the staff, what if the mental fatigue, what if the poor performance of some players, what if the environment, etc.

Everything is open to debate, but what is indisputable, which we have highlighted throughout the season, is that all of the above is predicted from the strategic disaster that Xavi He doesn’t know how to take shortcuts. That slow and tedious 4-3-3, with its absurd and unlimited horizontal ball movement, and leaving generous space behind the defense is the main reason. It is incomprehensible that someone who has become everything in football does not see the danger of leaving the opponent 35/40 meters away for a counterattack. in between Girona, real Madrid (Super Cup), Athletic (Cup) and Villarreal They scored 17 goals from play (except one from the penalty) that made it to the kitchen. And let’s not even talk about those received in the first minute.

A year ago, included Gavi the fourth midfielder reacted and won League and Super Cup. Now, without him, the option to recover the solidity of the group can be based on three center-backs, two wing-backs, three midfielders and two strikers (from 5-3-2 to 3-5-2). But always with speed, creating spaces, and not with speed and pressing the ball. The data is explicit: on Saturday there were 663 passes (400 more than the rival), of which 232 in the last third of the field, where, with only 77 passes, the Villarreal He scored 6 goals, one disallowed. Of course, they won the disastrous possession (71% to 29%), which largely reflects the tactical disturbances that cause a crisis of unexpected proportions.
