Instability at FC Barcelona
In this final stretch of the season, FC Barcelona is experiencing complicated weeks. Joan Laporta’s second term as president of the club is not meeting expectations and his decisions are generating discomfort among both the fans and some managers close to the president.
The uncertainty around Xavi Hernández
One of the most controversial topics is the situation of Xavi Hernández. The comings and goings around his continuity have generated confusion and bewilderment. It seems that the club is aimless and there is no clear direction. The coach’s statements before the game against Almería have once again fueled criticism and now it seems that his departure is imminent.
Player discontent
Some players in the locker room are also showing their discomfort with Xavi Hernández. His way of acting is not being well received and this is reflected in his behavior on and off the field. Important players with weight in the team are expressing their discontent, which raises doubts about the atmosphere in the locker room.
Robert Lewandowski: controversial substitutions
One of the most striking cases is that of Robert Lewandowski. Despite being one of the team’s key players, he has been substituted in the last four consecutive games. His facial expression makes it clear how dissatisfied he is every time Xavi decides to replace him, especially when the title of top scorer is at stake.
Vitor Roque: inexplicable ostracism
Another case that has generated controversy is that of Vitor Roque. The Brazilian player has had little participation in recent games, even being on the field for only 17 minutes in the match against Almería. His absence from the team has raised questions and his possible departure has become one of the hottest topics at the club.
João Félix: lack of minutes
João Félix’s situation is also strange. Despite being considered an important player, he has had few minutes in recent games. His anger became evident during the warm-up of the match against Real Sociedad, when he looked towards the box. His role in the team and his lack of minutes have raised questions about his future at the club.
Raphinha: gestures of discomfort
Raphinha, another key player in the team, has also shown his discontent in some situations. His negative gestures and attitudes during last season seemed to have disappeared, but they have reappeared. His discomfort became evident when he was replaced by João Félix in the match against Valencia, and he did not like being a substitute in the match against Girona either.
Ronald Araujo: disagreements with the coach
Ronald Araujo, another important player in the squad, has also expressed his disagreements with Xavi Hernández. However, it seems that the two have had conversations to resolve their differences.
