There are certain things Xavi doesn’t compromise on no matter the system, the players or the opponent. Those are his non-negotiables.
During Barcelona’s three preseason games, we caught a glimpse of Xavi’s non-negotiables once more. In every game, without exception, Barcelona looked to do similar - if not the very same - things over and over again. For better or worse.
So what are these non negotiables? How do they translate on the pitch?
In this video we dissect it. From formation maps to tactics to how they come to life in actual games. Will it be enough for Barca to do a deep CL run and win La Liga this season? Only time will tell. For the moment though we get an idea of the blueprint. The framework.
Hope you enjoy it.
