Xavi asks for the signing of a 9 urgently for the winter

Xavi Hernandez It only took two games to realize what the main problem of the current one was FC Barcelona. It is a squad that, despite being very talented with a mix of promising youngsters and experienced players, has very little individual goal. And a clear example was lived in yesterday’s game against Benfica for the fifth day of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

The Barça team was far superior to their rival in the game. Pressing well throughout the court, they moved the ball with great speed and generated advantages so that their most unbalancing pieces made the difference, but when it was time to give the last touch, they lacked that quality touch necessary to open the scoring.

Xavi asks for the signing of a 9 urgently

The collective functioning has changed in an impressive way, both at the level of the board and in the impact on the court. It is a team that, with so little time, is showing that it feels comfortable with this dynamic promoted by its new coaching staff. The improvement is substantial compared to the stage of Ronald Koeman, but the players remain the same and the deficiencies are still part of the daily bread.

Barcelona does not have a world-class center forward and, unlike Manchester City, which does not have an offensive reference, it does not have a second line of footballers capable of compensating for the absence of that piece in the squad. Memphis Depay is a footballer of a different profile and Luuk de Jong does not seem to finish convincing Xavi Hernández to start “his team”.

The only one who transmits having that differential poison is Ansu Fati, who is getting closer and closer to returning to the courts after his injury. But, despite having him, it is not enough to have only one player capable of making a difference in the last stretch of the court.

Necessary transfer

The Barça coach told Joan Laporta that the center forward position is the most necessary to reinforce. It is an urgency to be able to lift the team on a sporting and emotional level. It is a role that cannot be left out.

Xavi is confident in the way his team works and their ability to generate dangerous opportunities, but it is necessary to have a reference that can transform everything into goals. Someone who brings them closer to victory and away from defeat.

The first big request for the market is a striker, whether of the first level or who fits in with the idea of ​​the game that the new club coaching staff is wanting to promote.
