Much of the criticism faced by Xavi this season is not only because of the results, but because he ignored a large number of Barcelona’s talents and stars.
Several Catalan newspapers launched a scathing attack on Xavi because he ignored the Catalan team’s star in a strange behavior.
It is noteworthy that Barcelona tied with Napoli in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League with a goal for each team, awaiting the decisive match in the return match in front of Barcelona fans at the Montjuïc Stadium.
According to information received from Spanish reports, the situation of Brazilian team star Vitor Roque raises concerns after the player gradually dropped from the accounts of Spanish coach Xavi Hernandez.
Xavi had kept the Brazilian player on the bench in the last matches, even as the Catalan team’s offensive stance worsened, but he did not bring the player on despite that.
Even in the Napoli match, despite Barcelona’s need for the player, Xavi made three substitutions, and Vitor Roque was not among them.
“Sport” newspaper indicated that Laporta spoke with the Spanish coach and told him to give the player some minutes to play and gain the necessary confidence to be an effective element with the team next season.
