It’s clear that Barcelona’s 4-1 defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final wasn’t a one-off; it’s a sign of the ongoing crisis within the club.
However, Xavi remains optimistic that he is capable of turning things around, Mundo Deportivo report. And he already has a plan in mind.
The head coach understands he needs his defence to function the way it did last year. For that, he needs Ter Stegen to recover from his injury. He wants to work with Kounde and Araujo to bring back their last season’s form.
Secondly, Cancelo and Inigo Martinez are expected to come back soon from their injuries. Xavi believes that their returns will help the Catalans’ character on the pitch.
Thirdly, he plans to utilise new signing Vitor Roque to help solve Barcelona’s issues up front.
