FC Barcelona VS. Sevilla: Huge Lineup Changes From Xavi.
FC Barcelona faced off against Sevilla in a highly anticipated match that featured significant lineup changes under the guidance of their new manager, Xavi Hernandez. This clash was eagerly awaited by fans and football enthusiasts alike, as it promised to provide insights into Xavi's vision for the team.
One of the most striking alterations in Xavi's lineup was his commitment to the traditional Barcelona style of play. He emphasized ball possession, quick passing, and positional awareness, which have been hallmarks of the club's success over the years. Xavi selected midfielders who could orchestrate the game from the center of the park, ensuring that Barcelona dominated possession.
Midfielder:-
The big change to the system in 2023 has been the four-midfielder formation with Gavi on the left wing and Frenkie De Jong playing almost as a double pivot with Sergio Busquets, freeing Pedri to attack the box and be everywhere on the pitch. All four midfielders are enjoying their new roles, and the team has benefited tremendously from this change.
Unless the boss decides to rest one of the four, which is unlikely with the upcoming break, expect to see all of them again in this one. Barça have also improved their pressing with the new system, which could prove crucial against a Sevilla team that tries to build from the back with Sampaoli.
Head coach Xavi Hernandez fulfilled his promise of rotating the team before Tuesday's 2-2 away draw at Mallorca.
Keeping 27 of them in all competitions last season, goalkeeper Ter Stegen seeks his first clean sheet in three matches after conceding four goals in the past 180 minutes.
