Spanish coach Xavi Hernandez, coach of FC Barcelona, began planning for the future of the Catalan team’s career, whether in the domestic league championship or the European League competition.
And according to what was published by the Spanish newspaper “AS”, Xavi Hernandez has already started working on the next matches that his team will have to face, despite the fact that the competition will stop for nearly two weeks due to international commitments.
And the newspaper pointed out, that the Blaugrana coach developed a tight plan to play the two matches of Seville in the La Liga championship and Eintracht in the European League competition.
And the newspaper said that the Uruguayan player, Ronald Araujo, the center of the Barca defense, who was called up with his national team, will be a substitute against Sevilla and plays a key player against Eintracht, to be able to repeat his appearance on the right wing, given the confirmed absence of Aldost and Alves.
However, the next game that preoccupies Xavi and worries him is the Sevilla match, which will be played on April 3 at the Camp Nou, a match where second place will be at stake: Barcelona’s victory equals his points with Sevilla with 57 points, but with a better goal average, after They tied (1-1) at Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
The newspaper noted, that during this match Xavi will still be unable to count on Sergino Dust – he injured the biceps femoris in his left leg in the match against Galatasaray last Thursday.
And she confirmed, that Xavi will have to resort to Dani Alves, despite the fact that the veteran was called up for an arduous journey with his country to play two official matches of the World Cup qualifiers in Qatar (Chile and Bolivia).
At first it seems difficult for Alves to play both matches for his country, but in any case, he will return to Barcelona for the training session on Friday, and the match will be held on Sunday.
She indicated that Ronald Araujo is in the same position, but in the case of the center of the defense it will be managed in a different way, first, because Araujo will play both matches (Peru and Chile),
And the second thing, that Xavi cannot risk losing the defender considering that after four days the first leg of the quarter-final against Eintracht will be played without Alves or Dest in a team, which is why he needs Araujo ready and ready to repeat his great performance in El Clásico, starting from the right wing.
For the time being, and if there is no change in plans, Araujo will start the match against Sevilla from the bench.
By and large, Xavi will not be able to find out what players are available to prepare for the match against Sevilla until Friday 1 April: there are 11 players who will participate with the National, and the current situation is that the South American players (Alves and Araujo) are the ones who worry the staff the most, because they will be the last Who returns and also with a long journey behind them.
The other internationals (Javi, Alba, Ferran, Pedri, Eric, Nico, Memphis, Luke and Frenkie) have more room to maneuver and recover, so their availability is guaranteed if there is no setback in the form of injuries.
