"Xavi will fill the Camp Nou": hopes around Barcelona's new coach
In Catalonia, we marked the damage that the new "Mister" might repair: the home player who gets one last chance, the "outcast" who starts from scratch and the task that only Tuchel succeeded in.
And also: the decisive step towards Pika

We have not yet seen his impact on the team and it probably will not happen in the first game, but until Xavi first stands on the lines of Barcelona, the local media continue to deal with changes that should occur following the arrival of the sergeant to the coaching position.
On the topic: the return of the crowd and the rehabilitation of players who were neglected by Xavi's predecessors in the role, or who did not realize their potential in the Blaugrana uniform.
"Xavi will fill Camp Nou again," Sport reported this morning (Wednesday), hoping fans will return to the stadium where this season saw baldness that has not been more than a decade.
"There has never been such an atmosphere in a coach's show. If he manages to have fun on the bench, even though today it feels like an illusion, they will start repairing the damage at Camp Nou - because he will be refilled."

One of the players who is happiest about Xavi's arrival is Ricky Pouch, the 22-year-old midfielder who plays in the position he starred as his new coach, but so far has not been able to prove he belongs to the highest levels as intended, not least due to the few minutes he received from Ernesto Valverda. Kika Stein and Ronald Koeman. Now, Catalonia believe that for Pouch it is a "last chance" to succeed at Barça and justify his decision to stay on the team despite the voices calling on him to look for minutes of play elsewhere.
Sport also presented Xavi with a professional challenge regarding Osman Dembele: the Catalans noted that the extremist flourished under Thomas Tuchel in Dortmund, but Barcelona did not yet have a coach who could successfully coach him like the German, which Xavi will try to do to get the Frenchman to finally demonstrate. The skills for which he was acquired for hundreds of millions of euros.
Another French player hoping to open a new page is Samuel Eto'o.
The brakeman, who has not played since the last round last season, gave up his summer break to prepare at the height of his energy and even stated in an interview at the end of the break that he was back in better shape than he was when he joined the club, which did not help him be taken into account by Koeman.
Omititi also knows that under Xavi everyone starts from scratch and that this is his "last chance" to get his career back on track, after Barcelona made every possible effort to get rid of him.

Meanwhile, Xavi is also trying to neutralize background noise and is taking a "short" approach towards the veteran players, who have even collaborated with him on the pitch in the past: Radio Coupe reported that the new coach has canceled Gerard Pique the interview he planned to give to a TV show in Madrid.
