Barcelona manager, Xavi has come out to say that the club has a psychological issue. He recently revealed that it is clear that his players are lacking courage at the moment.
According to him, however, there is still enough talent in the Blaugrana’s ranks to be successful, but his boys must be brave enough to start challenging the elite again.
Xavi added that it is his job to make his players believe in themselves and his ideas as manager.
His words, “It is a psychological issue rather than a football one,”
“They have to believe it and that is my job. We are encouraging them to dare and be brave. At Barcelona it’s not worth playing 6/10 or 7/10. You have to aim for excellence.”
“This is what is missing. Courage, aiming high and not low because that is not what Barcelona do. Being brave and understanding the game, we are not that far from what we want.”
“The squad has the level to compete and win titles. In the Bayern game there was also a psychological aspect, but also [a sign that] habits have been lost.”
