On Monday, several thousand “Blaugranas” fans found their way to Nou Camp, who did not want to miss the performance of Xavi as the new coach of FC Barcelona. Fans of the Catalan big club expect immediate miracles from the club legend and a 180 degree turn of the rudder.
Xavi was well aware from the beginning that there was by no means a walk in the rose garden.
Getting the Catalan big club back to prominence will cost a lot of hard work and discipline. The Dutch successor Ronald Koeman knows this well, and it is precisely because of this that he introduced strict new rules in the cabin almost immediately after his appointment.
One of them says that players must come to the club complex at least an hour and a half before the start of training.
IT WILL ALWAYS BE A DOUBLE
He broke this rule on Friday morning Ousmane Dembelewho arrived at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper the 8:33, while the training itself was scheduled for 10:00. This means that he was three minutes late, for which, according to ESPN Deportes, Xavi fined him.
The 24-year-old French winger is the first “Blaugranas” footballer to feel Xavi’s uncompromisingness first-hand. On the other hand, it also shows that Dembélém really cares about the new Catalan coach.
Under the leadership of Ronald Koeman, he did not play much due to several health problems. In total, Dembélé competed in the Barcelona jersey this season with only one single match. It was in early November in the Champions League in a duel on the ground of Dynamo Kyiv.

Immediately at his first press conference after taking office, Xavi emphasized that the former Borussie Dortmund player should play a significant role in the Catalan capital in the future: “Dembélé can be the best player in the world in his position. He has all the qualities to become a superstar.
On the other hand, he still needs to work hard on himself, and we must have high expectations of him. It is important that he himself is happy, but I believe that he has created great football conditions to help Barcelona. The key is to show a winning mentality as well as stable performance. ”
The rule that players must arrive at the team complex at least 90 minutes before the start of training is just one of the ten new principles that Xavi introduced on his return to the Catalan big club. Other rules state, for example, that players must eat exclusively during the day in the training complex or cannot arrive home later than midnight for 48 hours before the match.
Next time, Ousmane Dembélé will be careful not to exceed the limits set by the new coach. According to SPORTbible namely, Xavi set the rules so that the amount of the fine automatically doubled for each additional offense.
