Earlier this week, Xavi Hernandez opted to stay on as head coach of Barcelona, despite stating on many occasions since January that he would be stepping down in the summer. Joan Laporta and Deco pushed hard to retain the 44-year-old’s services, and highlighted his use of youth players as being a big reason for him to remain in the position.
The likes of Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi and Fermin Lopez have flourished since being handed their first team debuts at Barcelona, but according to Sport, another whose career could stagnate by Xavi staying is Mikayil Faye.
In recent weeks, Barcelona have confirmed that Faye will not be leaving in the summer, despite strong interest. The 19-year-old will be promoted to the first team and given plentiful opportunities, which was explained by Deco to the teenager’s representatives in a recent meeting.
However, the report states that with Xavi staying, Inigo Martinez will almost certainly remain at Barcelona, and will not be sold. This would affect Faye’s chances of playing, especially considering that Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi and Andreas Christensen are the other options at centre-back.
None of these four look like leaving in the summer, which left Martinez as the prime candidate. However, if he stays, Faye’s chances of being an option in the Barcelona first team would reduce drastically, and such, it would place his future at the club in doubt.

there are injuries, once given a chance, he must wisely utilize it. We have witnessed a number of players in the team there playing time came as a result of injuries

The team and tactics have gradually been improving. Now improvements in mental toughness is key and also adding some strength to some of the young players like Pedri. Also, some long range shooting, especially by midfielders.

Yamal, Kounde, balde that made Barcelona relax Alba, are all whites too. Please, stop defending stupidity. Everything isn't Racism.
Bro, try get my point. Kunde, Yamal, and Rafinha are missed skins, when i say Xavi don't like players with black skin, I mean players with their nationality west,south,East and Central Africans not north Africa or players whom have a half white parents

Xavi decision to stay is a very bad and wrong one. So the humiliation suffered so far in the hand of Real Madrid and other clubs like Girona means nothing to the Barca management. Now given that Mpape will be with Real Madrid next season and Ancelote will still be coach of Madrid, it means that the humiliation will be worst.
Noise maker,how many times as Xavi beat Madrid compared to Madrid beating Barcelona?

if their was any white kid or Spanish/Catalan player that was on the same level with dembele on the right wing, I bet you dembele would be frozen out of the starting line up, it was obvious that dembele was barca best player before he left, And Besides if Barca was winning matches in the absence of Dembele do you think Xavi would have called him back into the starting eleven when he was restricted to the bench as a result of not singing a new contract

Sometimes, I wonder how most people think. U think Barcelona would let Fati leave because of Xavi if he was still good? U think every decision involving the whites and the blacks must be racial? Stop being childish please. Xavi practically begged Dembele to stay, I guess Dembele is white right?

He benched Jordi Alba who is a former teammate and personal friend and gave his space to Alejandro Balde an 18 year old African kid.... How do you explain that?
Balde was already a starter under koman before Xavi came and beside Balde was not making the starting line up last season before he went to injury, you forgot Xavi was opting for a three man center back that was outlining Balde out of the starting eleven, So please don't even go their by trying to justify Xavi here.

this article is nit convincing at all. what is the probability that if a new coach come, he will get plenty of chances. Xavier has demonstrated that with youngsters.... he will get his chances under him....
