Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona’s manager, decides to stop using star player in wrong position

The pressure is mounting for Xavi Hernandez as Barcelona struggles with recent back-to-back defeats and internal challenges. With the team limping into the Champions League knockout stages and facing a seven-point deficit at the top of the La Liga table, Xavi is facing increasing scrutiny. One of the internal challenges has been the position of defender Ronald Araujo, who has expressed frustration at playing out of position. However, recent reports suggest a shift in the defensive line-up that may help Barcelona address their defensive struggles.

Barcelona Coach Xavi Feeling Pressure after Consecutive Defeats
Pressure is mounting on Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez after the team’s recent losses to Girona and Royal Antwerp. The team just scraped through to the knockout stages of the Champions League and currently sits seven points behind the La Liga leaders.

Internally, there have been issues, with defender Ronald Araujo expressing frustration at being played out of position at right-back. However, reports indicate that Araujo will now only play as a centre-back, with Jules Kounde or Joao Cancelo likely to take over at right-back. This move is seen as crucial in addressing Barcelona’s defensive problems and turning their season around.
