If there is a drastic improvement in performance then Xavi will have cleared his first hurdle but it will not be easy. The big idea is clear and so is the desire to make things work. Those who have worked with the new Barca coach on the training ground say he has all the clarity and charisma to be able to get his ideas across in an understandable way - but the test will be if the players are able to play with the intelligence and intensity demanded. Just how realistic is it to expect the current squad to assimilate those ideas and be able to put them into practice? We will find out on Saturday night. The former Manchester City defender and Spain international is well-placed to make the comparison. ‘I see some of Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique,’ Barcelona defender Eric Garcia told Diario Sport this week. He wants his defence sat high, squeezing the pitch so the game is played in the opposition’s half, he wants a winger on either side opening the pitch up, and he wants speed and intensity of movement off the ball so as to create multiple options for players on the ball and numerical superiority in key areas of the pitch. He wants a ferocious press with the team racing forward to win the ball back as quickly as possible when possession is lost instead of racing back into a low defensive block.Ī big onus will be placed on Memphis Depay, who is Barca's top scorer in LaLiga with six goals That’s the manpower - what about the methods? Xavi has spent the last week trying to instil the fundamental points of his philosophy with the players he has had at his disposal - those not injured or on international duty. Xavi looks like overlooking the club’s most expensive player, Philippe Coutinho, and turning instead to 19-year-old Moroccan left winger Abde Ezzalzouli or to 17-year-old right winger Ilias Akhomach. That would enable Gavi to play further forward with Depay leaving one more starting berth for a third forward. In midfield, Busquets will anchor flanked by Nico and Frenkie de Jong. With Dani Alves watching from the stands and counting down the days until he can be registered (from January 1), it will probably be Sergio Roberto or Oscar Mingueza who starts ahead of Sergino Dest who has a back problem. The doubt is over who plays at right back. In defence Gerard Pique will partner Eric Garcia with Jordi Alba at left back.

Up front Memphis Depay, Luuk de Jong and 18-year-old Yusuf Demir should all be available but Xavi is likely to pick only the former and use Gavi further forward along with a youngster drafted in from the B-team.
