Koeman surpasses Xavi as Barça coach, according to Josep Pedrerol's video survey

Koeman surpasses Xavi as coach of Barça, according to the result of the video-survey that Josep Pedrerol asked the readers of La Vanguardia a week ago.

With Barça eliminated from the Champions League at the first opportunity, the question was whether Xavi (on paper, with a better team than Koeman had), has managed to improve the Dutchman's performance as coach. Six out of ten opinions lean towards "no".

The web user clark20 states in the comments of the debate opened by Pedrerol: "Improving what was bad was not that difficult. Well, not even that!". "Not by a long shot," sentences jvergero.

As aliasn3w1j recalls, "Koeman won a Copa del Rey and no signings. Also, when they kicked him out we had 6 points in the Champions League and we depended on us to get through to the second round. Without a doubt, Koeman was better." “Do we know why they kicked him out?” he asks. And he answers himself: "Because they didn't want anything to do with Bartumeu."

For aliaszerqa, "we are the same or worse, with some unmotivated and downcast players." And AYNRAND assures that "Xavi is a machine to lose eliminatory".

"No, Barça is once again in a critical situation a year later. Haste is a bad adviser and now it's time to suffer," says Manu 54.

Another web user, aliasm1v4j comments: "He hasn't improved it, taking into account that Xavi has the squad that he has asked the club (the lever club), that is, Xavi has better players than Koeman had, yes. If we add this, the result is even more worrying".

The debate has also been intense on social networks with Twitter and Youtube users of La Vanguardia.

In the networks, Gabriel Céspedes affirms: "Barca is in a crisis from which it will be difficult to get out, it is a very long process."

"Well, let's see if they can find a prestigious coach now who wants to come to Barça to destroy his CV," questions Luis Muñoz.

"Koman was better than Xavi as a footballer," says Carlos. Leandro Bustillos assures that Barça "improved a lot" with the new coach.
