FC BARCELONA may have started their 2008/2009 Spanish League
campaign with a “goal drought”& with harsh criticisms from media &
fans on new coach Guardiola´s strategy & line-ups, but it seems that
these “uncertainties” were squashed last Sunday with Barça 1-6
thrashing of Sporting de Gijon in the Spanish League.
Not only were their plenty of goals with questioned Eto´o scoring &
Messi also getting into the act, but midfielder Iniesta shone brilliantly
along with Xavi Hernandez. It is with these last two names that Barça
should be celebrating & feeling confident about their future.
The FC Barcelona midfield combination of XAVI HERNANDEZ &
ANDRES INIESTA has played a vital part in 9 out of Barça 10 goals
scored to date. Xavi Hernandez was voted EURO 2008 Best player & the
form that gave him that prize is continuing & evolving to greater heights.
Quite frankly, Xavi Hernandez is maturing like a fine wine & is arguably
– if not – one of the World´s great midfielders. Added to this, his “partner in
crime” both at Barça & the Spanish National side, midfielder Andres Iniesta
is now exploding onto the Spanish & World Football stage in such a way
that it can only give rise to confidence & optimism for the future.
With this observation, the FC Barcelona forwards – Eto´o , Messi, Henry,
Bojan, Pedro…etc – can only rub their hands in delight as they will be
guaranteed a healthy supply of passes , balls & set ups that will ensure that
they put them into the back of the net. Barça fans will also benefit from the
multiples joys as Xavi & Iniesta are midfielders that arrive from midfield
lines to score goals & thus will participate in the future goal feasts, plus save
them from difficult match situations.
In conclusion, as long as both Xavi & Iniesta stay clear of injury, Barça
will develope into a dangerous, winning & feared side. It´s a question of time
& patience as new coach Guardiola puts in place his view of how things
should run. SFS is sure that FC Barcelona has benefited from its 1-6 victory
over Sporting de Gijon last Sunday to inject the “mental faith” needed to
believe in themselves, shrug off criticisms & set course for Football glory.
A Football glory that both Iniesta & Xavi will be fundamental!

I agree about the quality of Xavi and Iniesta but I disagree about Guardiola´s future, I think that he is not ready to coach this club and the Gijon´s result does not say anything, because Sporting is a very weak team and besides it played with 10 players many minutes of the game.
