Tension Rises in Barcelona Locker Room After Shakhtar Defeat: Xavi’s Crisis Meeting Aims to Rebuild Trust
“There has been a lot of tension and a lot of nerves in the Barca locker room after their defeat to Shakhtar,” reports El Chiringuito’s Jose Alvarez, shedding light on the aftermath of the 1-0 loss.
“Trust is being lost between players and coaches,” adds the reporter, a sentiment confirmed by Barcelona players like Joao Cancelo, with Ter Stegen acknowledging the anger in the dressing room following the disappointing result.
However, the assertion of a lack of trust between Barca players and their coaches is met with skepticism, despite recent unconvincing performances. Xavi reportedly took immediate action, organizing a crisis meeting on Wednesday upon the team’s return from Germany, aiming to soothe frayed nerves and mend any shaky relationships among the players.
As Barcelona prepares for their next game against Deportivo Alaves, nothing less than a statement win is deemed acceptable to alleviate the mounting tensions within the team.
