Barcelona head coach Xavi drew his own conclusions from last Sunday’s 3-5 home loss to Villarreal.
He announced right after the match that he plans to leave the coaching of the club he loves.
At the same time, Xavi’s entire career practically ends at the end of the bench, because he has never wanted to coach any team other than his foster club.
However, the resignation announcement has had the desired outcome: Barcelona has already won two matches in a row since then.
Osasuna’s teenage star fell on Wednesday Vitor Roque with a goal of 1–0.
The 18-year-old brass star also played a major role on Saturday, when Barça claimed an away victory in Vitoria, the capital of the Basque Country.
This time Vitor Roque completed the 1-3 final numbers after just over an hour as he continued Héctor Fortin to the lower back corner of the center.
However, the youngster picked up a yellow just four minutes later when his elbow landed Nahuel Tenagliaa to the face.
And five minutes from the previous referee Juan Martinez warned Vitor Roque again and at the same time showered him with a red card.
Xavi didn’t want to believe the verdict, and at least based on the slow-motion pictures, the attacker didn’t make a very serious mistake.
The sole of Brass’s football boot could be slanted Rafa Marín thigh, but the situation was mainly an accident, and there was absolutely no intention to hurt the Alavés top scorer.
However, the home team was not able to take advantage of their man advantage, and thus Barcelona was able to travel home with a solid away win.
