Dani Alves RETURNS to FC Barcelona! Raheem Sterling LOAN to Barca? Xavi‘s Rules and Aguero Update.

The BarcaBreakdown discuss Xavi's 10 rules implemented to help restore order to the team, the return of Dani Alves to Barca and Laporta's comments about a possible Raheem Sterling transfer. We also discuss Samuel Umtiti impressing Xavi in training and Sergio Aguero's health updates which do not look positive yet.

Xavi has implemented 10 new rules to help ensure Barca players are on time to practice, as well as rules to foster camaraderie amongst the team by having the players eat together. In order to get the best out of youth players like Gavi, Nico, Fati etc. Xavi is clearly starting with an orderly team to make sure everyone buys into his team vision. He is also implementing a meritocracy, so that the players who perform best in game and in practice are allowed to play the most. This is a great start to try and make sure veteran leaders like Pique, Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Sergi Roberto know that they can no longer count on starting due to their seniority.

Dani Alves has returned! Dani Alves is the player with the most trophies in the history of soccer with 43. After playing with FC Barcelona between 2008-2016, he has finally returned. Though we do not think he has the ability to start big games at his age of 38, we believe Alves can be crucial to mentoring young players. We think as a right back he can be especially crucial to help Sergino Dest continue to improve and master the position.

We discuss how Samuel Umtiti is impressing in training, so much so that Xavi singled him out and congratulated his effort so far. Sergio Aguero has not very good news from the medical team, and may be forced to retire pending tests after a 90 day no training period. We hope he is healthy and can recover well.
