I'm not a fan of Barcelona, but really Xave is doing things very well, I like their attitude and the attitude of Dani Alves, they really prove to be people who support and love the team, and that is to be recognized, there are no players like that Currently, they do feel love for Barcelona, it is a pity that they have lost Messi, it would have been magical to see them all on the field, if this they are doing to remind their players of the true essence of Barcelona football, they are doing it very good, and a victory is a victory, the team needs good news.
I will judge his impact after some matches, but as things look right now, there isn't so much change except hope and attitude. Lots of people expected Xavi to instill the old tikitaka philosophy into the team, but to me, it will be very hard to do that. Perhaps he will need a lot of time and support. Maybe 2-3 years, regardless of how poorly Barcelona will perform.
Wow, I remember the tikitaka, although those were some of the best moements for Barcelona at the time Pep Guardiola was there, when Real Madrid had Mourinho and there was the rivalry between both teams, they came to be said to be publicly rude, then the Xavi's style may have been copied, but since football is changeable and has so many players with different talents, that sometimes when compared to that era, the tikitaka may be keeping it as their final strategy when they completely dominate it.
