JAKARTA - After silencing Sevilla 3-0 in La Liga last weekend, Xavi Hernandez invited his players to sit down to talk from heart to heart. He explained that every player will be given the opportunity to play considering the busy schedule that Barcelona will undergo.

That has been proven. So far this season, every Barcelona player has minutes to play, excluding the two newest players.

Xavi knows exactly what he did at Camp Nou. First, it makes sense to rest players fixed, but he also has to show young people that there is a way into the first team and he has to get more core nonplayers involved and interested. On Wednesday, Gerard Pique and Pablo Torre were given minutes of play.

Xavi rotated his players well. So far, four players have stratered in every game, they are Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Pedri, Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele. While the others took turns in and out of starting XI.

It doesn't stop there. There are also many players who score and provide assists, namely Raphinha, Dembele, Franck Kessie, and Jules Kunde. However, the main points are that all players have brought the intensity and energy demanded by the coach.

It is clear that the players are motivated by the person in charge. And it is proven that the players who played well will continue to appear for Barcelona this season.

If the players are impressive, they should get more opportunities.

This simple system gives the coach and the players credibility to be willing to follow his orders, knowing that they will get the playing time they deserve.

Now, with players fully signing up for what Xavi is doing at the club, his biggest problem is narrowing his squad to just eleven names on certain match days.

Right! Xavi has problems that most coaches have.
