On the transfer window deadline day, Barcelona managed to secure two of the best loan signings… possibly ever. And with João Félix and João Cancelo, Barca find themselves with, unthinkably, one of the best squads in Europe.
Today we take a look at why the Joáos solve so many of Xavi’s tactical problems, make Barca a force to be reckoned with, but also introduce a different kind of headache…

Great video. Vamos Xavineta!
It’s almost as if Xavi knew the issues himself and went forward with the system, because he knew Felix and Cancelo were likely going to come 🤷🏻♂️
7:47 love it when you hide dembele face xD
João Félix was the best player for Chelsea last season. At Athletico he was blamed for negative tactics by the coach. João Félix is much better than Pedri for Gavi will ever be.
I have been waiting for Football purist takes on recent Barca development
It is worth it
Please can you do more of the prem?
I get it…. you're a barca fan
Pedri won’t be an issue because it lessens his burden of responsibility on the team. Now that we can operate without araujo or pedri, they can really work on their injuries and return and ADD to the team. Rotation will be key, especially with them returning from injury. We have to protect them
Censored for un-seriousness LoL
Still early don't rush until they face the top 5 teams in Europe
dembele blurred out at 7:48 is hilarious
The only problem with this formation is the team doesn’t know when to contract and when to spread…the tabelas and one two passes are weak
😍😍😍😍😍
few weeks ago, we were not creative enough, very static, had players playing way off their maximum abilities because they were playing in roles that didn't suit them and were overall very underwhelming and predictable
now the best midfielder in the world is coming back soon and our main problem is figuring out who to drop for him…
thank you, joaos
Finally understand what changes in formation
Tq
Can u please do videos for madrid games too please ? u explain really well which makes it easier to get the coach
i mean they can just rotate pedri With gundo cause they're both quite prone to injuries
Finally barça videos
Oh trust me there's a private contract for both of them. We got them for more than a year.
I love that you censoring dembele's face 😂
These are the best Barca analysis videos I’ve found. Thanks for the tactics lessons!
Never thought we would be in a situation to willingly bench Pedri. When teams don’t press i think pedri should play instead of de jong as he’s better at playing higher of the pitch and you wouldn’t need to break lines anyways in this case. But in big games, Frankie is untouchable, pedri on the bench or playing instead of felix
Getting eliminated in the Quarterfinals in the UCL by a team like ManCity is very acceptable for this year, the team is still young and has lots of new faces, yes we have been saying this for almost 3 years but the team has been getting a major overhaul in every transfer window since Xavi and Laporta took over, this years squad is the closest we have to the perfect unit that Xavi requires, a good run in the UCL with good performances and a La Liga title is a very successful season for the club, exciting days ahead ❤ 💙
