Famed, Fine or Fraud? Does Xavi have enough Barca DNA? The story of Xavi as Al Sadd manager, complete with highs and lows.
Al Sadd? Is that even a real club?
Many funny users here will say “Al Sadd?, why are they sad?”, but despite the hilarious original joke usually uttered on our beloved r/soccer, there’s a degree of underlying truth manifesting itself in the state of Xavi’s Al Sadd.

Al Sadd are objectively the greatest Qatari club of all time, winning a record 14 out of 55 Qatari Stars League titles, a record 15 Emir Cups (Qatari FA cup), a record 15 Super Cups and are the only Qatari side to ever win the AFC Champions League, winning it twice in 1989 and 2011. Qatar’s victorious starting XI in the 2019 Asian Cup final contained 7 Al Sadd players, including 5/6 out of Qatar’s amazing defence that only conceded once in the whole tournament.

What happened at Al Sadd last season was extraordinary on all levels. The Jesualdo Ferreira-led side completely obliterated all possible scoring records, with the striker partnership of AFCON winner Baghdad Bounedjah and Best Player in Asia Akram Afif scoring a combined 65 goals in 22 matches. Xavi himself was a cornerstone of that side, usually playing in a midfield two together with Atlético legend Gabi and providing a good amount of service to the batshit crazy strikers. Al Sadd won 18/22 matches, including some absolute demolitions such as the 10-1 vs Al Arabi, 8-1 vs Al Gharafa away and a 6-0 vs Al Khraitiyat.

Xavi as manager of Al Sadd (Playstyle, Positives and Negatives)
Xavi was appointed Al Sadd manager while still playing and he officially took the job on the 1st of July 2019. His first task was a difficult one, as his first matches were AFC CL round of 16 matches against Al Sadd’s biggest local Qatari rivals of the modern era, Al Duhail.

A successful start

It was reported Xavi experimented a lot in friendlies with both 3-CB defences and 4-man defences, until he settled on the on something resembling a 4-2-3-1 with star man Bounedjah leading the line. He defeated Rui Faria’s Al Duhail 4-2 on aggregate, with the team playing genuinely good football. Al Sadd shifted from a back 4 to a back 5 in the second half of the second leg to preserve the lead and looked quite comfortable doing so. The was some new spacing issues evident in both matches, as Al Sadd couldn’t really play the ball out of defence and were forced to rely on long balls in many situations.

Xavi’s highs and lows as Al Sadd manager were quickly defined in a period of 2 months, starting in the middle of September with Xavi’s best match, beating Saudi Champions Al Nasr 3-1 and with that win getting through to the semi-final of the AFC CL. Al Sadd lined up in Xavi’s 4-2-3-1 and were completely dominant in nearly all phases of the match. Al Sadd strangled Al Nasr in their half and attacked relentlessly in wave after wave of wonderful attacking football. What ultimately decided the match was a banger shot from Qatar NT captain Hassan Al Haydos.

The Meltdown

Xavi’s worst 45 days then followed his incredible start. The first sign of downfall was in the 1-4 loss against continental rivals and eventual CL winner Al Hilal at home. Al Sadd started fairly well scoring an early goal thanks to Gomis scoring in his own goal, before conceding in the 35th minute when Gomis redeemed himself after the earlier mistake. The turning point came when the great left-back Abdulkarim Hassan was sent off in the first half. The logical thing for Xavi at this point would be to adjust defensively and try to keep the result at 1-1. He did the opposite and didn’t adjust defensively at all, essentially turning the teams shape to a 3-2-3-1 with no full backs and wingers not tracking back much at all. What followed was a disaster, Al Sadd conceded 3 more goals, only a divine intervention strengthening goalkeeper Al Sheeb stopped Al Hilal from scoring more. He did eventually change shape to something resembling a 4-4-1, but only after being 4-1 down at home. To his credit Al Sadd did win 2-4 away in nearly a historical PSG-esque choke by Al Hilal, but that was a clear outlier and xG of that match must’ve been something like 10-3 to Al Hilal with how many chances Gomis and Giovinco missed.

The disaster against Al Hilal was followed by another huge disaster, losing 4-1 to local rivals Al Duhail. Al Sadd scored first again, but this time their undoing came in the form of horrible set-piece defending, lack of chance creation and a general aura of frustration around the team. The calm, respectful and lethal Al Sadd team had started it’s dissolution and turned into a whiny, ineffective and frustrated team. Another huge blow came a week later when Al Sadd lost 3-0 at home against relegation-tier Qatar SC. Defensive mistake after defensive mistake was the theme of the season, with this scene moments before Qatar’s second goal offering a little glimpse into Xavi’s defensive organization. Al Sadd now find themselves in 3rd place, 9 points away from Al Duhail, losing 4 matches already after losing only 1 in all of last season. The Bounedjah-Afif duo have regressed together with the rest of the team since Xavi’s takeover, scoring 18 in 11 in a rate of 1,65 per game, after last season’s 2,95. Al Sadd were also embarrassed at the Club World Cup at home, conceding 10 in 3 matches against Hienghène Sport, Monterrey and Espérance de Tunis. The embarrassment on the world stage wasn’t surprising for me, it’s just a continuation of the domestic performances.

Summary
Xavi isn’t a good manager at this point. He inherited a team of exceptional players in all positions and has turned Al Sadd’s golden generation into a joke. His defensive organization is genuinely horrible, Al Sadd concede a whole lot more chances this season since he took over. It’s not a coincidence that the more Xavi put his touch on Jesualdo’s team, the worse Al Sadd became. His attacking tactics subdued the best attacking duo in Qatar’s history and turned them into half of the players that they were last season. Xavi also lacks pragmatism and his in-game management has been very questionable. This might sound like a shallow argument, but if Xavi can’t dominate Qatari football, how is he going to dominate Spanish and European football? If we define Barca DNA in simple terms, then we have concepts like 4-3-3/3-4-3, strong wing-play, a combo of Catalan and Dutch influence, mainly defends by high pressing, and possession-based football. Al Sadd only accomplishes the last criteria. In a way, Xavi’s Al Sadd is a form of sacrifice descending into becoming the ultimate reflection of a possession-crazed Xavi.

TL;DR: Current Xavi is a fraud
