He has succeeded in combining three potential attackers after bringing Raphinha from Leeds United and Lewandowski on a transfer fee of €45m on July 19, 2022.
Xavi Hermandez will be facing Andoni Iraola’s men in his 2022/2023 La Liga opening game of the season at Spotify Camp Nou on August 13, 2022.
On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano’s head boss, Andoni Iraola has been able to secure the transfer of a quality central-midfielder, Unai Lopez from Athletic club, Salvi Sanchez, Diego Lopez on a free transfer.
Andoni signed Sergio Camello on a loan from Atletico Madrid while Florian Lejeune was loaned from Alaves on July 29, 2022, to complete Rayo Vallecano’s transfer decision.
Xavi Hernandez’s potential lineup with the combination of Dembele, Lewandowski, and Raphinha in the forward wing.
Three outstanding combinations for Barcelona’s head boss, Xavi Hernandez might bring in Jordi Alba, Christensen, Araujo, and Dest to maintain a good defensive wing. Pedri, Busquets, and Gavi would build a good link-up play in the midfield to help the players in the forward direction to utilize their chances towards their opponent’s safety yard-box, followed by three remarkable trios, Dembele, Lewandowski, and Raphinha in the forward wing.
During a dangerous counter-attack, Pedri or Gavi would join the already existing 4-man defense to limit any movement in the left or right flank to make up a 5-man defense.
After the 5-man defense has been established, Gavi and Busquets would remain in the midfield to provide suitable assists for Dembele who is on the left flank, or Raphinha who is positioned on the right flank. Lastly, Dembele and Raphinha would disorganize Rayo Vallecano’s defense and provide a reliable pass to Lewandowski in a dangerous position.
