Xavi Hernandez Barcelona icon talked about his plans to return to the Catalan club as a coach, after he was a candidate to lead the team last January.
Xavi refused to leave the Qatari Dam last January and accepted the offer of Barcelona training to succeed Ernesto Valverde, to go to the Josep Bartomeo administration to appoint Kiki Citin.
Xavi told La Vanguardia newspaper: “I say it clearly. I want to return to Barcelona and I am very excited about this.”
“I think I can offer some things to the players, but I made it clear to them in Barcelona that I saw myself in a project starting from scratch where I am the decision-maker.”
“I have no problem, I am not hiding and I would like to work with people I trust and who are loyal and very good,” he said. “There can be no corrupt person around the players’ room.”
He indicated his desire to seek the help of some of his old colleagues, such as Carlis Puyol, and said: “I do not want to take the decision alone, here in the dam, we make decisions with everyone even though I have the last word in this matter.”
On the players, Xavi said: “I see Barcelona’s current list includes unusual players, starting with Ter Stegen who I see as the best in the world and Jordi Alba the best left back in the world with Gerard Pique the best defender in the world.”
Then Sergio Busquets added the best midfielder in the world and Lionel Messi, the best in the world.
“And if I add Frenky de Jong and Arthur Millo, they are two players who can succeed in Barcelona for the next 10 years, the team is very good,” he explained.
On the deals, he said: “I will sign players on the wing like Neymar, I don’t know if it will be appropriate for Barcelona at the non-sports level, but at the level of play I have no doubt that it will be a great deal.”
“Barcelona have their own style in the middle of the field, but the team does not have wings like Bayern Munich,” he said.
Chafee moved on to criticize him for working in Qatar.
On this, he said: “There are biases regarding Arab culture, I do not defend dictatorship. No, I have never been subject to much criticism on the subject of human rights, but they criticize themselves.”
“They are increasingly realizing that there are some things to stop, but it takes time,” he added.
“There are untenable issues like freedom of the press or respect for homosexuality, but they have many very positive things,” he said.
