This is the analysis of Xavi Hernández on the signings: Arthur, Of Jong, Rabiot...

Xavi Hernández was during a lot of years a key player in the centre of the field of the FC Barcelona. The mediocentro of Terrassa is culé from birth and, in spite of that now it plays in the To the-Sadd of Qatar, does not lose the opportunity to speak of the Barcelona team when it gives the occasion. The signings are something of what accustoms to speak each summer. In an interview to Sportive World, spoke on some of them.

The Catalan elogió openly to Arthur Melo, recent signing culé: "I Have seen a few videos of him, and although I have not been able to see a complete party, there are a lot of Brazilians here in the academy Aspire that they have spoken me very well, think that is a footballer that is perfectly adaptable to the Barça, has what we call DNA Barça, has this technical quality, this necessary talent. Afterwards already it depends on he, of his mentality and of if it is prepared to play in a big team, but by conditions do not have any doubt that could be a big player for the Barça. It gathers all the conditions to be it, afterwards depends on a lot of things, of the first parties, of the confidence, of his surroundings… but the conditions futbolísticas has them".

"Arthur has DNA Barça"

Nevertheless, it showed contrary to that they compare him with Andrés Iniesta or with him same: "This does not like me. To me it did not like me that they compared me with Guardiola neither with anybody, this is not easy to assume neither to digest, is a losa that have on and this is not good. He has to do his career, show his personality, has to show that it is a different player and if we leave him calm will triumph, but is very difficult in the Barça, very difficult".

Also elogió to Adrien Rabiot, footballer of the PSG pretended by the Barça: "it Is a player of an excellent technical level, could play perfectly like interior in the Barça. I think that it is a player contrasted, but already has experience, has played important parties and could contribute a lot of things, but this already is to go in in the terrain of the speculation. Arthur himself is a reality, already is in the Barça, is easier to speak of realities that of hypothesis, this summer asked me a lot by Griezmann and at the end has remained in the Athletic. But if it arrives Rabiot, would be a big signing".

"If it arrives Rabiot, would be a big signing"

Finally, it commented the possible signing of Frenkie of Jong: "I have seen It less, it is a pivote type Busquets, that also can play of interior. But the school of the Ajax is a bit of the style of the school of the Barça, all come of the Dutch school, of Cruyff. It is young but could contribute a lot of things, already sees him a talent very beast, would be a footballer to take into account, very good player".

The profile of player that needs the Barça

Xavi saw ideal the combination of technical quality with work for the team: "This profile is the one who needs the Barça, players like Arthur, Rabiot, Of Jong… a type of footballer very very endowed technically, also work for the team, but overcoat with talent, because at the end the Barça is talent. The Barça plays in 30-40 metres, when they close the rivals, and needs talent to manoeuvre. That is the big difference between the player that can triumph in the Barça and the one who no because it is not very endowed technically".
