The ex player explained that it is loved with his new career like trainer, and that his team is adapting satisfactorily to the style that practised in the Camp Nou and that also dominates to the selection of the country, directed by another ex Barcelona like Félix Sánchez Bas. The questions on the group barcelonista seemed unavoidable, and the Catalan undid in praises when it was questioned by the last jewel of the Masia.

"Ansu Fati Is brutal. The people spoke of him does time, but that with 16 years mark this difference is alucinante. I lived it with 18 debuting in the Barça, but he with two less already is marking goals and giving assistances. Besides, his taking of decisions always is correct. If do not twist , we are in front of a footballer that can mark a period", dared to vaticinar.

The player wanted to come and if it has not been able to be is by an economic subject. It is a penalty because Neymar is a player of world-wide size that knew the house and the changing room had seen him with good eyes. Like this it is the football sometimes".

Xavi thinks that the Champions does not depend only of Messi

The one of Terrassa also valued the drought of the Barça in Champions, to which considers a challenge but no an obsession. "I do not create. Then it would be the obsession of a lot of teams, like the Manchester City, the Juventus... It has to be a challenge, no an obsession", recalcó, indicating that the planning has followed a way ilusionante to consolidate a competitive staff and swung.

"The Barça is one of the favourites, clear that yes. It has fichado very well and keeps footballers that mark differences. No only Messi. I to the Barça see it very well", analysed, doing reference to incorporations like Frenkie of Jong -that has him enamoured- or Antoine Griezmann, that have to assume responsibilities and support to the of Rosario, that is the best player of the planet.
