The second captain of the FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernández, has desvelado in an interview that "in 2008 was about to fichar by the Bayern", but Guardiola gathered with him when it arrived like trainer to the first team and convinced him that it remained
In an interview conceded to 'MD', Xavi Hernández has recognised that "in 2008 was about to fichar by the Bayern of Munich", shortly after winning the Eurocopa with the Spanish selection. "They were quite seriously. Even there was a meeting with a technician of the Bayern and Branchini (agent FIFA)", has signalled the one of Terrassa. The Bavarian leaders wished to know the predisposition of the Barcelona midfield player to fichar by the group germano, but the arrival of Pep Guardiola like trainer of the Barça desbarató all possibility that Xavi abandoned the team.
"There was not time for nothing. Pep took me and said me that it could not me go, that the Barça that had in mind turned around some determinate players, around me, that could not leave the club", ensures. Since, the second captain of the FC Barcelona no arrepiente of his decision, but all the contrary. It was another good decision because my wish is to withdraw me in the Barça. And the one who went it to us to say to the two. Now it is Pep the one who is in the Bayern, the one of turns that gives the football. It is incredible".
Xavi affirms that from that moment has not gone back to receive more serious offers, and reaffirms in his position to withdraw in the Barça just when, in front of the Getafe, could contest his party 700 with the Barcelona T-shirt. "Anybody has proposed me at all more. Of New York do not know at all more than is doing a lot cold. My intention is to withdraw me in the Barça, although I know that it is something that can be unlikely" by the high degree of competitiveness.
