Xavi Hernandez want to leave Barça won and that’s why he got a gala eleven at Sánchez Pizjuán. The 1-2 against Seville It was the 71st victory in 102 league games, the same number of Madrid of Carlo Ancelotti since Egarense came to Barça’s bench. And he also left with 85 points in this League, just three less than his team added last season. Barça after a historic coup in Cornellà-El Prat.
After his last game, he spoke DAZN and he held his last press conference with an assessment of his time as coach of the Blaugrana and expressed his disappointment at the dismissal: “I tried to control my emotions and it was difficult to know that we are not continuing as a staff but I think we have Well done in the game. We did the 85 points we wanted. It’s a shame not to fulfill our contract.
release? No, because we want to continue but these are decisions that the club makes and we respect them. The job went well despite not getting the titles and I think we are still on the right track. On the other hand, I am proud of what we have achieved with two titles in two and a half years in a situation of great difficulty for the club. The players were acting amazing and their reactions gave me goosebumps.
He was forced by the reasons he gave Joan Laporta to dismiss him but he repeated what he said at Saturday’s press conference: “The reasons for the decision are not up to me. The president should tell them. It doesn’t matter if you share the arguments or not. He Barça “He’s more than anyone.” And he remembers that he didn’t have it easy: “Honestly, I feel like everything I’ve done has caused an earthquake these two and a half years. Inside or outside? All in all. We don’t have peace of mind but I just have to accept it. This is the law of football. Sad? Yes, I think work in a situation of poverty is undervalued. We came and the team was ninth, we almost fought for the title. The year after we started we did a double and this year we have not won the titles. What if I came out stronger? I do not know. Titles have eluded us this season by four or five games. This is the only thing we didn’t do wrong. I think the whole staff has done a great job and also the players have shown great promise. We helped them become better.”
When asked what advice he would give his successor, he explained the first idea. “Let him know that he has a difficult situation. Barça is a difficult club but the economic situation is also bad. The new coach will suffer. I’m sorry because this club is not easy. The only thing that will save you is the winner. I’ve been staring through the magnifying glass. Expectations are formed by being a member of the world’s best generation. Barça that they played me,” he said Xavi not without making another self-criticism: “We are not perfect nor do we want to be. We made mistakes in a lot of things, especially this season. On a tactical level we have to learn but it has been a great learning experience. This year we have to suffer more than rejoice but this is football. “This is life,” he concluded.
Xavi praised Fermin Lopezwho dedicated his eleventh goal of the season to him: “Fermin This is a separate case because it is not on the map of Barcelona. We saved him from a loan and we saw in training that he believes in it and that he can contribute things. He gained ownership. He has a high level and if you can believe it, there is a player for many years. Does the list of European Cup? for that From the origin but I have no doubt. It’s a wonder, a treasure.” And again he was satisfied to leave a legacy full of the future: “There is a wonderful generation. They have grown so much and the best legacy I carry is everyone’s appreciation. We help players become better football players. We enjoyed and excited the culés this season and I will stay there.”
In fact not being able to say goodbye to the Blaugrana fans Montjuicsaid there was no going back and he kept the goodness: “I leave dearly with tremendous esteem from the fans and it fills me with pride. People have valued the work and over time it will be worth more.”
He also thanked the Terrace that his hospitality at press conferences will be appreciated: “It’s an issue of education and values. My parents (Joaquim and Maria Mercè) taught me to be like this. There is respect and empathy. “You’re doing your job and I’m just trying to respond sensibly.”
Finally, he clapped Quique Sánchez Floreswho on Friday assured that “Barça does not know how to fire its legend” recalling other cases such as Leo Messi and Ronald Koeman. Xavi he hugged her Seville. “I congratulated him for his work and for his words towards me because he didn’t have to say it. I will be happy for everything that happens to him,” recalled the man from Egar in the press room of the Sánchez Pizjuan.
