Barcelona manager, Xavi has come out to insist that he has no issue with Spain manager, Luis de la Fuente. This is coming after his star midfielder, Gavi picked up a long-term knee injury, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he has a very good relationship with De la Fuente, and he does not think the youngster picked up the injury as a result of any coach’s management.
Xavi added that Gavi’s loss will definitely be felt by Barcelona because he is simply irreplaceable.
His words, “I have a very good relationship with De la Fuente. He called me on Tuesday and we were talking. I don’t think it’s a problem of a coach’s management, but rather the calendar. With Gavi’s age, he has a lot of minutes. Sometimes it’s a matter of misfortune. I think it’s to do with the calendar, of minutes.”
“Gavi’s loss is a disgrace for us. He is irreplaceable. The heart, the desire and the courage he puts in… we have to try to replace him but it is difficult. Tomorrow we would need Gavi, for example. Because of the game that it is, the rival that it is. Vallecas [Rayo Vallecano’s stadium] is always very complicated. In recent times we have not been able to beat this team. We have been able to train quite well with those who have stayed.”
