Barcelona manager, Xavi has come out to insist that nothing has changed since he decided against quitting the club at the end of the season. This is coming new amid reports of him heading for the sack, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is confident in his agreement with the president and sporting director at Barcelona, so he knows nothing will change about the current plans last minute.
Xavi added that he remains calm amid the back and forth because he believes in the project.
His words, “I’m interested in having the confidence of the president and [sporting director] Deco, and they transmit this to me. For me nothing has changed.
We’ll sit down with Laporta, we’re in contact, if we have to talk about something we’ll do it, but we’re like three weeks ago – there’s a project, we’ve competed and nothing changes. I understand the questions but I’m calm.
No, not at all. I have zero doubts that things can go well… I understand that next year we can compete better, I have ambition intact and with this news even more.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.
There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).
From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
