Xavi Wasn’t Ready For The Barcelona Job – Guti

Real Madrid legend, Guti has come out to accuse Xavi of taking the Barcelona job at the wrong time. This is coming after the out-of-favour manager announced his resignation, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Xavi was just not prepared to come to Barcelona, and he only took the job thinking everything was going to be very easy after he signs.

Guti added that coaching a club in Qatar and managing Barcelona football club are 2 different things.

His words, “Xavi Hernandez was not prepared to come to Barcelona. He thought that everything was going to be very easy, and no. When you get your license in Qatar and train in a match in which 300 people are there… It’s not the same as sitting on the Barcelona bench. This is how it is. It’s reality.”

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.
