Xavi’s radical exit over his future and Klopp’s departure

Xavi knows that every press conference is complicated right now. So when it comes to the announcement of Jurgen Klopp’s departure, apparently journalists used the topic to directly address Xavi’s future in Catalonia. And the Barca coach was particularly abusive. “We have been talking about my continuity since July. Because we lost the friendly against Arsenal. I am calm. I understand the club, the criticism, everything. I am lucky or unlucky to know that club. I have no problem. Now is not the time. As we arrived at the friendly Clasico, there was urgency. We are confident that we can have a good season. I have two and a half years behind me and I feel that I have less time left than I have spent before. There will come a time when I will quit. »

Xavi satirizes Klopp’s lack of energy

A Xavi who spoke of Klopp’s departure with irony responded to Klopp’s stated lack of energy to justify his departure. “I understand. I ask the nutritionist every morning for energy. I’m doing very well, I’m calm. I understand the situation of the club, the difficult situation. That’s how they explained it to me at the time. It was a historical difficulty and I think that we are doing a good job. A great effort was made and last year we won. In June we will take a good look at the situation and make a decision.” Speeches on the subject often have a variable geometry depending on the passing of time… “I don’t know if the criticism towards me is unfair. We always evaluate people when they start to quit. Now we appreciate the good work of Valverde, Koeman, Busquets, Jordi Alba… it’s something to think about. I hope I miss you too. I am happy and I appreciate what I have, not then. To me this is Barcel’s historical mistake. Luis Enrique or Pep experienced the same thing. I don’t know if that’s unfair, that’s how this club works. »
