Xavi had a few words to say to the media this Saturday after the defeat against Villarreal (3-5). Present at a press conference after the shock announcement of his departure from Barça at the end of the season, the Catalan technician was prickly in front of the journalists on site. According to him, the press only drags the club down.
“At least you won’t kill me again, as you already know I’m leaving in a few months. Everything will be calmer. Being Barça coach is so difficult. You see how they kill you, they criticize you, it affects you. At some point you start to wonder: is it worth it?asked the 44-year-old coach. I made the decision to leave some time ago. You asked me if I wanted to be Barça’s Alex Ferguson. The truth is there will never be a Ferguson here. It’s impossible. You will not allow it. It’s the truth. This happened to all Barcelona managers after a while. You end up leaving because it’s not worth continuing. There will never be a Ferguson at the club. You won’t allow someone to stay that long.”
