Xavi announces his departure
The shock announcement came last night after the new slap received by Barça against Villarreal. A return of the yellow submarine which was almost eclipsed by the announcement of Xavi who announced his departure on June 30. Xavi leaves, soberly writes the diary Sport in today’s edition. It took over an hour for Xavi to appear in the press room. The reason is simple, it was after a meeting with his players and his president Joan Laporta that he announced the news to the media. THE Mundo Deportivo also relays this bombshell while the tactician was under contract until 2025. But the Culés legend felt that he was simply no longer the man for the job, that he no longer felt in his place. News that divides at a time when some were calling for the head of the coach. It did not take much time to see Barça think about his successor, as relayed by the newspaper A.S. in its interior pages. We find two former members of the house: Thiago Motta, coach of Bologna, as well as Rafa Marquez, the coach of the B team, who has already applied. Gio van Bronckhorst, also a former player, is cited. He is currently free since leaving the Rangers. Finally, Michel de Girona is presented as a 100% compatible coach at Barça. And the Jurgen Klopp track is a fantasy, even if Laporta is seduced by the German.

The big clash between Olympique de Marseille and AS Monaco resulted in a spectacular 2-2 draw. The spectators got their money’s worth, on the other hand for OM it’s very annoying as the placard says. Provence this Sunday morning. Gattuso’s men were in superiority for more than 80 minutes, but failed to dominate a plucky Monaco. For the Team, OM messed up badly. As a result, ASM is still 5 points ahead and it is a missed opportunity for the Marseille team to get closer. The rock club is satisfied with this point of honor, as written Monaco-Morning. On the Olympian side, the symbol of this waste has a name, it is called Vitinha. There were several quite notable misses, including this occasion where he inexplicably found himself practically on the goal line when he only had to push the leather to the bottom, and which made the rounds on social networks. The Portuguese is highly criticized by the press. It even becomes embarrassing, we can read in theTeam especially when we remember that Vitinha is OM’s most expensive recruit. A status which should not help him to stay in the Marseille city, underlines Provence.
