Among the works at the Spotify Camp Nou, wearing a blue protective helmet with the Barça shield and still wearing the reflective orange vest, the president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, sent a message of tranquility and support for the first team coach , . “I want to make it clear, as Deco has already done, that we are completely at the side of our coach,” highlighted the president, ensuring that the sports management has the same opinion.
Xavi, who won the League and the Super Cup last season, maintains the trust of the club's leadership intact. In fact, in September, the one from Terrassa renewed until 2025, with the option of one more season.
“It is an honor to have Xavi as a coach for his professional and human quality. Here we are a pineapple, we close ranks. At this moment it is very important to be together,” the president stressed in the club's media.
Taking advantage of the visit to the construction of the new stadium, accompanied by Limak managers, Laporta understood that it was time to convey calm, support and understanding with the work of the coaching staff. In the box they consider that the national team break will help Barcelona recover its best level, as Frenkie de Jong recovers, while Lewandowski, Pedri and Koundé gain rhythm after their injuries. “Now we have a period in which the injured can recover and then Xavi will have all the troops available,” he predicted.
Monday will mark two years since Xavi's debut on the Blaugrana bench. So the team was in trouble, far from the fight for the title. Now, the team is third in the League – four points behind Girona, the leader – and depends on itself to reach the round of 16 of the Champions League. “I see the season well. We are in the ointment, that is very important. We are well placed in the Champions League and the League. “We are in the process,” he insisted.
Laporta believes that Xavi should be allowed to work and that the grades are set at the end of the season. “The important thing, remember, is how it ends,” he concluded. Just in the week that the coach lamented the excessive criticism from the environment and the press, the president came out publicly to demonstrate that the club is moving in the same direction.
