Xavi: "The priority is to have players as important as Gavi insured"

In Barcelona, ​​the decision of a judge to order Gavi's registration to LaLiga has been received with satisfaction, as reported by La Vanguardia. The Barça coach recognized that tying the Andalusian interior as an official member of the first team was “one of the objectives of this market. So phenomenal”, Xavi Hernández congratulated himself.

The coach believes that "the priority is to have players as important as Gavi insured." And it is that, according to the same judge, the footballer could leave the club for free if he was not registered before June 30. Xavi reassured himself about the situation of the young international. “I don't see Gavi changing scenery. He is transcendental here and he is very happy ”.

The same goes for other players whom Barcelona have already renewed and have not yet signed up or have to adjust their contracts. “It is normal for people to be afraid. Inside we are calm. Gavi, Balde and Araújo are people of the house ”, reasoned the man from Egar.

The coach explained that the club has given the go-ahead for the departure of Héctor Bellerín. “Hector has asked us to go out to play more. I get it. Thank him because he has never had a bad face, he is an extraordinary boy, ”he opined.

And the goodbye of the defender combined with Dembélé's injury last Saturday does change Barcelona's plans on the last day of the market. "I think that a reinforcement would go well for us with the withdrawal of Piqué and the departures of Memphis and Bellerín," said the coach. Of course, Xavi is clear about what he is asking for. “I see the squad compensated even with these three casualties. May what comes truly reinforce. That we do not sign because yes. If there is any possibility ahead. If not, we're fine,” he mused.

In fact, Xavi assures that he will be “more aware of the game than of the market because “whoever can come today will not play against Betis”. For Barça, who have already gone through the Bernaneu, the Metropolitan, Anoeta, Mestalla and Pizjuán, Villamarín is one of the most difficult outings they have left. “We can get 8 points behind the second classified and continue this streak. That's what worries me".

Barcelona ended up without forwards in Girona but recovers Lewandowski and Ferran Torres to travel to Seville. Regarding the team's game, Xavi admitted that he is self-critical after winning the last three games 1-0. “We would like to win comfortably but everything costs a lot. Soccer is whimsical. Sometimes making a great game you don't win. The objective is to get closer to the Super Cup match against Madrid. But Liverpool have a hard time, Bayern have a hard time winning, Juventus is as it is, Inter seemed very strong and look… There is no longer the superiority of before”, he gave other greats from other leagues as an example.
