The star in touching tribute to træners dead daughter

None of the bystanders were in doubt whether the message, as Luis Suarez after his scoring for Barcelona against Valencia, the first stretched out two fingers toward the sky, which he gathered hands and formed the two fingers like an ’x’.

the ’X’ for Xana.

Xana is – or rather was – identical with Xana Enrique. She died for a couple of weeks ago, only nine years of age, of bone cancer.

She was the daughter of the former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, which in three years was Luis Suarez’ boss, and she was a friend to Suarez's daughter, Delfina, as she went in the same school with. The two families had supposedly a good and close relationship.

the Whole of Barcelona-the team remembered her before the fight, and when Enrique on Twitter told of his loss, attended the whole of football in his grief and his loss.


The former Spanish national coach surprised in June by suddenly leaving the trænersædet in the Spanish football federation of the 'personal reasons'.

the Explanation was of course that the 49-year-old spaniard wanted to spend time with his daughter, who was seriously ill, and part of the so-called knoglesarkomer.

'Our daughter, Xana, died in the afternoon, at nine years old, after having fought against sarkomerne in five hard months,' wrote the unfortunate father.

'We would like to thank all of you for the loving sentiment, we have received in the course of these months, and we appreciate your understanding and discretion,' he continued and ended with a personal greeting to her daughter:

’We will miss you very much, but we will remember you each and every day for the rest of our lives in the hope we will meet again in the future. You become the star, who leads our family. Rest in peace, Xanita.
