Coach analyzes Barcelona situation ahead of Valladolid game

Xavi Hernandez has assessed Barcelona’s position ahead of the LaLiga Santander Round 36 game against Valladolid at Pucela.
The Terrassa manager said he would be doing rotations but he was adamant that he was going for the win.
He also spoke about racism in football and the arrival of Lionel Messi, among others.
Speaking of the upcoming game against Valladolid, it means a lot more for the home side who are fighting against relegation.

“What happens in these games is that those who need it the most get the result,” Xavi told reporters. “Like Espanyol against Rayo or us against Real Sociedad. But we will win, we will field the best possible team to get the three points.”
“No doubt. We want to finish with a good feeling. La Real are a Champions League team.

Crowd abuse against Vinicius Jr. 

One of the hottest topics in Spanish football right now is crowd talks, as Vinicius Jr. was once again taunted from the stands on Sunday night, this time in Valencia.
“In general, unfortunately, there are cases of disliked comments,” continued Xavi.

“Unfortunately. It’s a shame. It’s sad and regrettable that this is happening in 2023. To be condemned: there are no shields, players or clubs.
“it must be condemned, as happened yesterday with Vinicius in Valencia.
“Valencia is already doing it. Disliked comments must be eradicated once and for all.”

Xavi went on to say that games should be stopped if there is such abuse.
“We have to stop the games,” said Xavi. “I always thought so. Insults are accepted, it’s the only sport where it’s accepted.”
“If there’s an insult, don’t play. It’s a message to the president of LaLiga, the federation… I don’t have to be insulted.” “He insults a worker, he throws a brick at your head. I don’t have to put up with all kinds of insults and rudeness during my working hours. It must be said that enough is enough. »
“It’s a question of education. We have to teach people that you don’t go to the stadium to insult people.” I don’t go to the theater to insult. It’s not good for society. »

Lionel Messi’s return

Another more Barcelona-specific topic that has been discussed is Lionel Messi’s potential return to the club this summer.

“It’s in the air,” Xavi said. “It depends on a lot of things, I can’t say much more.” “He’s a spectacular footballer, I’m a friend of him. Let’s see if it can happen. It also depends on his intentions.”
