Messi Says Barcelona’s Future Is Bright with Xavi

DBasia.news – Lionel Messi did not want to miss commenting on the appointment of Xavi Hernandez as the new coach of Barcelona. He believes the future of the Blaugrana will be bright with his former teammate.

Xavi was appointed as the new coach of Barcelona after the sacking of Ronald Koeman. He has a tough task to return El Barca to the right track.

Xavi made his debut smoothly. He brought Barcelona to victory in the derby against Espanyol.

Messi did not in the slightest doubt Xavi’s ability as a coach. He had seen this talent while still playing together.

“Xavi is a coach who knows a lot, who knows the house perfectly. He knows everything well since he was a kid,” Messi told Marca.

“He is a very important person for the young players. He is the one who will make Barcelona grow a lot, I have no doubts.”

Interestingly, Messi did not rule out returning to Barcelona. This opened up opportunities for him to play under Xavi.

But that is almost impossible to happen in the near future. Messi is still under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2023.

“I always said that I would return to Barcelona because I wanted to help the club as much as I could. Obviously if I can help the club in what I mean I would love to be back.”
