Xavi: "I don't think it's time to return to Barça"

The former Barça captain and current Al Sadd coach talks about his future in an interview with El País

Xavi: "I don't think it's now, no, there is external noise. In January I told them that it was not the time & they have not contacted me. As culé I wish them the best. I respect Setién a lot , he has a game manual very similar to what Barça needs, which is Cruyffismo"

Xavi on Messi

Xavi: "Messi needs Barça and Barça needs Messi"

Xavi: "Messi has earned it; automatic clause. Messi needs Barça, and Barça needs Messi . They have to make him happy, because with Leo Messiglad they will win more titles. I maintain a great friendship with him, I respect him a lot."

Xavi: “I am delighted to continue gaining experience, challenging myself, and of course it would be a privilege for me to train at Barça one day, with a dream team, with Jordi Cruyff , Carles Puyol and some current players."
