We have to regain order, to see what the problem is and provide solutions," he noted. Injuries have plagued Barcelona this season, and Xavi hopes those fortunes will change. "We want to be aggressive, intense, put pressure in the opponent's half.
We can no longer think about the players we don't have." "Messi sent me a message wishing me luck. "Yes, I want to coach Messi, Eto'o Ronaldinho," he said. Xavi mentioned that he would like to have coached some of the superstars of old but that his intention now is to assist the new generation. I have no doubts that he can make a difference at Barcelona and be a world star. "For me, Dembele can be the best in the world in his position by working. Do all kinds of things so that the player is well. You have to train well, prevent in the gym. "There will always be injuries," noted Xavi. Ousmane Dembele has yet to live up to expectations at Barcelona, but Xavi believes that the Frenchman has what it takes to succeed at the Blaugrana. I see that the board looks after the club." I know that Joan is a direct guy who speaks clearly. "In Qatar we have lived very well and we have two young kids. I think he is the best president this club has ever had. "Now, I have a very good relationship with Joan. Then, with elections in between, it did not seem like the right moment. "The first two times that Barcelona approached us, we did not feel it, both at a family and football level," stressed Xavi. Xavi also explained why he turned down Barcelona's offers to take charge of the team in the past and broke down the reasons behind his decision to join the club now. " are respectable, but we want to play happy, attacking, without speculating, with high pressure, with possession. "We believe that the best way to win is by playing well. If we convey to them that this way you can play well and win, I think we will succeed. "If you can compete in our own way, we will be very close to achieving the results. The method, the idea and the game model are explained. I have everything planned until the Espanyol game. We have a plan so that the footballer can perform. "We will tell those who are there what the idea is, what the rules are. You have to work tactically, know what to do on the field in different situations. My first defender is the striker and the first attacker is the goalkeeper. "At Al Sadd we played 3-4-3 because we were very dominant. "More than the system, it is the model, the idea," noted Xavi.
The former Al Sadd coach also discussed the football philosophy his coaching staff are hoping to impose on the team upon their arrival. "I want them to lead the dressing room and they are very important because they have experienced many situations. The ones I know, are precisely the ones whom I will push the most. "The plan is the same as for all the players. We will give them power in the dressing room. They have to lead the way in important moments. "I have a direct relationship with them and I have already spoken with some. "I have a very good relationship with ," added Xavi. Xavi went on to stress that he maintains a good relationship with Barcelona veterans and claimed that he expects them to lead the way. You have to help them perform in each game. it is difficult to understand how they put in this performance at this age. We want to see them all and perform in training. "I come here to help the to perform, to be happy," said Xavi at his press conference. In a press conference that lasted over an hour, Xavi discussed his footballing philosophy and the values he wants to instil in this Barcelona side, as well as his aim to assist with the development of young players. Ronald Koeman's poor start to the campaign left Joan Laporta with no other option and, after some tough negotiations with Al Sadd, Xavi was finally brought in. Xavi's presentation as the new head coach of Barcelona took place at Camp Nou on Monday, with the Blaugrana hoping that the legendary former midfielder will be able to reverse their fortunes.
