Xavi Hernández

[DonAndres]

He criticized the fans today, but in a much more sober way than Alves.

“The fans are very result driven. We lost the Copa del Rey and the Champions League and the fans began to doubt us. We continue to work knowing what the fans expect from us.”

Can't say that he's wrong.

He is right. Most are result driven. Results matter, but the extent some of the criticism had was unfair to the players.

Sweet game, but I wish he screamed back at Tata instead of calmly taking the abuse.

We do not know the context but Tata should not be screaming. Also, Xavi did the right thing. You do not scream back at your manager.

Well, what should we be expecting? Results it is. This is still one of the best teams out there and for them not to show any significant achievement is enough reason for us the fans to complain. Complaining does not mean throwing the team under the bus.

 

[DonAndres]

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but he actually indulged a journalists question about Valverde becoming Barca manager.

“They play in this style, a manager who has a good attacking system. It’s not my place to talk about future events.”

Still conservative enough not to say anything that could cause a problem, but he did make a comment on it. Interesting as that suggests that the manager for next season really is up for grabs and that there will be "future events".

Abuse? As far as I'm concerned this was the content of the conversation:

"You see this turtle on the pitch? Why the hell did I sub you off for him?! *jumps up and down furiously*

*Xavi nods in agreement*

 

[linetty]

"Why dafuq did you sub me off??"
"We need to score the fucking goal and not keep more possession!!"

 

[footyfan]

Here it is, Tata looks pretty mad.

So you mean exactly like their other "discussions"?

 

[Flavia]

Not good
So it seems Xavi really messed up with things...

 

[DonAK]

I wonder what that was about.

 

[hulinat]

I can read from lips

 

[Stric]

When I saw that, to me it looked more like a discussion between the two of them about a third someone.

 

[hulinat]

What's the name of the bald headed guy in the background?

 

[voodoomaster]

Xavis passes nearly Fucked up

"Why do you pass it to Alves? You know he's going to just cross it to no one in the middle. It's a waste. Just move the ball back to the left."



Yeah, can't really know what was said. It was some kind of tactical discussion.
