Gerrard: ‘Barcelona’s brilliant choice for Xavi’
Praise for Barcelona for picking Xavi on the bench went to Steven Gerrard who claimed he was the most suitable coach for the position.
For Barcelona, Xavi’s plan seems to be paying off little by little, the Catalan coach had led the ‘Blaugrana’ to 3rd and -3rd from second Sevilla, even with a game in hand.
Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard, who played for Liverpool in the Champions League friendly against Barcelona, claimed Xavi’s selection from the Catalan club’s management was the best possible.
“I think Xavi’s choice was brilliant for Barcelona. He’s someone who has the team in his DNA and has been a world-class player for many years. Knows the style that all people have want to see in Barcelona. “And after a difficult few years, they seem to be getting back to where they belong.” emphasized the English coach, who was 4-0 against Real in the Clasico at the time:
“As a Barcelona fan from afar, I’m happy to see that they’re doing very well.”
