At the gathering held in four sportsthe former Spanish coach and coach of the perico team up to two times Javier Clemente spoke about the arrival of the former culé footballer on the Barça bench and the way of playing that he wants to install in the team: “He’s actually starting to coach now. He’s got a really big open world because he’s been such a big figure, but now he’s acting…”

In addition, Clemente criticized that Xavi wants to impose a way of playing at FC Barcelona that does not match the type of footballers he has and has signed during the winter market. “He wants the players to play like he used to play, and that’s not being a good coach.
