Eric Abidal is facing a series of problems with Barcelona. After Messi’s response to his statements a few days ago, it seems that the sports manager of Barca will face another crisis, as the Spanish radio station “El Larguero” said that Xavi is very angry at the statements of his former colleague Blaugrana.
Xavi had denied a few days ago that it was rumored to negotiate with Xavi to take over as coach of Barca, succeeding Valverde. He said, “There was no offer of Xavi, if Xavi had that, let him show him because I saw nothing.”
“When we met for the first time, Xavi was listening and the second time he told us about his future plans,” he added. “What came out to the media was more political than sports and I do not speak politics but only football. I am interested in talking about the way the coach works and what came out to the media was different from what we said.”.
Abidal evaluated Xavi’s training level by saying, “He does not have much experience, he is the son of the club and this may be his time and maybe not. The club relied on Citin and granted him a two-year contract and we trust him a lot. The door is always open to Xavi and I do not know if I will continue here always but the door will be open to him anyway. ”
One of Al Sadd club officials had revealed the existence of negotiations between the Blaugrana and the coach of “Ayal Al Theeb” a few days before Valverde was sacked, but Abidal nevertheless maintains his position and refuses to acknowledge the existence of an offer by the club.
