For the fifth year he has been working in Al-Sadda - first as a player, and since 2019 as a coach.. In an interview with Marca, Xavi spoke out on many different topics.

About my coronavirus disease: " I really want to return to the team in the near future "

On whether you had to change your coaching beliefs: " I have clear ideas and a game system. My philosophy is ball possession, highest pressing, aggressive attack. This is the football that I have lived my whole life. I only see football like this "

About Barcelona: " This is my home.

Leading Barca is my dream, but now I am focused on my work in Qatar. "
