The head coach revealed that he maintains daily communication with the president and sporting director, Deco, highlighting their belief in the team’s efforts and the comprehensive trust placed in him.

“I am the leader of this team, and I believe in my players. I don’t feel alone,” Xavi asserted. “I have blind faith in my players and my staff. I have the confidence of Deco, the president, my staff, and the players.”

Xavi reinforced the team’s collective belief in their shared vision, stating, “The players believe in what we are doing. It will come together. And, if it doesn’t, we will have tried. Last year, things weren’t coming off either, but they did in the end. I firmly believe things will come together.”
