Calendar of FC Barcelona

In addition to being news with the To the-Sadd, Xavi Hernández does not forget of the FC Barcelona. The midfield player is happening some days in his house and has conceded an interview to the program 'Tot Coast' of 'Catalonia Ràdio', and has valued several subjects of the Barcelona actuality. Between the stood out, as no, the Classical .

"The Madrid will go more tensionado. Perhaps we see them more aggressive, more to the attack. The team has to go out to win. But eye, for the Barça also is important. They can delete to the eternal rival of the fight by the title", has commented, before referring to the airs of revancha that can have in Santiago Bernabéu.

"The revancha always exists. It hurt to see to the so strong Madrid in August. But the Barça has redone very well. It has been incredible how have given the turn to the tortilla. It does not do fault the defeat of the Supercopa to motivate. It is a Classical, all are slopes", has explained.

"If the Barça wins the Classical can leave to the Madrid out of the fight by LaLiga"

And act followed, has referred to the growth of the Barcelona group: "Valverde has given packaging to the team, the signings are surrendering and everything is more or less positive. I see to the Barça solid and with a lot of options to win, that insist, would be practically leave was to the Madrid in the fight by the title. The Madrid is not so well, but arrive with confidence after winning the Mundialito".

With regard to the criticised style of Ernesto Valverde, has revealed that it is not so move# away of the classical football of touch that estila in the Camp Nou. "Valverde Proposes football of attack, the pressure is good and the intention is to have always the ball. The centre of the field is a more physical profile and of arrival. Paulinho Is doing goals and Rakitic is very versatile, but both can have the ball. No only it goes through the players of talent the fact to have the ball. The idea will be to have the possession independently of the players that there is on the lawn".

The 'DNA Barça'

Following with his reflection on the DNA culé, Xavi has signalled another of the key points, the Masia: "The thing has reequilibrado with Valverde. It has gone back to the essence. Years backwards, perhaps ficharon players no of the profile Barça. I think that now it attends a bit more to The Masia. With Valverde, that goes to the Miniestadi, the Barça has revitalizado. We go by good way".

"There are a lot of players that would fit in the style Barça. The interiors of the City, the ones of the Bayern, the ones of the PSG... All they would fit here. As in his dia Cesc, Cazorla... This see it", has aimed, before referring to Arthur: "I Have seen a video. I have not seen it 90 minutes. It sees him to a big level. Has capacity to recover and to deliver. It could play of pivote and of interior. But I insist in that I have seen little".

"Messi is impossible to detain. It is the best of the history, is more than clear"

Also it has spoken on two pillars in the history of the FC Barcelona, Leo Messi and Andrés Iniesta: "Leo is impossible to detain. We have tried whenever it receive with the space and the necessary time so that it can express. We generated him superiorities so that it marked the difference. It is the best of the history, is more than clear". "I do not see to Andrés changing of airs. I went me with 35. I think that has rope to follow. But it is something that has to see he. It has to decide he", has concretised.

Guardiola And the Champions

To finish, Xavi has been questioned by the adventure of Pep Guardiola in the Manchester City, and does not have doubts: "it Is the team that is more in shape of Europe at stake and results. Pep has given with the key. It is methodical and demanding and the players find well. The players are leading in the game and finish winning parties. Any player of the City will say you that it happens it to him pipe playing. That is the key of the DNA Barça".

"Pep is only, brilliant. It is perfectionist. It transmits a lot. It is normal that compare him with the following trainers that has had the Barça. And they lose, although they are so good like Tito, Luis Enrique or Valverde", has valued on which went his trainer during four seasons.

Finally, Xavi has not wanted to 'wet' on his favourite for the Champions, since it has confessed that sees to several teams with options: "City, Barça, Madrid, PSG... Of the eliminatory between the Madrid and the PSG will go out a favourite. The Bayern, with Heynckes, seems that they have gone back. I think that the thing will go by here, except surprise".
