The moving letter of farewell of Xavi Hernández

By means of an extensive and moving letter published in 'El País', Xavi Hernández has sacked of the that was his big valedor in the Spanish selection in 2008 and one of the trainers that, beside Pep Guardiola, knew to take out the best game of the captain of the FC Barcelona.

This is the writing of Xavi Hernández headed to Luis Aragonese:

"You is not Japanese, you understands me what say him". It said me a night. I am seeing Him, in the room of a hotel and know that I will miss him. A lot. Because I to Luis Aragonese wanted him a lot. And with Luis spoke a lot. It knew that it was not fine, but never thought that had something so grave, that went to go so prompt, so fast, of this way. "I am well, I am well", it said me when it asked him. It spoke from time to time with him, because for me always, from the day that knew him, went an absolute referent.

I suppose that it is the trainer with which more hours have happened speaking of football. It went up to the room and spoke hours. Luis went of face; it looked you in the training, approached and said you: "You is doing the jeta, has come to train and do not see him. To me they do not like me the jetas!". And it went . Luis never deceived, went of face. "You do not play because you have given penalty this week", "Are tired or what?", "Today you have been fantastic, this week go it to embroider". 

"It thinks that I suck me the finger, that am gilipollas?" Like this it was Luis, near, for real. Luis is fundamental in my career and in the history of The Red. Without him, at all it had been the same, impossible. With him it began everything, because it jointed us to the small, Iniesta, Cazorla, Cesc, Silva, Villa... With Luis did the revolution, change the fury by the balloon and showed him to the world that can win playing well. If we do not win the Eurocopa had not won the World-wide, clear that in this sense, was fundamental the arrival of Of the Forest, another phenomenon. 

To Luis gave him a lot of cane but was he the one who marked the way, the one who gave him to Spain the style that has today. In this, always coincide. It was Luis the one who saw what there was and bet by bajitos. "I go to put to the good, because they are so good that go to win the Eurocopa". And we win it. It was intelligent and very brave. Luis did me feel important when my self-esteem was a disaster. It gave me the control of the selection when it did not have it neither in the Barça. 

"Here it commands you", said me, "and that criticise me to me". I decided to give him back the confidence in the field. If I was chosen the best player of the Eurocopa was by him, although he always denied it to me (...). "The word football in the dictionary would have to carry at the side the photo of Luis. Luis is the football done man, the football done person. Until always, mister. And thank you by everything. And that know it: you and I never were Japanese".
