Xavi reveals classy gesture from ‘very honorable’ Barcelona boss Hansi Flick
Former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has given an explosive new interview where he’s had plenty to say about Joan Laporta during his time in charge.
Yet Xavi also took time out to talk about Hansi Flick and his classy behavior after it was decided he would take over at the club.
“We message each other constantly. I always congratulate him on the team, we talk about football… In fact, he once came to my house because of a difficult situation, and that’s very kind of him,” he told La Vanguardia.
“He came to apologize when I asked him if the club had actually been talking to him while I was the manager, during those two or three weeks when the club had already decided to let me go but no one told me directly.
“He apologized, we talked for over two hours, it was fantastic. The club told him not to say anything to me, and that’s why he came to my house to apologize. He’s a good guy, very honorable, and I’m glad he’s doing well.”
Xavi also spoke about his legacy and says he built a strong foundation for Flick to continue with at Camp Nou.
“Absolutely, it’s dominant, attacking… We Barça fans enjoyed it, and I’m happy because I think we laid a very good foundation for this project to continue; the backbone of the team is made up of Lamine, Pedri, Balde, Cubarsí, Fermín… people we put our faith in. It’s one of the legacies I’m most proud of, even more than the two titles we won.”
