According to the Tasnim news agency, Andrés Iniesta, the midfielder of the Japanese Vissel Kobe football team, gave an exclusive interview to the Spanish magazine Marca on the occasion of Christmas, in which he answered a question about the possibility of joining his former teammate Xavi Hernandez in the technical staff of the Blues and Oranges.
38-year-old Iniesta, who has a contract with Vissel Kobe in January 2024, said about the possibility of working with Xavi Hernandez to lead Barcelona: Well, it is a very difficult task. People dream about such a scenario because they have seen the two of us together during our acting days and they know that we have a very good relationship. It would be a beautiful scene, but the reality is that its realization is very difficult and unlikely. He is now the head coach of the team and I am still playing football and I still have no idea about working as a coach. Me and him joining each other for coaching creates a difficult situation. The most important thing is for him to do his job and for Barcelona to return to the place we want and for us all to be satisfied with the reality of the team.
The former captain of the Catalans also emphasized about the current situation of this team led by Xavi: with the situation in which he accepted the leadership of Barcelona, working in this team was not easy at all, because the level of the team was by no means what was expected, but the progress of the team since His entry is quite clear and the process has been positive. I know that in the end it is cups that measure the success of a coach, but we should not ignore the positive progress that the team has made since Xavi’s coaching.
