According to IRNA, following the news of the beginning of the investigation into the sexual abuse of “Albert Binais” from more than 60 of his students, Xavi spoke about this in a press conference yesterday (Saturday).
None of the former Barcelona players appear to have joined the former coach’s accusers.
Binayez, 71, was a key member of the technical staff of Barcelona’s youth academy from 1991 to 2011; A period that coincided with the advent of the golden generation of the Blues and players like Andres Iniesta and Xavi.
Binayes returned to Barça last year after spending some time at foreign clubs following the re-emergence of Juan Laporta, but resigned last week citing personal reasons.
“I have no information about such incidents, although this does not mean that they did not happen,” Xavi said. He was my coach and I was never suspicious. I’m so surprised. I did not expect such a thing.
He added: “I talked to the technical staff because we all love Albert very much. This has taken us all by surprise. However, the judiciary must make the final decision.
The president of Barcelona has also said that the club is analyzing what happened and the news has been published.
He added: “I also declare that anyone who tries in any way to link this issue to Barça in the wrong way will face a strong reaction from the club.”
