“The renovation of Lamine Yamal is under control. He wants to continue here and his wish is to succeed at Barça. Everything is going well”, Xavi Hernández assured this Monday two days after making his 15-year-old Barça squad debut in the League, whose father is a Real Madrid fan and has Jorge Mendes as his representative. “Lamine Yamal doesn’t think about anything other than succeeding here,” added the Barca coach, after the youth squad player has already told Barça his desire to continue at the club and sign after the summer, as Barcelona wishes, his new contract, when he turns 16.
Xavi described the new pearl of Barça as “a calm and intelligent person who has a well-furnished head.” “The idea is for her to continue in our first team dynamics and to participate,” said the Catalan coach, convinced that the club will know how to manage her growth despite her youth. «Although she is of cadet age, she may not drive in the usual lane, but take a fast lane. She has first-team material », he pointed out regarding the youngest Barça footballer to debut with the league championship.
He was also happy with Ansu Fati, “who the other day (on Saturday against Betis) was dynamic, eager and involved.” “He’s fine, calm down. Ansu has to do like everyone else. When he has minutes to show that he is competitive for the team », he commented.
Regarding the possibility of recovering Abde when his loan to Osasuna ends at the end of the season, the team that Barça faces this Tuesday in the 33rd matchday of the League, Xavi acknowledged that “he has made a difference in many games” and that he sees him “A very great talent to succeed at Barça.” «He has conditions, but it will depend on his mentality. He has matured a lot and I am happy with the transfer of him to Osasuna, because he has gone to a very good team to mature », he admitted.
Precisely, Barça will receive Osasuna four days before the Navarrese team plays the Cup final against Real Madrid, and Xavi did not want to publicly reveal who he wants to take the title and wished “that the best man win.” «Who do you imagine I want to win? You don’t answer me, well I don’t either. You had it easy, “he replied with a laugh to the journalist who asked him about his preferences.
Regarding the semifinals of the Champions League between Madrid and Manchester City, Xavi described the team led by Pep Guardiola as “the best team in the world.” «His football of him is a mirror for us. They have the best coach in the world. It would be fair if he won the treble,” he said.
