LIGA - Barcelona: Carles Puyol have total faith in Xavi
As part of a charity tournament, former FC Barcelona defender and captain Carles Puyol was present along with Spain coach Luis Enrique. The latter had come to support his ex-deputy Juan Carlos Unzué, a victim of this disease since last year.
Asked by the Spanish media about the arrival of Xavi at the head of Barça, Puyol recognizes the talent of the 41-year-old technician to bounce back during periods of crisis and thus restore the Blaugrana image.
“I know Xavi very well, and I know he is very well prepared and I have no doubts that he will perform very well. You have already heard his speech. He had times as a player where we had difficult situations. Then we did a lot of things with a great team. We didn't win anything and then we won everything playing great football. So he knows exactly what to do, you have to give him time and confidence, ” he said of his former teammate.
