Xavi Hernández, who is currently successfully starting his coach career at the head of Al-Sadd Qatari, is very critical of Spain, following the impending judgment at the trial of the process , and states that in Qatar things work better, despite not Be a rule of law. "I don't live in a democratic country, but I think the system here works better than the one there. I want the best for my future and that of my children. Unfortunately, I see that Spain does not work in the best way," he says.

"There are many advantages here. Peace of mind, security ... We have no house key, you leave the car running ... Nuria even tells me that if we can continue here it will be even better for our children. The two were born here. In Qatar people are happy, "continues the former Barcelona midfielder and national team.

His position on the Catalan issue also leaves no one indifferent. "In a democratic state, as Spain is supposed to be, people have the right to decide. Why then do they not let them do it? And I do not say whether I am independentist or not. What I say is that it is an injustice that there are political prisoners" .

"I await a strong sentence"

Xavi admits that he has communicated with the prisoners by letter. "It's very sad, especially the case of the Jordis. It has no name," he emphasizes. "I am quite apolitical, but I observe a lot of injustice in Spain. It affects me a lot. I expect the worst, a strong sentence, which is why my friends in politics at ERC explain to me," he adds.

About a possible return to Camp Nou, the former Barca captain does not fully clarify his options on the bench. "On the one hand I like it, because it means that people see me capable of being futuristic, but on the other I feel like a slab. It is hard to find the moment. It was difficult to leave and it will not be easy to return. There are always doubts. That does not exclude. don't make me a huge illusion. "

Valverde support

"It would not be inconvenient to direct my former colleagues," he continues. "I know how Leo [Messi], Luis [Suárez], Busi [Sergio Busquets] are ... I know how they train, their leadership capacity, if one day they are sad or angry. I wish as a coach you could have three, five , eight or 10 players that you know and have had a good relationship with. "

Finally, Xavi defends the questioned Ernesto Valverde, despite the poor results: "When Neymar left, he adjusted the team, gave him a lot of defensive security and continued to dominate the games, although differently. The players have said that they are very well with him and that they work very comfortably. He will win or lose himself, but nobody argues that the workforce is with him, "he concluded.
