The

Barça

bench is nothing short of electrified. There are many coaches, some faster than others, who have been consumed by its tremendous demands.

Xavi

, for now, is the last in a long list. «They make you feel worthless, every day.

Speaking with Pep, he already told me, and so did Ernesto

. I saw Luis Enrique suffer.

We have a problem with the demands

of this position, it seems that you are risking your life at every moment, it does not happen in any club. That's why I say it's cruel, because it's not really enjoyable," stressed the coach, who announced on Saturday that on June 30 he will put an end to this stage on the bench. At this stage, he does not rule out returning to lead the team in the future.

Xavi's poor legacy: without football, without speech and with the quarry as the only light

«

I don't rule out being the coach again

. I am a club man and Barça will have me for whatever they need, but now they don't need me. I had decided from the beginning of the season, the work that the entire

staff

has done is not valued

," he insisted. «When I say that we are under construction,

you kill me

. I also say that we do not have the Barça of 2010, there are criticisms. I have the feeling that no matter what I do or what I say, it doesn't change anything. That's why I'm leaving. I don't think it was a matter of story, I have been telling it. It's a matter of the environment, the club, and myself. I have generated this and I have to leave," added Xavi, who claimed to have found a lot of support. Above all, in the president.

«He told me to be strong, but it is not a question of strength. The feeling is not that I have not been valued within, but that everything we do in this situation is not valued," explained Xavi, who was confident that the players will take a step forward.

«They have transmitted a lot of love and esteem to me, starting with the players and continuing with the fans. I feel very loved. We have done a good job, but this season we have not risen to the occasion. We must accept the situation, although foundations have been laid for the future," he added. «

The wear and tear has nothing to do with the economic situation

. We have been adapting to the circumstances, knowing that the situation is complicated. I have a very calm conscience. "I have prioritized the club and the footballers," he reiterated.

Since the announcement of his goodbye, the dance of names of possible replacements began. Among them, that of

Rafa Márquez

who seemed to offer himself for this last weekend. «Rafa is a friend, perhaps his words were taken out of context, or he was misunderstood. That he wants to coach Barça one day is legal and natural," said the current Barcelona coach, who also admitted that taking over from him will not be easy either. «

The same thing is going to happen to him

. This is the problem. He would tell him to be natural, to do what he feels and not to let himself be influenced. This is how I have done it and I am proud. This season is not being good, you have to be realistic, but things have been done well. My advice would be to enjoy it, but it's impossible," he said.
