Laliga: Why I Changed My Mind About Leaving Barcelona – Xavi

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has revealed the rationale behind his decision to remain at the LaLiga club, despite previously announcing his departure in January.

The 44-year-old initially declared his intention to step down as head coach at the end of the season, despite having a contract with the club until 2025.

However, in a surprising turn of events, Xavi has opted to continue his tenure with Barcelona following discussions with the club's president, Joan Laporta, and other key figures.

Explaining his change of heart, the former Spain midfielder cited the overwhelming confidence shown in him by the president, the board, and the players. He emphasized that he and his staff believe in the ongoing project and feel empowered to achieve significant milestones together.

"I reconsidered my decision because I received genuine support from the president, the board, and the players. This project is far from over. My team and I are united in our belief that we can achieve great things and continue advancing this project," Xavi stated.

August 21, 2023 Barcelona Beat Cadiz For First Win Of Season

Barcelona Beat Cadiz For First Win Of Season

Pedri and Ferran Torres’ late strikes earned La Liga champions Barcelona a 2-0 win over Cadiz in their first competitive home game away from Camp Nou on Sunday.

Playing at the Olympic Stadium on the city’s Montjuic hill while their stadium is rebuilt and upgraded over the next year-and-a-half, the visitors nearly thwarted Barcelona.

Barca coach Xavi Hernandez, banned from the dugout after being sent off against Getafe, selected 16-year-old Lamine Yamal on the right instead of the suspended Raphinha, who was also dismissed last weekend.

On his first start for the club, Yamal came closest for the Catalans in the first half with an angled strike expertly tipped to safety by Jeremias Ledesma.

The forward thrilled nearly 40,000 fans — around 10,000 empty seats with a low uptake on season tickets because of the temporary move from Camp Nou.

At the other end, Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen went one better with a superb save to deny Roger Marti one-on-one after Alejandro Balde gave the ball away on the halfway line.

After Getafe held them to a frustrating goalless draw on the opening weekend, Cadiz almost managed the same feat until Ilkay Gundogan cleverly released Pedri to score.

Substitute Torres drove through the middle and tucked home in stoppage time to put a gloss on what was another unconvincing performance.
