XAVI MASTERMINDS INTER MIAMI ROUT

Spanish football legend Xavi Hernandez was the mastermind as Barcelona thumped Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami 6-0 in a pre-season friendly match though the Barcelona boss is not on the club’s tour of the United States (US) due to visa issues. It must be pointed out that the game is a pre-season for Xavi Hernandez and his Barcelona players, while Inter Miami are in the middle of the 2022 season as far as MLS football is concerned.


Xavi Hernandez has been able to transform the fortunes of his beloved Barcelona since he was appointed as the new manager towards the end of last year. He came through the famed La Masia Academy at Barcelona before making his debut for the club. He spent the whole of his career at the Nou Camp winning several major trophies in the process. Xavi was able to save Barcelona at a time of need and he’s looking to take them back to the top of European football with the help of the board led by club president Joan Laporta. The ex-Spanish international midfielder has been backed with some interesting players such as Robert Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen and Raphinha. Continue reading →

                DETAILS FROM XAVI AND PIQUE’S CONVERSATION HAVE BEEN RELEASED

A recent report from Mundo Deportivo has offered a detailed report on Gerard Pique’s meeting with Xavi Hernandez a few weeks ago. It was reported that Xavi does not count Pique highly in light of his injury problems. He does not view the veteran as a first-team regular next season, though the player is keen on proving the coach otherwise by remaining at Camp Nou. Among a series of promises made by Pique during the meeting, one of them was how his personal life will not affect his performance on the pitch.

The Spaniard has attracted all kinds of headlines this year, most recently due to his break-up with Colombian pop star Shakira. The defender was also involved in the Spanish Super Cup deal with Saudi Arabia through his company Kosmos. Pique, though, will not let his personal life affect his performances and has promised to give his all for the team. Amid all the recent controversy, the veteran has also promised Xavi to keep a lower profile and not appear in public for a while. Continue reading →
