As part of a charity padel 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.
