Xavi Simons: Strange Reports from Germany

The German press has opened a book about the behavior of Xavi Simons outside the field in his time at RB Leipzig. From a locked dog to almost ending up in the favelas, Simons made it pretty colorful.

Simons seemed fast for a long time to Chelsea, but eventually signed a contract with Tottenham Hotspur this summer. In Germany, the cesspool around Simons’s behaviors have now opened outside the field. “” In his time at De Saksen, he mainly provided remarkable anecdotes that will be told for a long time, “says BILD.

According to the medium, Simons decided when he had to report to Oranje in March of this year to let a friend fit his dog. However, the animal is excluded on the roof terrace for days and runs continuously. Neighbors want to call the animal protection or police. RB Leipzig intervenes and since then Simons just takes his dog on a trip. The midfielder should have cry when he heard the news.

A few days before the 3-3 home game against Bayern Munich in May the fire alarm went off in the training center in Leipzig. 300 employees had to leave their workplaces and evacuate the complex, and the fire brigade arrived en masse. The reason: Xavi had a hairdresser to come to the training center. She would have sprayed so much hair spray in his room that the alarm went off.

Leipzig is in Brazil for PR cases in May. A travel agency proposes two locations, where the club can go with the player bus. Simons, however, decides to pass on another location, which means that the group ends up in a favela where a party is planned that evening. The security of the Germans are the only one to get out and blow things off. Simons teammates are not happy with the Dutchman’s action.

It soon becomes apparent why Simons wanted to go to the favela. The day before he had visited this favela with his brother Faustino and a private bodyguard for his own PR event and reportedly met “New Friends” there. He wanted to introduce them to the group of players.

The star allures of Simons give him the nickname ‘Princess’ in the dressing room. In the preparation of technical director Marcel Schäfer, the International Scheldt is still full and refuses to go to a sponsor event of the club in the summer. According to Simons, he is not available because he is going to leave. In Germany they are happy with the transfer of young people.
