Xavi Hernández was an excellent player, he was the teacher of FC Barcelona and he gave Lionel Messi many opportunities to score. This midfielder is considered a legend of the club and of the Spanish National Team.
Now Xavi is coach of FC Barcelona and he is going through a difficult moment in the team, he was eliminated by Manchester United in the Europa League and if he does not win the League and Copa del Rey he will probably be fired.
When Xavi started working as Barcelona coach, he was asked to choose a legend that he would have loved to coach. His response was quite surprising and he chose a player from Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane.
“Difficult… uh, (I would say) Zidane”, he was a player with too much talent and capable of winning a game by himself”, Xavi Hernández said in an interview for the official FC Barcelona media.
Zidane was a great player
Zinedine Zidane was world champion with France, at Real Madrid he won a Champions League and played 108 games, scoring 31 goals and providing 25 assists. He was an impressive player for having a unique talent.
