The incredible reason why Xavi Hernández didn't arrive at Barcelona earlier: Problems with Messi?

The arrival of Xavi Hernández to the bench of FC Barcelona seems imminent, although there are still several details to be completed. The coach must end his contract with Qatar's Al Sadd first and Barça has no money to sign him, should they have to force the issue. But everything indicates that Xavi will arrive at the club of his loves soon.

Now, what everyone knows is Xavi's desire to coach Barça for a long time and the question they ask themselves is why wasn't it before? The radio program El stringer of the SER chain analyzes the arrival of the coach and a journalist gives the answer to the question.

"Xavi did not want to train Barça before because Lionel Messi was there" is what Javier Matallanas assures us and suggests Xavi's position on the "sacred cows" of Barça, who were his teammates years ago, and his intention not to collide with them, especially with the one who was the owner of the locker room. Without Lionel Messi things are already different but not for that reason simpler.

Would Xavi have hung Messi at Barcelona? In this Barcelona? This squad is very similar or worse than that of the previous season, where Messi scored 38 goals with 42 games. It sounds strange to "point out" the top scorer because he is the leader.
