„Barcelona“ legend Xavi believes that Lionel Messi's career is not nearing its end. The 32-year-old Argentine has been defending the honor of the „Barcelona“ team since 2004. According to Xavi, his career with the Catalan team could continue for at least seven more years. „He still has five or seven more years“, Xavi said. – He takes care of his body and can play until he is 37, 38, or 39 years old. I have no doubts that he will play in the World Cup taking place in Qatar.“ When asked if he himself hopes to become L. Messi's coach in the near future, Xavi replied: „This January, I felt that I am not yet ready to coach the „Barcelona“ team. I spoke with Abidal and Grau, received a good offer, but I just felt that this is not the right time. I still need to gain experience. Coaching „Barça“ is my dream. I hope that one day I will be able to make it come true.“"
