"Barcelona's" Camp Nou stadium officially presented Xavi, who will now be at the helm of the Catalan club and start a new chapter at this club. On this occasion, the Spaniard shared his thoughts on the upcoming transfer window, through which "Barca" can strengthen, as well as spoke about O. Dembele's situation and what values should be nurtured in the club. "We have to work a lot every day. We are "Barcelona" - the best club in the world. This is the only way to achieve a result. We want to play beautiful football. If I am compared to Guardiola, that is better than good. Pep is the best coach in the world," Xavi said. "We spoke with President Laporta about the January transfer window, of course. We need to see how Ansu Fati (who suffered a knee ligament injury over the weekend) recovers from his injury, I want to play with wingers - we have good players for different systems. Extending Ousmane Dembele's contract is one of our priorities. He can be the best player in the world in his position. He needs to work a lot, he has a lot of potential to make a difference in the Barcelona team, as one of the best players. But he needs to be stable," said the new Barcelona coach. Xavi also revealed that L. Messi contacted him: "Leo Messi wished me the greatest success. He is amazing, but he is not here, like Eto'o or Ronaldinho. We have to think about the future, not about those players who are no longer here." Barcelona legend Xavi also added that he will demand a lot from his players, but he will also help them, and the Spaniard himself will give everything he has to make this stage at the Catalan club successful. "I'll give everything to make it work". Xavi Hernández is back. 🔵🔴 #FCB @FCBarcelona pic.twitter.com/RGFA2biQ1L - Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) November 8, 2021
