Nobody has made things easy for Xavi. I think we have worked well.

I mean, then saying that we do not like the tactics, we do not like the videos…

Look, I had Antonio Conte,

who spent an hour in there every day,

and I did not care because we are professionals and my job comes first.

You know? It is one thing when you go to play football with your friends and you do

not feel like watching a video for half an hour, obviously,

but I am a professional and if I have to watch a video for half an hour,

I watch it, and there is no problem at all because that is how you prepare matches.

And, I mean,

in the summer I spoke with someone from the NFL,

and they are in there all day from 9 to 6 or 8 watching videos.

So there it is not a problem.

So I think that our professionalism has been called into question.

and it is true that sometimes with a coach things go better and sometimes worse,

but I think that the first months with Xavi

went very well and suddenly we hit a rough patch where we could not find ourselves,

and that happens in football,

and in the end decisions are made,

but we, as a team, as a player you do not call the shots,

in the end the coach is in charge and we respect that authority.
