A former Spanish international rushed to the aid of Xavi, who once again finds himself under fire.

Former Spain international Santiago Canizares believes Deco is FC Barcelona’s biggest problem and not coach Xavi.

There is now talk that Xavi will reconsider his decision to leave the club at the end of the season. News that delighted the former doorman. During an interview with Radio Marca: “Luis Aragonés finished the 2006 World Cup and said he would leave if we didn’t reach the semi-finals, the team reached the quarter-finals and, after reflection, decided to stay and we became champions. For me, the mistake is to make hasty decisions because football is very changeable from one Sunday to the next. The next debate is whether Xavi should be Barcelona coach.”

Deco’s project at Barça called into question

“I am wary of the project that Deco can do. For me, the Messi of the Barça offices was Mateu (Alemany),” added the 2008 European champion, criticizing the work of the current sporting director of Barça.

Cañizares went further to talk about what Xavi means to the Barça team. “President Joan Laporta has something fantastic with Xavi, who is a shield against failure because he is a Barça legend, we respect him even if we don’t like him. The board feels protected by Xavi’s presence.”
