“Barcelona” club midfielder Lamine’as Yamalis, after securing the “La Liga” title, stated that he is creating his own history in this team and credited former coach Xavi for integrating young players:

“I want to be myself, to write my own story, my style as a footballer.

Comparisons to L. Messi? No... Leo Messi is a fantastic player and for me, the Argentine is absolutely the best player in football history.“

“I want to thank Xavi Hernandez, because without him, this would not have been possible.

He gave us, young players, the opportunity to debut in the main Catalan team. I really want to thank this specialist.“

Xavi Hernandez worked at the “Barcelona” club from November 2021 until last summer.
