Xavi: I lowered my standards after winning La Liga with Barcelona and must criticize myself

Recently, former Barcelona coach Xavi attended an event, during which he talked about his experience coaching Barcelona.

Xavi said frankly: "When I started my coaching career at Barcelona, the requirements for the players and the club were very high, but the club itself was at a stage with few requirements."

"My mistake was that I only maintained that high standard in the first year, from the time I arrived until we won La Liga and the Super Cup."

" After a while, I reflected on myself and said to myself: Damn, what happened to me? I lowered the high standards I set before, and the players' attitude, respect, and effort were no longer what they were before. "

"The standards dropped again and again until the last season when we didn't win anything. I have to criticize myself."source:vn 7m cn live
