«I lost the dressing room. I lowered those high standards, and the players no longer had the same attitude, the same respect, the same efforts. The standards kept falling, we didn’t win anything. I learned a lot from this. I had to be self-critical,» the 45-year-old specialist is quoted by Mundo Deportivo.

Recall that Xavi worked as the coach of «Barcelona» from November 2021 to January 2024.
