Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez made statements at a press conference ahead of the Champions League match they will play against Napoli.
Xavi said, "I will work as if I hadn't announced my resignation. I am truly motivated, nothing has changed. This is the pressure that comes with working for Barcelona."
"NAPOLI WILL BE DIFFICULT"
Speaking about his opponent, the experienced coach said, "Napoli is a strong opponent, especially considering their front three. Defending well and not allowing counter-attacks is of fundamental importance for us. It will be difficult. We are not thinking about what comes after this. Our main goal is to reach the quarter-finals. There is more unity in the team, and the reactions, including those from the president and Deco, are very good. I am satisfied with the atmosphere in the dressing room."
"A DRAW IS NOT GOOD FOR BARÇA"
Stating that they will play to win, Xavi said, "As always, we will take the field for victory. We are going out to win because we are Barcelona, and a draw is not a good result for Barcelona. If it ends in a draw, we will have to look at the conditions. We must also not forget that we have a home match ahead of us."
"I DON'T THINK MY FUTURE IS IN DANGER"
Speaking about his future, the Spanish coach commented, "I don't think my future is in danger right now. I have great hopes and motivation."
Napoli and Barcelona will face each other on Wednesday at 23:00.
