Xavi: "The stimulus is not Madrid, but keep winning"

Xavi, against Spartak and Granada you suffered ... Do you have to take her measure the system?

Yes, it is good for quite a bit, especially by not scoring early, we usually move on the scoreboard and the game varies greatly. In this sense they are closed long ago, both Spartak day as the day of Granada. We greatly complicate, no spaces, do not find them, we have to open a band, change the system ... and when the ball does not enter or goalkeeper, as in the case of Toño, is so successful, there is nothing to do. Just try from outside the area, open either band, we tried three defenders back. But I guess that will change when we move into the marker, completely changed parties and in that sense, we have not had the luck or the ability to move us before the break or in the first minutes of the game.

Golazo against Granada was worth three points.You play more upfront this season?

No game in the same way, but if it is true that the party required that, shooting from outside the area, arriving in second line. I had a chance before I stopped Toño. But well, I feel good physically. He started the season well, I'm cool, I'm comfortable playing as always in my position and nothing, we started very well in this league winning five games and we will try to continue in this dynamic that is very positive so far. And I think we can improve things in the game but the team is good, both physically and psychologically we started very well.

Real have won the Super Cup football and basketball. Is a stimulus for you?

The stimulus is not the Madrid in this case, the stimulus is to keep winning, keep making history in this generation of players. I'd like to win the league, win the Champions League again, the Cup, all that is at stake. We look forward, look forward and not the stimulus Madrid, but ourselves, knowing that if we do things right and are prepared mentally, we great challenges this season.

You notice? Much change from last year's coach?

Yes, put your style, but having been there for four years previously Pep has changed little. Has clear ideas, know what we play, workouts are similar because he also prepared. A person with a great personality who has fixed ideas and clear and there we go. Try not to change the philosophy of play that has led us to achieve the goals in the past and is a highly trained technician who knows the house and very futbolero.

Is the team to beat Benfica in the Champions League?

Yes, on paper itself. It is perhaps the most difficult field. Then we must also go to Moscow, to Glasgow, but on paper the story says that Benfica is the most powerful rival. We will try to continue in this line. We started well at home, we struggled against Spartak, but also a strong opponent and we will try to achieve these six six, that would give us peace of mind to face the next matches of the Champions League is an amazing motivation for the group.

Objective? Wembley?

Yes, it is a challenge too, is a target. We have collected two Champions at Wembley and we'd like. I wish, but it is very difficult. Think of a hypothetical end very soon now

What siginifica for you winning the Prince of Asturias?

I said at the time that it is a pride and honor. Iker and I are lucky to be captains, we've been together longer, we also joined a friendship for many years despite our sporting rivalry and from there I think we stand a little this generation of players who have won However, Euro, Mudial, Euro and playing good football. People feel very proud today of footballers in Spain and represent this generation. It is an honor and great pride to take the award.

Do you think you can win the world also?

Yes, of course. Sure. Spain is a favorite, we will try to qualify well, because we have a tough group. We have to France, go to Belarus, difficult sites, Finland. But I think there's group to qualify well and prepare well for the World Cup.

How do you look for the world?

Physically I'm fine, I'm preparing well. The truth is that I've started well this preseason. This September I'm feeling great physical discomfort and from there I told the Mystes, Del Bosque, I follow, I want to get the world motivates me and I hope to be.

Jordi, how about adapting to your new club?

Good, very good. I have the luck to be at home, with the best players in the world, with the best team in the world. The adaptation is being good, people are treating me great and I hope to go further in the season.

Competition is very tough this year. See hard to get in the team?

They are the best players in the world and of course there is difficult. Already in my presentation with Barcelona said it was a dream to wear the shirt of Barcelona and for that I am, to work, to try to be better every day and hopefully I can play the most minutes possible, but it is clear that competition is very high and try to play as much as possible.

To be champion of Euro makes you more pressure?

They have won many more titles that I have shown much more than me, but in the end all of us in Barcelona are valid and no pressure. Work hard during the season and be a better player every day and try to play as much as possible. But it is clear that compared to my peers I am the least won.

You get to a club fighting for every title, is there one seduce you more than another?

I only managed to win a European Championship, which is not much, but hopefully I can win many more titles. I'm going to a good place, a great club that always, for all players whose club are lucky to win many titles and hopefully also be able to win many titles with them.

Do you think that has changed the way of working the quarry at the club?

Xavi: Yes, the quarry is always the same. The issue is now the coach, maybe that dares to put people back home. In this sense we are very lucky, a lot since the days of Van Gaal have passed Cruyff, Rijkaard, Pep and Tito now that relies heavily on people at home and people respond well.Even we have had in the case of Jordi, Cesc, Piqué, has left people at the time and that has paid in other clubs. I think that Barcelona is the best youth in the world, we work a lot, very well prepared and that the player who has left the think Barcelona is a plus. So we had to go find players who will eventually be gone, but it works phenomenally well.

Jordi: There are different races. Xavi bottom slowly rose to the first team. I had to go first and then to Valencia Cornellá and fetch my way to where I could and in the end I was lucky to sign for Barcelona. When you're out, yes you value more what is Barcelona and when you come back you realize how great this club. Do not let this opportunity because when you go out you see another other clubs are also very big club like Barcelona but there is none.

What advice would you give to George?

Jordi is a veteran player already. It has very clear ideas, is a spectacular player who has signed for Barcelona. A competitive soccer player, winner, is a portent physically, technically the proper equipment, I mean that Barcelona does a signing ten points. Then we have to be him. His personality is great, to be imposed, it will work as anyone, as he has said and run the band as he knows. I wish him well because we share a great friendship, but which no doubt will succeed in Barcelona.

Jordi, what Xavi mean to you?

An example for that in this case, come from below. He has won everything and humility that has few players have. Also has won everything. We share a great friendship and learn from him as a person, which is very large and in the field, the best players in the world, I mean hopefully I can learn a lot more during these years I'll be in Barcelona.
