While Sergi Roberto is criticized by many observers and his contractual situation is at an impasse, Xavi wanted to defend his player.
At the end of the contract on June 30, Sergi Roberto is heading straight for a departure from FC Barcelona at the end of the season as negotiations for an extension of his contract are deadlocked after talks collapsed at the start of autumn. However, Xavi clearly does not intend to see his player leave at the end of this exercise, and that is why he insisted on defending Sergi Roberto against the criticisms he made the subject while sending a message to the management of FC Barcelona to underline his importance in the workforce.
“He is a fundamental player for the team and he is is what I passed on to the club “
” Sergi is a person who is an example for the youth team, for the professionals, and he played for a year suffering and was unfair for him. And he was criticized, whistled at Camp Nou, despite his involvement. He was never 100%, he tried, but it was not possible and I recommended him to stop. We must value this player, he is a fundamental player for the team and that is what I transmitted to the club. And we hope that when he is recovered, he will be happy and be able to give the best of himself because the team needs him, ”explained Xavi at a press conference this Friday in comments reported by Mundo Deportivo.
