Although he left FC Barcelona this summer, Lionel Messi continues to follow the news of the club blaugrana and has not missed the return of Xavi , his former teammate. “I often talk to Xavi. I always have. We are friends, we have shared a lot of things and since he left we have kept in touch. I don't remember what I said in the post, I congratulated him on this new step and wished him the best. I am sure he will do very well because he knows a lot of things, he is a hard worker and he knows the club well, ”he confides in the columns of MARCA before being relaunched on the return of another of his former teammates: Daniel Alves . Messi validates the returns of Alves and Xavi “The truth is is that his return surprised me, primarily because of the timing. I think it can be a good addition, just like in the case of Xavi it can be important for young people. He will help them grow because he is a winner and he transmits a lot. He will do it with young people, both in matches and in training. Because he will also bring a lot off the field with his daily work, his commitment and the desire he always has to win ”, assures the number 30 of PSG in an interview with MARCA .
