All the details of the meeting between Xavi and Hansi Flick

On Thursday afternoon Hansi Flick, FC Barcelona coach, walked the 500 meters that separate his home in Barcelona from that of his predecessor on the Barça bench, Xavi Hernández. The two were chatting on the terrace of the former technician’s apartment. Commenting on the play. Talking about football and the club that now unites them even more. The meeting lasted for an hour and a half in which they also shared their feelings as occupants of the Barcelona bench. Both had this meeting pending. And Flick was the first to remember it. Xavi responded by inviting him to his house. He offered him a snack, but the German didn’t want to take anything.

They’ve known each other for years. Since Flick was part of the coaching staff of the German team and later became a coach. They have always had a good relationship. Even in the fateful week in which president Joan Laporta began planning the dismissal of Xavi Hernández with the trip of Deco and Bojan Krkic to London to meet with Flick, Xavi wrote to the German to ask if the meeting had taken place.

Both coaches have had a relationship since Flick was the German coach.

At that moment Flick, who still did not know how the film would end, did not know what to answer and delayed it. In a club as changeable as Barcelona, ​​the German did not dare to assure Xavi that the decision had been made and that he was the chosen one. It was one of the topics of conversation on Xavi’s terrace. Flick regretted what had happened.

Yesterday morning Xavi asked for permission to publish the photo of the meeting. Flick, who does not have social networks, told him to go ahead. “Good luck, Hansi! Check out Barça!” wrote the man from Terrassa in Catalan, Spanish and English. His children, Dan and Asia, also appear in the snapshot. The message is none other than that of unity. That of conveying that two Barcelona fans, two technicians, can get along and respect each other.

The meeting between Flick and Xavi took place at the former’s house on Thursday afternoon and lasted for an hour and a half.

With this appointment Flick reached 100 days on the Barça bench. He told Xavi that the footballers are training very well. That the team is united. Isolated from the voices of the famous surroundings. Also from environment . To this day, Flick has no contact with Laporta’s board or with the president’s closest entourage. Nor is he aware of the noise that always surrounds the Barça bench. He has learned to isolate himself after the criticism he received when he was the German coach and was dismissed in September 2023. He had a relatively bad time. Since then, he has been in favor of focusing on what happens on the green. The rest are neither interested in him now that he does not master the language nor will he be interested when he has perfected his Spanish further.
