DOHA NOVEMBER 7TH 2021

It was my
third time in Barça.

Mateu Alemany came to
Doha with Rafa Yuste.

I spoke to Nuria, my
wife, with my family...

Mainly about staff
issues. It was time.

She asked me for tickets
for Barça-Benfica.

It's a match
that could get us...

Mathematically qualified.

It's a key match for
the future of the team.

Because missing out on the
championship... It can't happen.

We're very excited... And
listen, it'll be fine.

We have to get our ideas across
and set things in motion.

It was unanimous. Which is
unbelievable in football,

there's never something
everyone agrees on.

- Yes.
- It's a fandom so...

There's a lot of excitement now
and that creates expectations.

Next it's just a
matter of results.

But like Òscar says,
we're incredibly excited

to come back home with
such a beautiful project...

They give you the time
and confidence to do it.

Very happy. Now's the time.

BARCELONA NOVEMBER 8TH, 2021

Xavi!
Xavi! Xavi! Xavi!

Xavi! Xavi! Xavi! Xavi!

Thank you very much. I
don't want to get emotional, but...

Xavi! Xavi! Xavi! Xavi!

I'll just say one thing,
like I said before I left,

we're the best
team in the world.

The one
who really counts is Xavi Hernández.

The general of Barça football.

Amazing.

PIERRE-EMERICK
AUBAMEYANG STRIKER

Messi,
Xavi, Fábregas...

Everyone knows him

as one of the best
players in the world,

the engine of Barcelona,
the "Tiki Taka."

Xavi! Xavi!

His iconic play

was him spinning on his heel so
the rivals could hardly see him.

Xavi had a gift just like Leo,
always being in the right position

to receive a pass alone
and not lose the ball.

Messi's looking
for the right angle to the zone,

what a pass he managed
to make to Xavi!

Messi. Goal from
Barça! What a goal!

He'd look before
receiving, it's amazing.

He'd look back to see who was marking
him and be able to control it.

It was incredible to watch,
he's one of my idols.

I remember Barça's golden
years when Pep Guardiola was here.

That center field line-up
with Busi, Xavi, Iniesta...

How well they played.

Barça's
captain, Xavi Hernández.

Xavi! Xavi! Xavi!

We'll be very dedicated,

very dedicated to win.

Barça can't afford to tie or
lose, it has to win every match.

FC BARCELONA - A NEW ERA

BARCELONA NOVEMBER 8TH, 2021

Barça is my home,
I carry it in my heart.

I'm a Barça supporter, I wanna
help this team and I won't stop.

I'll work until I turn
this whole thing around...

Ansu, how are you? Good? Yeah?

Lighten up, come on.

And I come here as
excited as possible.

Piqué, Xavi Hernández.

I'm here to help you, but
I'm gonna get things in order.

We have to give a lot more effort,
we have to aim for excellency.

Great isn't enough. It's not.

I've lived through it, I know it's hard.
I know it's hard to be a Barça player.

We're on Barça,
we're privileged.

You have to value
you're on Barça.

For Barça you give it
your all. You have to win.

Work and effort. We're Barça.

Okay?

The main goal was to
save the season somehow

and qualify for the Champions
League, whatever it took.

XAVI HERNÁNDEZ COACH

The team was in ninth
place at the time.

Below minimum requirements, a
risky situation, in football terms,

not to mention economically.

But I'm surprised
to find many players

that have been here for years
and have trouble stepping up,

understanding where their teammates
are, finding a free player,

understanding who's the third
player to play head-on...

It was a mid-season reboot with
a lot of urgent issues to solve

and it was hard to change
the gameplay model.

Cover the passing line, make
them play there or play long.

If he plays long, number
nine and wings, go here.

Do a sprint! We
apply pressure there.

Come on, Gavi! Come on, Jordi!
Come on, Gavi, that's it!

There, Gavi, that standoff!
That standoff, man!

It's been many years
since we last played together,

but it's exciting to have a
coach who's also been a teammate.

JORDI ALBA DEFENDER

He's more demanding
than any other coach.

We talked, he and
I, in his office, as a captain,

and he was surprised
about the lack of rules.

SERGIO BUSQUETS MIDFIELDER

Ten push-ups, everyone. 0-0.

And it was very
important to him to have order,

to have rules to help us,

which would be implemented
from that moment on.

First feint, then
feint, then go!

I think things
are clearer for Xavi.

He knows how he wants to play,

what he likes, what
he did in the field.

PEDRI MIDFIELDER

I think it shows when he
teaches that to the players.

Earlier, Gavi, get it
first, get it first, Gavi!

There's no time! That's it, get
it first! That's it! Keep going!

He's especially
demanding on midfielders,

about looking before receiving,
always, and on staying on the side.

GAVI MIDFIELDER

MARC-ANDRÉ TER
STEGEN GOALKEEPER

XAVI'S FIRST MATCH
AS BARÇA'S COACH

From Barcelona,
capital of Catalonia, Barça-Espanyol.

Xavi Hernández makes his debut.

PRE-MATCH AGAINST
RCD ESPANYOL TALK

In every match, we, as a team,

and me, as a coach as well,
we'll face challenges,

besides the three
points, evidently.

But besides the three points,
we'll have some challenges.

When he came, he
said there'd be challenges

and honestly we didn't
really know what he meant.

I think it's positive and extremely
motivational for you. Look.

Well, I think he did it to
motivate the team, as an incentive.

For the Christmas holiday
there's a 5 day break.

Okay? If we win today,

you get one more day, the 27th.

You could go to Disney...
Okay? No? All right.

You can rest, be with your
family, lovers, whatever, okay?

Second challenge.

If we score two goals
before minute 30,

I'll buy you dinner
wherever you want,

at Ferran, Salvaje...

I don't know, I haven't been in Barcelona
these past six years. Wherever you want.

Do you agree? All right,
nothing to lose, right?

In the end, the goal is to
win, to get those three points,

and to give extra motivation so
they give 200% from the very start.

Look, three more things and
I'll get off your backs.

Control your emotions, guys.

Ninety minutes with
11 soccer players.

They're going to provoke us,
the referee... We know Espanyol.

Okay? Secondly, like I've
told you, run like animals.

You have to bite. This is
Espanyol, it's a derby.

The audience is with us.

People have hope.
The hope is back.

In those first minutes
give it your all.

Third, and for me the
most important thing,

try stuff, guys. The pressure
is on me and the staff.

Try stuff. We have
very young people...

Soccer is trying over
and over and over.

The pressure is on me.

I told you, I'll defend you to
death in the press conference.

Play with your minds at ease.

Come on, let's go.

Barça's
anthem is playing,

the Barcelona and Espanyol
players run into the field.

Barcelona's derby, and
Xavi Hernández as coach.

Greeting
Barça's players,

Espanyol does the
same in this derby.

A
new era has begun,

Xavi's era as Barça's coach,

and he does so on a very
special day, the derby.

The ball is in play.

Sergio Busquets...
Gavi comes in, Gavi up front.

He seeks the pass... Memphis...
didn't get an opening.

And the referee
calls for a penalty.

There's the penalty.

Here's Memphis.

Memphis shoots...

- Goal!
- All right, all right.

End of match! Barça wins.

Right!

All right, Marc, damn!

Pedri, Pedri, come
here, man! Pedri!

Get in here, man.

I hadn't been to
Camp Nou in six years

and I've noticed a huge
change fandom-wise.

It's cheerful, even
when we suffered

the fans kept
singing and cheering.

We've created hope
with this new project

and people are getting into it.

I imagine
that's a good thing.

You'd never imagine a
team like Barcelona,

that has always been in the Champions,
to be missing in that league.

I'm very optimistic and I
see tomorrow as a new chance.

If the opposite happens, then
we'll get ready for that scenario.

But why think of a
negative scenario

when you can think positively?
And it's a possibility, right?

GROUP STAGE MATCHDAY 5

BARÇA BEATS BENFICA,
REACHES ROUND OF 16

Hello, hello! How are
you? Greetings. Welcome to Camp Nou.

To be or not to
be? Barça-Benfica.

It's over, 0-0!

Come on, guy. Be proud,
okay? Come on, Gavi. Gavi, come on.

We couldn't
get more than a tie,

that was the first
hard pill to swallow.

SIXTH MATCH OF THE GROUP STAGE:

BARÇA MUST WIN TO
ADVANCE TO PLAYOFFS

I'm
noticing some tense faces,

you remember the 2-8, 0-3...

TEAM TALK BEFORE MATCH
AGAINST FC BAYERN

Relax, guys. We have a
chance to make history.

No one's betting on us, no one.

Everyone already sees
us in the Europa League

and that Bayern is going to beat us...
Does Lewandowski play to score goals?

First chance, you say,
"You wanna play? Yeah!"

It's our lives, and we may lose, but
if we do, we do it giving it our all.

Let's come back to the
locker room and say,

"Hey, we gave it our all, we played,
and we're proud of the team."

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCHDAY
6 FC BAYERN - FC BARCELONA

Lewandowski in the zone,
even with Piqué. There goes Lewandowski.

Lewandowski shoots
to the second post...

Araujo catches it...

And goal!

I expected
to compete another way.

Today is also a huge
blow for me as a coach.

I think we hit rock
bottom. We didn't qualify.

I told them the truth
in the locker room,

at that time, that match
was unworthy of the team.

When we don't play good enough, I get
mad. The lack of energy angers me.

Xavi has an awful temper,
he has a strong character.

SERGIO ALEGRE ASSISTANT

He's not one to get mad, but
when he does, he gets pissed.

ÓSCAR HERNÁNDEZ
ASSISTANT COACH

He's was in the locker
room, with a whiteboard...

It's possibly one of my angriest
days because I was disappointed.

In the end, I am the coach and
these values can't be missing.

I'm talking about
effort, solidarity,

being a family, respecting
your teammates, competing.

And that's what makes me feel
bad as a Barça supporter,

not as a coach,
but as a supporter.

Bayern is a better team than us
currently, that's our reality.

For me it's hard,
but from today on,

because I love the team and I
feel for them, we'll work hard.

It'll be very demanding
because this can't happen.

There's been times he
didn't have a good time.

He didn't have a good time.

He had a perfect life in Doha.

No one bothered him
there, here he's a legend

and he has to go on the streets
with sunglasses and a hat...

We can't unplug from soccer
for a single minute of our lives.

You go buy bread and
someone says something.

You go to your parents' house and
they ask why you made that switch.

It's unbelievable, but when
you want to unplug, you can't.

MATCHDAY 17 CA
OSASUNA - FC BARCELONA

We're in a tough situation,
okay? A tough situation.

TEAM TALK BEFORE MATCH
AGAINST CA OSASUNA

But, hey! Cheer up, boys.

Don't fuck with me, guys.
Now the heat is on me...

"Xavi's inexperienced."
Well, I don't care.

I don't care, guys.
Let them come.

I dare you! Try
it, I don't care.

Try three side sprints,

try a center shot, and getting
to the first post, man.

We need happiness. You
have a lot of talent, guys.

You have talent. Get
it through your heads.

Come on, get it
together!

Barça plays
in El Sadar, Pamplona.

The players
know the situation they're in

and they have to win
today no matter what.

Corner kick
off around the second post,

he shoots...

- Goal from Osasuna!
- You could see it coming!

Man, what
a frustrating moment.

It's frustrating, I won't lie.

I don't dislike sleeping,

I like to sleep. It's
when I rest my mind...

Sometimes I have trouble
sleeping, the stress...

And there's hard times,
there's hard times,

when the morning comes and you
think, "Man! Today's hard."

MATCHDAY 18 FC
BARCELONA - ELCHE CF

We're in a shitty situation.
It's shitty, guys!

TEAM TALK BEFORE
MATCH AGAINST ELCHE CF

Look, we took the challenge down a
peg. Okay? It's just winning now.

Win and I'll pay for
whatever you want.

In the end it was "scoring the first
goal" and the opponent did it...

"Score before minute 20"
and we didn't get it...

In the end I told them, "Look, the
challenge is to win, just win."

I'm here pro bono... No, no,
you have to win, guys. Hey!

The staff is putting everything
on the line to win, guys...

So are you.

Three points, deep breaths,
and we'll even look handsome...

Okay?

Come on, damn it, come on!

MATCHDAY 17

Look what Gavi
just did! Look what Gavi just did!

- Goal!
- What a goal!

Dear
God, the goal the kid just scored!

It was the first
goal for Barcelona,

which is the team of my life,

where I've been the most years.
It was very special for me.

Brutal!

Pablo Martín Páez Gavira had
made the goal of the day!

End of the match, the Barça kids
win, the Barça of the future.

GAVI TURNS 18 AUGUST 5TH, 2022

I arrived at
age 10 from Seville.

The first year I was with my
parents and when the season was over

I told them I wanted to live
in La Masía with my teammates

and I've been in La
Masía for seven years.

It's been good. It was
a bit hard at the start,

but then we picked up the
pace and we've finally won.

I define myself as a technical player,
very technical, nimble, and fast.

- What's your soccer dream?
- To play on the main Barça team.

Eighteen already?

- You can get a driver's license.
- It's over?

I tell my teammates
in La Masía everyday

how it's like on the first team and
I'm very happy to share it with them.

He bought the whole Nike store.

Damn, it's your birthday!
Congratulations!

Eighteen, right?

I'm used to it because
I've been here several years,

but I also wish I
could live by myself.

It's about time.

He's crazy.
He's a special guy.

The passion he has, the courage,
the will, the character...

He's 17 and he doesn't care, he'll
go up against a 6'5" dude anyway.

He's all passion.
It's priceless.

But he has the bad habit of
playing without tying his shoes.

One day I jokingly asked if he
knew how, I said, "Show me."

"No, man, I do know how."

"One day they'll step on
them or you'll fall..."

"No, no, I play
better like this."

Go ahead. Otherwise
it wouldn't be Gavi.

SIGNING MARKET JANUARY 2022

Today's a great day.

Ferran Torres has shown interest in
joining Barça, who I'd like to thank.

Well, it was easy.

Xavi wanted me. He called
me, he insisted I came...

Okay, then! Welcome,
man! All good?

All right!

Welcome!

I had
some problems with Arsenal.

It was Xavi who called me,

and after his call I
decided to come to Barça.

Well, let's
welcome Pierre. Pierre, right?

- Auba.
- Auba's better?

Yes. I'm very happy
to be here, thank you very much.

DANI ALVES RETURNS TO F.C.
BARCELONA SIX SEASONS LATER

I left here thinking and
feeling I hadn't been given the chance

to say goodbye like
everyone else has here.

Life has to give me that back.

Like I always said, this team
is different, it's not the same.

This team has an energy
that only those who lived it

can know, it's different...
It's more than a team.

I wasn't okay, honestly,
since Joan took charge.

I knew a cycle had finished
and another had started,

but the most valuable
thing had been lost,

which was the essence
of how we did things.

There is no revolution
without a good tradition.

This team was made to win.

To win with an identity that
makes people want to be like you.

You are a reflection
of your soul.

If the soul reflects a good vibe,
you'll show it on the field.

A good collection of trophies.

A lot of good people.
The good of this world.

He's the player with most
awards in the history of this team.

When I called him, he said:

"I'll eat your dust,"

and I said, "You'll help us, Dani,
you'll help us because we need

some sort of joy, competitiveness,
a winning character..."

I feel I can still be useful
both on and off the field.

DANI ALVES DEFENDER

Wait a second, I'll get...

Hey, bring some flip
flops for him too.

We had lost that identity
which is so clear to me.

Here you have to win
and defend a history.

I felt people had no trust,

and if you don't have trust

or you fear failure,
you've already failed.

Today's an intense
day, guys. A key day.

It's a direct rival, we
get in the Champions...

They'll make us work for
it. It's a brave team...

Go get them, get the
match. Let's win this.

Life's flying by, guys.
Let's get in the Champions.

Okay? Go get them, come on!

MATCHDAY 23

Barcelona, in Camp Nou,
plays against Club Atlético Madrid.

MATCHDAY 23 FC BARCELONA
- ATLÉTICO MADRID

Koke passes again
to Luis Suárez...

and goal.

In this match, I
remember I wasn't going through

a good moment, personally.

I hit it with my shin,

but it made Camp
Nou and the people

believe we could win.

Left
quick to the center.

Watch for the shot. Goal!

Goal from Dani Alves!

He becomes the most veteran
player in Barça's history

to score a goal in LaLiga.

Dani Alves and Camp
Nou, a love story.

It was very nice, and I
connected. I simply opened my arms

to receive people's energy and
I started to relive things.

I know the value
of returning here.

We've lived things very few teams
will have the honor of living.

MATCHDAY 23 FC BARCELONA
4 - 2 ATLÉTICO MADRID

End of match. A huge
victory for Barça against Atlético Madrid.

MATCHDAY 23

Somehow it was a
turning point to tell ourselves

that we were playing
well and to keep it up.

Come on, we're in the
Champions! No one can stop us!

We asked Cholo
Simeone if at any point

in the match if he'd seen Barça as
superior tactically of technically,

and he replied with
a simple, "No."

Do you think Barça was
superior at any point?

Of course. What he looks
for is totally different,

it's the opposite
of what we look for.

We start from the
"Four P" play model.

The first "P" is positioning.

It's very important that everyone
knows where their teammates are.

If my teammate is there, I
can't be in the same position.

We talk a lot about grids.

These four squares have to
be occupied by the ball.

Okay? Ready at the square.
Okay, Frenkie, Gavi?

I don't go in the square. This
is for Busquets or a midfielder.

The sides are wide open.

The laterals not so open.

Midfield, pivot,
interiors and the pointer.

And positioning for us is basic,
that's why we do positioning games.

The famous accordion, when
you don't have the ball,

everyone goes 10-15 meters in.

When we do, they go 10-15
meters out to open the field.

That's the idea
Barça's used these last few years,

and he knows it very well,
it's ingrained in him.

Then possession, it's very
important to own the ball.

I once talked to
Xavi about it, he said,

"There's nothing
faster than the ball."

If you have it, you're covered.

If you have it, you
can charm the world.

When I ask what percentage of
possession we think we can manage...

I always say I'd
like to have 100%.

I think it's not easy,

especially for people who haven't
played here since they were little,

but in the long run, we'll all
understand these 4P perfectly.

Less touching. One or two
taps. Head-on. Head-on again.

Start with it. That's
unstoppable, guys.

The other one is pressure. We
talk about recovering the ball,

not stealing it, because
the ball is ours.

Step forward. Recover the ball.

Everyone step forward.
Pressure after loss,

we're recovering a lot of
balls on the opposite side.

I go towards the goalie
and intercept the pass.

Then there's the
perception of the game.

We talk about strength
in numbers in the game.

A midfielder divides
if he's alone,

he divides until he's faced,
so he can free a mark.

And the perception is to
see who's the free mark

and find it constantly.

Midfield, go in. Divide.

Sides open. Interiors
go for the offensive.

Each knows when.

Guys, you did it in
training. You know it.

I think the team's
getting better and better

and that's very important for
the way we're trying to play.

Raise your head. That's it.

We don't play to
run around and win.

No, we play to
understand the game.

And I leave a way out, I always
support my teammates. Be dynamic.

Always being dynamic.

Play simple, guys. This
is playing football well.

So, positioning, possession,
pressure and perception of the game.

That way, the player,
everything we work for,

the gameplay model in training,

is based on this "Four P" model.

MATCHDAY 25 VALENCIA
CF - FC BARCELONA

We have an important
soccer battle today...

TEAM TALK BEFORE MATCH
AGAINST VALENCIA CF

With wastes of time, standoffs,
kicks, faults, interruptions...

This
was my first official match

and I was very
happy and excited.

Correct
positioning by Aubameyang,

Aubameyang as the ball...

Goal!

Aubameyang debuts in Mestalla.

Ball again for Gavi, no marks,

Gavi shoots center...
Aubameyang...

Goal!

Aubameyang again.

For the
second goal we did a nice play,

Gavi made a great pass and
I made the shot.

They tell
me to shoot towards the goal.

It's what Xavi
asks for the most.

They didn't give me that goal,
they gave it to Auba.

I knew I had
touched it, but didn't wanna celebrate.

Normally, I wouldn't have counted it,
but the referee decided it.

MATCHDAY 25 VALENCIA
CF 1 - 4 FC BARCELONA

See
you have to shoot?

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER MARKET,
DEMBÉLÉ IS SEPARATED FROM THE TEAM

With Ousmane,
the moment I told him

the team's decision was that he
didn't play, I was very honest.

He always said he
wanted to stay on Barça,

but, of course, he didn't
renew, and I thought,

"Well, he must've signed
with another team."

About Dembélé.
Okay? About Ousmane.

It's in the press, you
know, it's a touchy issue.

It's not easy. It
isn't to me either.

But the team has made a choice.

Those here are a family and
have to know everything.

The team thinks the manager
is pulling the club's leg.

He either renews
or finds a way out.

It's the team's choice. Okay?

No problem, train your heart
out. "We've bet on you playing."

He's a player that
could be world-class.

I always say, "Ousmane, I'm
on the lateral and I'm fucked,

it seems you'll
carry both guns".

The signing market ended
and Dembélé is still on Barça,

he's back on the roster.

MATCHDAY 26 FC BARCELONA
- ATHLETIC CLUB

How do you
ask 100,000 people for forgiveness?

This could be a good sign.

It can't be easy
to go through a situation like he has.

But he was mad and
he wanted to show it.

And the hissing
became applauses.

MATCHDAY 26 FC BARCELONA
4 - 0 ATHLETIC CLUB

I've
been here for 25 years

and I've never seen
naturals like this.

MATCHDAY 26

The match
is over. Unbelievable! 4-0.

Outstanding assist
by Ousmane Dembélé.

MATCHDAY 28

FC BARCELONA - A NEW ERA

Wow.

It was amazing!

I'm a big
fan of Dragon Ball.

I was in the hotel
room in Madrid.

I picked up the phone and said,

"I want to have a party because
I think today will go well."

Find the Crystal Ball.

Then I went to
sleep. I fell asleep.

I don't like to be
woken up.

Suddenly...
someone's at the door.

I say, "Who could it be?"

I open the door and there was
a Crystal Ball.

Perfect. I gave him the
tickets for the match.

I said, "When I score, I'll go wherever
you are, so give me the Crystal Ball."

And so it was.

I couldn't do it on the first
goal because I knew it was far.

But I knew I'd score
a second goal...

So I went to see him, and
he gave me the Crystal Ball.
