00:00 I won't be a Barça coach on June 30th.

00:03 I think the situation deserves a change of direction, but I think it's the right time.

00:33 Imanol's proposal, from years ago, is excellent. He's a contrasted coach.

00:41 He's even won a title with Real Madrid, he's made history and he's an example for me.

00:46 I think it will be difficult for Barcelona to find a coach like Xavi.

00:51 I think I'm in the best club I can be.

01:01 I want to continue making history. I'll finish my contract in 2025, I hope.

01:06 But for that I have to win it, and I have to renew it.

01:26 Do you see Michel as a coach of the team?

01:31 Yes, he's the leader of the competition. He has a lot of merit for what he's doing with the Girona this season.

01:38 Xavi is the one who knows the Barça football club the best.

01:45 I have a contract until 2026. Xavi is Barça.

02:02 As a player, I feel like I've let Hansi down.

02:08 I think it's the same for some players.

02:12 You can tell he's a hard worker. He's always focused.

02:19 He was full of motivation when we met.

02:43 I like Thiago Mota a lot. He's training in Bologna.

02:47 I've had two players. I might have a little conflict with this.

02:53 But I like them a lot. I'm watching them. They're doing very well.

03:13 For me? No. That's totally fake news.

03:17 What you read yesterday, I don't know where it's coming from. It's totally untrue. I'm really upset about it.
