INDOSPORT.COM – Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard said that Barcelona did a great job appointing Xavi Hernandez as the new coach.
The Spanish League giants, Barcelona, have gone crazy since being coached by Xavi Hernandez in recent months.
In fact, Xavi Hernandez was able to bring Barcelona not to lose in the last six matches with details of five wins and one draw.
Barcelona also brought Xavi Hernandez to win the El Clasico match with a pretty striking score, namely 4-0 a few weeks ago.
Looking at Barcelona’s recent performance, it seems that the appointment of Xavi Hernandez was the right decision, after sacking the Dutch coach, Ronald Koeman, a few months ago.
One Liverpool legend, Steven Gerrard, admitted that he was impressed with Barcelona’s performance since Xavi Hernandez took over.
Similar to Xavi, Gerrard is also a coach who entered in the middle of the competition by becoming the coach of the English Premier League mid-table team, Aston Villa.
Since replacing Dean Smith in November 2021, Gerrard has been able to bring Aston Villa up to ninth in the standings with 36 points from 29 matches.
Reported from Daily Mail, Gerrard did not even hesitate to mention that Xavi Hernandez is a genius figure to play against the legend of the Spanish League club, Barcelona, in a charity match at Anfield Stadium last Saturday.
“With the appointment of Xavi, I consider that this is the best and the most insane move by Barcelona,” said Gerrard.
