BARCELONA (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “Surprised by Xabi Alonso’s dismissal? I can say I have a good relationship with Xabi. We met in Leverkusen and have stayed in touch. This is football, and I wish him the best: I’m sure he’ll soon find a great project for himself and his staff. He’s a great coach and has a great future.” Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expressed his solidarity with his colleague, who was fired by Real Madrid on Monday, the day after their defeat to the Blaugrana in the Spanish Super Cup final.
The German coach, for his part, can enjoy Laporta’s full confidence, even though, he warns, “in the end, you never know what will happen. Things change, and it can happen here too. Football depends on winning, and at big clubs even more so. But the feeling I’ve had since my arrival has been very clear: that here we all work together. Now we feel like a family, as the president said. Not just the players, but also the staff, the club, the managers, Deco, the parents, the brothers and sisters: we are a big family, and I place enormous value on what we have built.”
