According to Sport, Xavi’s former teammate Saviola recently expressed his support for Xavi to return to Barcelona one day, and he believes that comparing Yamal to Messi is not beneficial for the latter’s development.
He said: “We cannot forget everything Xavi has done for Barcelona. I had the chance to chat with him as a friend, and we discussed his difficulties here. His work was excellent. When you don’t win trophies, it feels like you’ve accomplished nothing. The kids who came through here were all nurtured by Xavi. Hopefully, he can find happiness with another team. I hope he can return to Barcelona one day and do things right, which is also his wish.”
Subsequently, Saviola also talked about Yamal, saying: “When Yamal was 15 years old, we saw his extraordinary talent. Just watching him, you knew he was special. There are no shortage of talented players here, but he still humbly accepts advice and continues to learn… This is the result of many things accumulating. He is not only an excellent footballer but also someone with every possibility. Comparing him to Messi is inappropriate. I hope he can follow in Messi’s footsteps; he still has a lot to do.”
