Barcelona’s manager, Xavi, has recently expressed his admiration for Real Sociedad’s midfielder Martin Zubimendi and forward Takefusa Kubo, highlighting their skills and the impact of their coach, Imanol Alguacil. In his statement, Xavi acknowledged the strengths of these players and the leadership of their coach, which contribute significantly to the team’s performance.
“Yes, I like Zubimendi as I already said last year but it’s not only him… Take Kubo is also excellent, and they have a top coach like Imanol. Credits to Real Sociedad,” Xavi remarked.
This praise from the Barcelona coach comes amidst his own efforts to strengthen his team by focusing on young talents, as evidenced by the recent contract renewal for youth player Pau Cubarsí. Xavi’s strategy appears to be centered around building a robust team with a mix of experienced and emerging players.
Xavi’s comments also reflect his broader management philosophy, which involves recognizing and appreciating talent across the league. This approach not only fosters respect among teams and players but also highlights the competitive nature of the league where coaching and player development are key to success.
