Barcelona coach Xavi has high hopes for Spain at the World Cup.
Xavi will be in Qatar between November 25 and 30 and he believes in Spain and Luis Enrique.
“I have hope,” he said on Monday. “Luis Enrique has built a good group and is a great coach. He is the ideal coach because of his personality, you have to believe in the team. I am very optimistic about Spain.
“They will play with personality, pressing high, having possession, with verticality. They have a perfect mix of youngsters and veterans like Busquets, Alba and Koke. It’s not an easy group and the first game will be important for the future of the competition. Winning it well will mean a lot.”
Xavi added: “[Lionel] Messi looks very strong. We are seeing the best Messi again and he is going to make a difference. [Argentina coach] Scaloni has done very well. I see them in the semis or in the final and also Brazil. For me, Leo is the best in history, comparable to Maradona, Cruyff, Pelé, Di Stéfano, the best in each era. For me, he is the best, regardless of whether he wins the World Cup or not.”
