Xavi happy with Guardiola

Xavi has heaped praise on Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola and believes that his enthusiasm and attention to detail are behind the team’s superlative form this season.

“Guardiola transmits his passion and is so enthusiastic. If he believes something is white and you think it is black, you will end up believing that it is white,” he told. “He is a very intelligent person and I think that that is his secret. It is how he convinces and motivates you and treats the best players in the team. I am passionate about him, he has always been my reference. He always says that ‘if you think about the club first then you will not make any mistakes”.
