Barcelona Director Deco expresses confidence in Xavi Hernandez Amidst reports of discontent

Barcelona’s director Deco, has offered a public vote of confidence in manager Xavi Hernandez following recent reports of discontent.

Xavi has faced increasing pressure due to Barcelona’s inconsistent performance and a string of disappointing results.

The scrutiny is said to have intensified after reports suggested dissatisfaction from Joan Laporta and Deco regarding Xavi’s team selection in the 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

Barcelona’s draw in the match made them lose a crucial ground in the La Liga title race.

However, some relief came for Xavi with a 2-1 victory over Porto in Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League clash.

After the Porto match, Deco addressed the rumors, stating, “At Barcelona, there are always rumours. If we renewed Xavi, it’s because we trust him.”

Barcelona recently extended Xavi’s contract, expressing their confidence in the club’s legend and player-turned-manager.
