Xavi Hernandez lived for six consecutive years in Qatar, where he was a player and coach for Al Sadd club, before returning to Barcelona in November 2021, so he has no intention of missing out on the opportunity to experience the World Cup being held there live.
The Blaugrana coach will take advantage of the vacation imposed by the World Cup, and will travel to Doha next Friday and watch between three and four matches from the stands. The truth is, he’s going to have a tight schedule.
The manager will not travel alone. He will be accompanied by several of his aides, including his brother and closest collaborator on the podium, Oscar Hernandez.
Xavi will be present in the field of the match that Spain will play against Germany, as Luis Enrique recruited as many as eight players from the team he manages in Barcelona at Al-Khor Stadium next Sunday, November 27.
He will also attend the Qatar-Netherlands match with De Jong and Memphis Depay on Tuesday 29 at Al Bayt Stadium. On the other hand, the intention is also to enjoy two matches for the national teams of Brazil and Argentina.
The Argentine national team faces Mexico on Saturday 26, the day before Xavi’s arrival in Doha, so it is likely that the match chosen will be Poland and Argentina on Wednesday, November 30, in the presence of Lewandowski and Leo Messi.
Brazil-Switzerland on Monday 28 or Cameroon-Brazil on Friday December 2 are the two options to see Ravenha live.
In any case, the Barcelona team plans to return to training, with very few players due to the fact that there are many of them in the World Cup, on Monday, December 5th.
