It seems that many are in agreements with his standing on media pressure, including close friend and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who backed up Xavi’s views when he spoke to the media on Tuesday, as per Diario AS.informationguidenigeria
“You can’t compare the pressure here in England and in Spain, in my experience. It’s a thousand times harder to coach in Spain than to do it here. This is an ideal site for coaches. Obviously, there are a lot of games and like six press conferences a week and a game every three days, but the pressure felt at Barcelona is not comparable to that of any other club.
