Barcelona legend, Ronaldinho, has given his verdict on manager, Xavi Hernรกndez, at Camp Nou.
Ronaldinho said Xavi has returned hope back to Barcelona since he returned to the club as manager a few months ago.
Barcelona slipped to ninth in the LaLiga table after a poor start under Ronald Koeman, who was sacked last October, with Xavi drafted in the following month as his replacement.
However, Barcelonaโs fortunes have quickly improved under Xavi as the Spaniard has gradually lifted the Catalan club back up into the Champions League places.
โWe are excited that Barca plays well again and I think anything is possible,โ Ronaldinho told Mundo Deportivo.
โI hope so and as a fan Iโm hoping that things go well and I think there can be [a comeback].โ
โXavi has returned and has brought us hope,โ the Brazilian added. โAs my friend and ex-team-mate, this excites people and me too.
โWhen he played, he already had a vision of the game as a coach.
โHe guided the game and I see it very well [in his coaching] too because he makes us want to watch Barca games again.โ
