FC arcelona veteran midfield general Xavi Hernandez said that he is not sure to end his career with the club.
Although that may shock Barca fans at first reading, it is
not a massive surprise given that Xavi will celebrate his 34th birthday at the
end of the month and has a contract until the end of June 2016, by which time
he will be 36 years old. Xavi made his first team debut for Barca at just 18 years, and hispassing ability has developed into an artform such that he more than anyone,
can be seen as the architect of the football that made Barcelona
the top club in Europe and has made Spain both World and European
Champions.
In an interview with 'Panenka' magazine in Spain, Xavi admitted
that if he is going to continue playing past 36, he may need to do so at a
different club. "It will be difficult to finish my career here. I don't
know if I am going to end it at Barcelona,
although I would like to. I don't know what is going to happen," he said.
The good news is that after struggling with physical
problems in the later stages of last season, Xavi believes he has recovered his
physical shape.
"I feel even better than in recent seasons," he
insisted, adding that although he doesn't like to be rested for any games, he
sees the need to sit matches out now and then.
