Interviewed by Mundo Deportivo, Xavi Pascual spoke about the rumors linking him to a return to Barcelona and about his future. In fact, Pascual has officially left Zenit St. Petersburg and would like to return to the EuroLeague.<\/p>\n
These were his statements to Mundo Deportivo regarding the alleged contacts or progress toward a possible return to Catalonia: “A lot has been said, and much of it simply isn’t true. I have a great relationship with the president Joan Laporta, and if he ever thinks I can help, I know he’ll call me directly and it won’t be difficult. People talk a lot. But this situation never came up because Barca never really had the interest to bring me back. When Barca wants something, they go and get it.”<\/p>\n
These, instead, are his words about his future, in which there is a clear intention to return to the EuroLeague: “Without a doubt, that’s the plan (to return to the EuroLeague). I’m not considering any other options right now. I’m waiting for something that truly excites me. Coaching is different from playing: a player can accept a deal they’re not fully convinced about, but I can’t. I need to believe in the project. What I know for sure is that I won’t begin the EuroLeague season as a head coach. And I’m willing to sit out the year if nothing exciting comes along. But if the right opportunity shows up, I’ll take it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
