Xavi has been talking about the decision to play Eric Garcia in midfield for Barcelona and says it was all Jordi Cruyff’s idea.
Garcia started in midfield against Elche after Xavi admitted ahead of the game it was something he’d been thinking about for a while and had trialled in training.
Xavi was asked about Eric again after the 4-0 win and feels he did a great job on Saturday.
“It was Jordi Cruyff’s idea, he has been saying it since last season, he thinks he has the attributes to play there,” he said.
