Yaya Toure: Harvey is a good coach and he can succeed if he gets the support and time he needs

Live Bar January 3 News Bar Bar Former Bar Yaya Toure, recently in Qatar during the Arab Cup match in an interview with the "As" newspaper, talking about Xavi coaching Barca and other topics, Yaya Toure said: Xavi is a good coach, if he can get the support and time he will succeed.

Harvey returned to Barcelona to coach, do you think that was the right decision?

Yaya Toure: "First of all, I'm a staunch supporter of Barca, everyone knows that it's not easy to be a manager for Barca right now, the situation there is not good, I know the club has had financial problems recently, but I am convinced that appointing Xavi is a good option, he is a good coach. ”

Do you think Xavi can revive Barca and achieve great things?

Yaya Toure: "Xavi is my brother, he's a good guy, a real friend, and we have to remember that Barca are very, very sophisticated, and at this point maybe only Real Madrid and Manchester United can compare. For me, if Harvey gets the support and time he needs, he'll succeed, but in football there's nothing certain, Harvey's job will be tough, but he can do it well. ”

The countdown to the World Cup in Qatar has begun, do you think the country is ready?

Yaya Toure: "Yes, Qatar has very good venues and facilities like hotels, we came here to be warmly welcomed, the Qataris did a great job, this Arab Cup is an important rehearsal for the World Cup, it is going very well, there are a lot of fans in Qatar, which is good. ”

The Qatar World Cup is played between November and December, how will this be different from the past?

Yaya Toure: "For a number of reasons, the Qatar World Cup is going to be in 11-12 months, which is unusual, but I think the players will be 100% competitive by then because they're in the middle of the season. The teams don't have to travel as long distances as they did in the World Cup in Russia, it takes up to 20-25 minutes to drive in Qatar, and I think that helps them, of course they're here to play, not for a holiday. I think the Qatar World Cup will be a World Cup that will go down in history and players and fans will enjoy football again. ”
