Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Barcelona legend, Ronaldinho, has given his verdict on manager, Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez, at Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

Ronaldinho said Xavi has returned hope back to Barcelona since he returned to the club as manager a few months ago.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

However, Barcelona\u2019s fortunes have quickly improved under Xavi as the Spaniard has gradually lifted the Catalan club back up into the Champions League places.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited that Barca plays well again and I think anything is possible,\u201d Ronaldinho told Mundo Deportivo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope so and as a fan I\u2019m hoping that things go well and I think there can be [a comeback].\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cXavi has returned and has brought us hope,\u201d the Brazilian added. \u201cAs my friend and ex-team-mate, this excites people and me too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he played, he already had a vision of the game as a coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe guided the game and I see it very well [in his coaching] too because he makes us want to watch Barca games again.\u201d<\/p>\n
