Barca's Xavi: "I'll be the first to help bring Messi back"

Barcelona and the rest of the top clubs are back to normal after the international break, so the press conferences are back. Xavi Hernandez appeared before the media ahead of the league clash against Elche at the Martinez Valero.
"It's not the time to talk about Leo's return. I talk to him a lot because he is my friend. We are dealing with the issue, but there is a world between now and then, I hope we see him at home. I'm the first one who would be happy to see the best player in history return. But now is not the time to talk about signings or Leo. We are two months away from being able to win two titles," he said of Messi's hypothetical return.
The Catalan coach also spoke about the controversial statements made by Ansu Fati's father: "It has happened all my life. It's normal. I'm the first one to make mistakes in the changes. You ask for forgiveness. What matters to me is how Ansu is and he's fine. He will be important in the games that are left", he added and, as before, spoke about the possible return of Messi: "It doesn't depend on me. It depends on what he does. If he wants to come back, we'll talk. But we haven't spoken much. If he wants to come back, we'll listen to him".
"I will be the first to help bring him back. I haven't talked about next year. We are focused on winning titles. You are specialists in changing the subject and I don't understand why people are talking about transfers. We are one step away from winning titles and now we are talking about transfers. Elche and the Copa del Rey, that's what's important. Let's listen to fate if it is so wise. Let's see what will Messi wants. In the post-Messi era, we're close to two titles. That's success," he concluded.
