00:01After the three seasons being the last press conference, the last game.

00:07Thankful for the fans. Again that we had the last farewell to the players as well.

00:12So that's it, that's it.

00:21Xavi is the first.

00:24I wish all the luck of the world, because I think he's a coach that has the characteristics to train this club, this team, and to enjoy it.

00:37The impact that Leverkusen has done has been unbelievable.

00:41I think all the managers that have had the opportunity and the pleasure to hug him as a player always will realize that we'll be a manager.

00:50And, you know, going to Germany and fight face to face against Munich, that's always so difficult.

00:56Xavi Alonso is of course an enormous loss for the Bundesliga, if he has lost him.

01:01He also managed to play with him for two years.

01:04He is a super type of character.

01:07He has shown as a trainer what he is able to do.

01:13All of us have seen the great work that he is doing.

01:18He has done it previously in other teams.

01:21At the end, it's a process.

01:23And I'm glad to see him that he can have those very positive moments.

01:32I think we're losing here a personality, a top player, a top trainer who has worked here.

01:38I've also played here.

01:39He's not a champion except him.

01:41And that's why I want to thank him.

01:43I think, first of all, I don't want to give advice because everyone has their idea of football.

01:49I'm going to give advice to the people who work, the people who work hard, and I wish everything

01:56best.
