Barcelona coach Xavi hits back: Better to be a gardener than anything else!

Barcelona coach Xavi says he'll continue complaining about playing pitches.

Xavi was questioned after he slammed Getafe's pitch for last week's 0-0 draw, while also stating he was unhappy playing in the hot sun.

For tomorrow's clash at Rayo Vallecano, Xavi said: "It makes me laugh. The thing about the gardener is from many years ago. Better to be a gardener than anything else. I take it as a joke.

"In a few years we will think about things like when there was no effective time, the tall or flooded grass.

"I will not stop until football is fairer for everyone."

Regarding the state of the pitch at the Estadio de Vallecas and the time of the game, he said, "I hope it is in the regulatory measure and playing at 10:00 p.m., it will favour us."
