Barcelona midfielder Casado: Xavi didn't provide me with opportunities, says Carlos Volcano

He confided in 3cat, saying, "Although I didn't have as many opportunities as others, it actually made me mentally stronger."

"Sometimes I saw that I could play, but I didn't have the opportunity.

"Despite this, I am very grateful to Xavi. He was the coach who made me debut with the first team, so I will always be grateful to him."

Casado added:  "I have taken a slightly longer road, but I think that this has helped me to be where I am now and has given me experience to know which stadiums are more complicated."
