During a recent press conference in Miami, Xabi emphasized the need for the team to quickly come together and establish their identity. He stated, "We want to be able to do that from the very beginning, from the match against Al Hilal. First, we have to recognize ourselves." This suggests that Xabi is prioritizing the team's cohesion and unity from the start.

Xabi also acknowledged that the team is still in the process of getting to know each other. He mentioned that "little by little, you're getting to know them, you're having that much-needed contact, and little by little, more players are arriving." This indicates that the team is still in the early stages of building relationships and establishing a sense of camaraderie.

Xabi expressed the need for the team to speed up their preparations due to the limited time they have before the match. He stated, "We have to speed up everything because we have very little time to get to know each other and train." Despite the challenges, Xabi remains optimistic about the team's chances, saying, "We're coming with a lot of enthusiasm, with the hope of having a good tournament and making it to the end."
