How to improve the inner game
Xavi: “That’s what needs to be improved. In my time as a player we also found that we played less inside and took advantage of the free space. You still have to offer yourself to receive, but eventually the Inter. system, which is 3 -5-2”.
How can you convince the players?
Xavi: “That it is a final, that I try not to feel pressure, the pressure is for me. The atmosphere, with a full Camp Nou, is to enjoy”
How to manage the game psychologically
Xavi: “If we score in minute 1, better, but we have 90 minutes. We have to know how to attack better. If we attack like in the second half in Milan, I am optimistic.”
Signed 1-0
Xavi: “No, 2-0 is better. Positions to sign, I signed 2-0”
How is the team mentally?
Xavi: “I think it is knowing the diagnosis of what happened to us, I think we lowered the intensity in the high pressure and the pressure after loss and Celta is a team that complicates you. We know the diagnosis and we have to do the second part we did in Milan.”
How is Koundé?
Xavi: “In principle, tomorrow he will be gone, so he will be able to arrive on Sunday, depending on how he feels, but I can see him well. My feeling is, he will be able to arrive on Sunday, yes”.
Optimistic Pedri, you too
Xavi: “Yes, always, I prefer the second part of Milan, the first of Celta, tomorrow we must not let our guard down at any time. There is talent, there is also a desire to take revenge for what happened in Milan”.
Public importance
Xavi: “Fundamental. The fans have understood this, the tickets are sold out, tomorrow from the first moment the Camp Nou has to be a cauldron. Whatever happens, we will give everything to keep the three points here”.
Message in the locker room and if you experience it with pressure
Xavi: “The positivity. I see everything as an opportunity, we are in an uncomfortable situation in the Champions League, but we will deal with it in the best possible way, being aggressive and the three points stay at home. I try to give them with love, but look at it as a final. It’s like a 1/16” lap
important match
Xavi: “We didn’t do our homework, but tomorrow we have a chance at home. It’s a final and we’ll give it our all”.
What are your plans tomorrow?
Xavi: “We would give many clues. We will go on the attack, but we have to try better. In the first half we did not understand the role of Raphinha and Marcos. We will change something to attack better. We have to be more aggressive . Only three points are worth to us, We have to be brave.”
An Inter that is even more defensive than Milan
Xavi: “We expect a more defensive Inter than Milan, we have to look a bit like Barça in the last 20 minutes in Milan. It’s final and we have no margin for error. With the help of the fans we hope it will be a night magic.”

more horizontal than vertical
