Xavi Hernandez Appeared happy and proud in the press room after the final, because of winning his first title as coach of Barça and the way in which they achieved it: “I am very satisfied and very happy, you know that I care a lot about how . When we win and we don’t play well, I don’t leave very satisfied. Today our plan was perfect”.
The coach first congratulated his players, as he explained that “I am happy for the players, they have received a lot of criticism, many of it unfair, today they released themselves and this gives us a lot of confidence.” He recalled that “we are coming from a complex stage, the march of Leo It was very important and very hard to digest, I hope this is the first title of many”.
Xavi He is clear that “this victory will give us confidence, the players see that what you have proposed is already going perfectly. That makes the players believe in what we are doing with the staff. But you don’t have to stop here, you have to keep working”. Regarding the doubts that have developed in recent months, he said that “I see things from the inside and for that reason it is positive.”
He was asked about her MVP of the party, the youth Gavi: “We are all moved when you see him compete, he has a soul and a character that infects the whole team. It appears from him, he is gorgeous and he is 18 years old. I never tire of praising him, don’t stop, this boy has no roof ”.
Later he repeated that “I prefer how more than the title. Although some people say no, I care a lot about how. Outside there will always be noise, but inside there was a lot of calm”, in a clear allusion to the criticism after the victory at the Metropolitan by those who accused him as a result.
Xavi remembered too Joan Laporta and assured that “I have a friendly relationship with the president, I am very happy for him, he has invested very strongly in this project. I’m happy for him and the Board.”
Regarding the youth of a large part of the squad, he commented that “we have a very good generation, the hunger for titles is seen, we have not won anything for almost two years. But it continues, on Thursday we go to Ceuta , on Sunday Getafe is waiting, we can’t stop now”. He analyzed the game and pointed out that “we played well, the four midfielders understood it very well, the pressure, a very high line of defense, we defended well… Everything we proposed was perfect”. He later admitted that “the match was definitely not perfect, I will see it again and again. But the 11 starters are at an extraordinary level, at a very high level”.
About goals Xavi He commented that “soccer is very fast these days. At times you have to play directly, and more than having Lewandowski. The action of the first goal was very fast, with the first touch, we did that, saw the videos ”. And he added that “we have to continue to mature, insist on our model, now everything has gone well, but there will be difficult days. I remember the day against Bayern, we lost at home and we were with the fans. Now we have returned the joy to them, but we must not forget that we are a team under reconstruction”.
And finally he commented that “this victory gives peace of mind to the team, the environment, the Board and above all the players. They showed that if they can do it against the European and League champions, they can do it against anyone”.
