Xavi Hernandez has discussed all the news around FC Barcelona. The rivalry in San Mamés against Athletic, the case of Negreira, the next Clásico, the return of Lewandowski.
1
About the Athletic Club
“Their results are not consistent with their game. It is a very intense team, more in their field. They win many duels, they will be aggressive. It is one of the exits we have left between now and the end of the season”

Key, reach the Bernabéu with 9 points
“We focus on tomorrow’s game. It is key to maintain the 9-point distance to Madrid. It is a final, like all the rest”

In the presence of Lewandowski
“He always wants to play. It’s differential and he’s changed the mentality of the team. It’s been very good for us that he came. It’s a vital high. And even more so in games like this, which will push us up top. It’s Important have Robert and he’s fine”

The return of Pedri and Dembélé
“Pedri and Dembélé are working with the retrainers but they will mark their sensations a little. We will see how they can get to the next games”

In Bilbao without a handbrake
“Fortunately or unfortunately there is a final tomorrow. We will not play with the handbrake on. If something falls, we will see. We have to think about tomorrow’s game. It is as important or even more important than the clásico”

six gold points
“A lot is happening in the league in San Mamés and in the Clásico. There are six transcendental points. The moment of truth has arrived, where the titles are on the line and you have to show your face. You have to win. Tomorrow we have a surprising war”

Being the Ferguson of Barça
“Hopefully. This is my house. I thank the president for words. He always tells me that he is happy with the work we do. He is a person who faces and is honest and honest. I hope it happens, I want to continue here for many years, but we depend on the results”

Case of Negreira
“Another issue for the president. He said we’re here for football and calm down. And that’s what I’m doing. In the locker room we talk about football and this is my concern.”

Hostile reception from San Mamés
“This is a football game where we are focused on what Athletic is doing. We have handled all the issues to compete tomorrow. Winning or losing the game depends on what happens on the field, which is what we must occupy ourselves.”

Madrid’s reaction to the Negreira case
“I don’t know what they are looking for… I have enough with my players, the game, etc. It’s not going to destabilize us. If that’s what they do with Vinicius, Modric, Courtois”
