Xavi’s self-critical version ahead of the clash against Betis at the Camp Nou, another chance to bring an almost-convicted League even closer to the Barça showcases, but for which Barça are struggling to take the last bite. “If we take the last 20 games the global analysis is very good, if we analyze the last four it is logically worse. I already said that Rayo’s game was the worst of the season, nothing went well and this has to change now, we have to react and tomorrow is a key game to do it because Pellegrini is a coach who wants the ball and treats it well » , explained the Culé coach, who wanted to turn the page on the stumbling block in Vallecas with a good performance against a demanding rival. “You have to be self-critical and it may be that the fact that Madrid lost the day before brought some relaxation. It happened to us in Almeria and they are mistakes that need to be corrected, because nothing has been won yet.” recognized afterwards. Xavi reinstates Dembélé and Christensen for the appointment and sees with satisfaction how the infirmary is practically empty for the first time in many weeks. “Of course I missed Dembélé, every player has different things and he is our most differential footballer one against one, but now I also miss Sergi Roberto and before that Andreas (Christensen), Pedri and Frenkie (De Jong)”, he pointed out, satisfied with its extensive list of options. The Barça coach is left with the positives of a campaign that, barring a catastrophe, will end with two trophies to his name and two very different faces in domestic and European competitions. “I’m having a good time in this league, we’re doing well and although there are days when things don’t work out, it’s a very good chance, home and eleven points, with the fans excited to win the league.”, he judged, motivated by the possibility of taking another step towards the alirón. And it is that despite the latest setbacks, with five points from the last twelve on the line, Xavi is proud of his good records in the League, which bring him closer to the regularity championship. “I have said it many times: the most difficult club in the world is Barcelona. I said it in my presentation, it’s not worth winning 1-0 and we’ve won 1-0 many times. You have to convince, but who, I think we have a good campaign, we won the Super Cup and if we win the League it will be a great season, “he explained the demands of the environment, dissatisfied despite the great figures from Barça in the Liga Finally, the Catalan coach did not step on a puddle regarding the possible return of Leo Messi to Camp Nou, a possibility that draws the attention of the culinary environment even more than the purely competitive one. nothing about Leo’s problem and it’s also too early to talk about it, now we’re focused on winning the League,” he concluded, starring the comic moment of the day, when the question related to the possible return from the Argentinian star with Bruce Springsteen’s concert in Monjtuic to the surprise of Xavi himself.
