Xavi Hernandez It was opened at a press conference. The Barça coach was very tough and made a realistic and sincere evaluation of his team after the victory against Almería (3-2). “The first half was unacceptable. We have to have soul. As a coach I don’t accept it. Either we run like animals or it doesn’t reach us. We are not the Barça of 2010, which gave us of titles is a team with a soul, that wins rivalries, aggressive, that will be under high pressure”. The Barça coach admitted that this was the message he gave in the locker room during the break in the most difficult conversation, he said, since he became a coach. “The second time you do it and you win. The first time we won’t give everything and people get nervous, they whistle. “Either we give up our skin, we give up our lives or we won’t win anything. “If it doesn’t come to us through football, it must come to us through the soul.”
Later, throughout the press conference, the Terrassa coach continued about that first argument. “I’m worried about my team. It’s unacceptable, I can’t accept it as a coach. If I don’t care about the result… I want a team with soul, that gives its all. We don’t have the quality of Barça 2010. Forget it. Nor individual capacity. We have the soul, the aggressiveness… Last year we recovered 200 balls in the opposite field, this year we didn’t. “If we don’t give it our all, it won’t get to us.”
About Barça in 2010, when he was a footballer and Guardiola coach of barcelona, Xavi He insisted: “We are not the best Barça in history, we have to work and give our all on the field. There are no secrets. We won the league and the Super Cup on a collective level, not because of individual quality,” he said . In this sense, he saw a team without hunger despite the fact that most of the players had only won one League. “Very serious, yes, but it won’t happen again, it’s my responsibility.”
The first part of Barcelona This also angered a section of the public, who even whistled at the team. “I understand the whistles, it’s normal. I don’t like them and I never whistle in my life because I understand the footballer, but I also understand the people. You can play well, regulate, lose 3-0… But you have to give your soul, out of respect for the club and this shield. And in the first half it wasn’t like that.” It is because of that Xavirecalled that “those who give their all will play, as has happened since the first day,” although he did not want to point anyone out.
Finally, the Barcelona coach highlighted Sergi Roberto, author of two goals. “He is a captain in capital letters, a guarantee wherever he plays. This is an example”
