Xavi: “Too much importance given to anger”

After a close victory over Almeria, Xavi He described the first half of the Barça team as “unacceptable” and suggested that the half-time battle had an impact. After the Christmas break, the coach tried to lighten the matter, assuring the preview of the match The Palms which saw the team plugged in, eager to compete and win titles.

For Xavi, the critical message after the 3-2 against the Andalusian team penetrated the locker room. “The footballers are aligned with the staff, they understand it. And hopefully from now on the face of Barça will be seen like the second half against Almería”, trying to fix the matter from the beginning. “I have to talk to them in a clear and emphatic way.”

For the coach of Barça, “we gave too much importance to the match against Almería,” he said when specifically asked about Lewandowski, one of the aforementioned. “It’s not a particular footballer, it’s the whole team. If we lose the intensity (of the match), it won’t work for us.” Xavi He assured that he always tries to keep up with the footballer. “I don’t like sending messages through the press.”

Exactly, about the Polish striker, Xavi He wanted to make it clear that “the group is more than individuality, they know it, otherwise we will not be well.” He also maintained that the current squad is built to win titles. “Yes, I believe it with total sincerity. Absolutely yes. Convinced. I see how they train, what they are capable of,” he stressed.

And he tried to fight it. “The day of Girona We lost 2-4 but our game was very good in terms of play. On the day of Real Sociedad we won but the game was not good. Many times the result is deceptive. And we need to get closer to the game Madrid, but 90 minutes. In Girona, but be more effective. This is the main goal, and to improve in areas.” This is his decalogue. His final analysis is to admit that there is a lack of solidity in defense and effectiveness in areas.
