Xavi HernandezBarcelona coach, appeared at a press conference on the eve of the game that his team will play this Sunday against Osasuna.
Osasuna: “He can adapt to different systems, with a defense of four or five. He has a lot of resources. They are intense, very aggressive, they come from beating Villarreal, Arrasate is an extraordinary coach… It will be difficult”.
The Galatasaray and the Classic: “We will have to decide due to inconvenience, sanctions. It does not condition the approach.”
Two warned center-backs, Araujo and Eric García, before the Clásico: “I choose the central defenders based on their profile and the rival. It depends on the circumstances. Now we have a choice, with four central defenders that guarantee us”.
Missed chances against Galatasaray: “We needed to attack better, divide the centrals better, that the nine to receive did not drop so much. Tactical circumstances that we are going to rectify. We were not fine, especially in the first half. We have to be self-critical”.
Madrid-PSG: “I only sent encouragement to Messi. When everything was going in the direction of PSG, Madrid turned the scoreboard around with faith and desire in 20 minutes. When you lower the intensity in the Champions League, the rival runs over you”.
Accounts to play before Madrid: “I don’t do those accounts. Mine are tomorrow. Two points have already escaped us in El Sadar. Not even Galatasaray is in my head.”
Aubameyang: “He had many games. It is very important for us.”
