MADRID, 30 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The coach of Deportivo Alavés, Javier Calleja, positively valued the point achieved against FC Barcelona (1-1) at the Camp Nou and assured, when asked about the future of the culé bench, that “Xavi Hernándes is the ideal coach” for the Blaugranas .
“First, maximum respect for Sergi, who is who he is right now. But if Xavi came – for me – he would be the ideal coach for Barcelona. He knows the club well, he already has plenty of experience in Qatar and has the philosophy of the club. If he comes I am convinced that he will do very well, “said Calleja at the post-crash press conference at Can Barça.
“Each one of us has a way of understanding football but in the end we all want to win. We have to look for the formulas to achieve it and we are in this. We have a good and competitive squad, we have better margin, we have to keep growing and look for the best formula so that my players get their best performance. The best of Alavés is yet to come, “said coach babazorro.
“There are processes and times, Barça has a great squad, but they have difficulties because they can’t find the result. Today they have had opportunities to have scored another goal for us, but Sivera has been very successful in specific moments. And then Barcelona is not going to stop fighting for the titles, “he added emphatically.
“Barça will find the solution to be higher and fight for the League, the Champions League and the Cup. I know that when the results do not arrive, emotionally you accuse it and the players seem worse than they are, but it is not like that”, Calleja pointed out.
In relation to the mistakes and successes of his team at the Camp Nou, the Alavés coach was clear. “We have insisted a lot on the management of the ball, we wanted to make longer attacks and have more possession. But it is difficult to go at the same speed when you attack and defend. But we will insist because it will make us a better team,” concluded Calleja, who took the opportunity to relate the Medical part. “Ximo has hurt his knee and we have to assess it. He will do tests tomorrow and Edgar ended up with an overload in the adductor, we will see how he is.”
