MADRID, 4 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The left-back of FC Barcelona Jordi Alba acknowledged that he did not give them this Saturday to overcome “a direct rival” such as Real Betis at the moment, a defeat (0-1) at the Camp Nou that makes it clear to them the need to “improve” and takes them away from the ‘Top 4’ of LaLiga Santander.
“The first half we have played a great game is a rival who plays very well, presses up, the second we have had arrivals as well and when we were at our best they scored the goal for us. We have to improve a lot, they were a direct rival today and we could not “, he said in statements to Movistar Plus.
Alba was quick to point out Wednesday’s match against Bayern, where the future is at stake in the Champions League. “Now we have a very important game in the Champions League and hopefully we can take it forward. We must always improve, we have to have more patience with the ball, especially in their field,” he said.
“Good things are being seen but it is clear that we have to improve. Barcelona is always obliged to win, more in their field, we are not doing it. I am convinced that we are going to turn it around, we are working well, taking on new concepts It is a step backwards but the only thing left to do is work and try to improve in each training session, “he concluded.
