Messi, captain, spoke at Movistar LaLiga after 0-5 in Vitoria. He did it for the second time in three days, after the games against Osasuna and Alavés.
How does it feel after watching the game?
The truth that yes. Today saw something else, it was a difficult game to play for everything and today the team responded differently in attitude, commitment. It is a step forward for what is to come.
He said they had to change a lot of things. Is this what you want?
The main thing we did is that we did self-criticism. We realized a lot of things. We didn't have a great season. Today is a step forward in terms of attitude and commitment, which is what you always have to have. You have to leave at least with the attitude of any rival; if not more.
Is this the message a captain has to make?
It is an important moment for us but it does not make sense to wear the bracelet to know what we did. We should be much more regular as the coach said the other day, we had many moments
Benzema is missing. What could his seventh pichichi mean?
I always say that individual goals are secondary. It could be a very important brand due to its significance. I wish he had been accompanied by LaLiga
Is the atmosphere going to calm down?
We need it. Quiet, this break and, as I said the other day, clean your head. We already said what we had to say, we already made self-criticism internally. There is nothing more to talk about but to demonstrate change.
