Gerard Piqué He applauded “the attitude and commitment of the team”, but assumed that “we can play better”, underlining that “we urgently need to add three at a time”.
How is this tie explained?
A shame We played well and competed well on a very difficult field. We knew they were strong on strategy plays and set pieces. In the end in a rejection they made us 2-2, a shame because we already saw victory very close. We leave with a point and not happy with the result. You have to win three at a time from now on.
Is it possible to do a reset in the middle of the season?
It is evident that it is better at the beginning of the season. Now it is more complicated. But it is clear that with the premature elimination of the Champions League we are starting a new era where the highest priority is to add three at a time in LaLiga so as not to fall from the top positions. Now we are, but we cannot lower ourselves anymore. We have to cut back.
Is the realistic objective to fight for LaLiga or to enter the top four?
I believe that the objective now has to be in the short term, to think about the next game. In the long term it has already been seen that there is talent and youth in this team. You have to get results, win, win and win. We are in a critical situation and it is urgent to start winning games. Work and be together.
Can’t this team give more of itself?
Little by little we are going to more. Today we have competed. It is clear that we can play much better, but what cannot be lacking is attitude and work. And today we have shown that nobody beats us at that. The results are a matter of time, but the problem is that we do not have it. Next Saturday we have a new final.
