Xavi Hernandez, technician of the Barça, the match against him ended Elche at the Camp Nou with a bitter taste. The culé coach did not hide his happiness for adding a balsamic victory, but he also regretted not having closed the victory before and having allowed the equalizer of the visitors when they had the game under control. At the conclusion of the duel, Xavi He analyzed the good performance of the team in the first half and also wanted to send a message to his players not to miss these advantages on the scoreboard.
“In the situation we are in, we have three golden points. We have had an excellent first half and until Elche’s goal we have been very good. We have been able to score many more goals and we have been superior. The defensive line has also been very good, but We lack a bit of skill. We had to be attentive to the transitions so that Elche couldn’t run and we didn’t need to when we could. They scored two goals in two or three minutes. The team had to row to win. There are things positive and they are three fantastic points for us, “he said Xavi, which delved into the analysis of the game.
“Hopefully it will be a turning point. We have complicated ourselves. They have survived because of our mistakes and that cannot be. We have to learn and have more job and responsibility. I did not imagine not winning the game, because we deserve much more. We have understood how to generate superiorities. We played very well until 2-1 “, added the culé coach, who had great words of praise for Gavi, the best of Barça before him Elche.
“His game has been spectacular. He doesn’t seem to be 17 years old. Having Gavi is a show. How he competes at 17 is spectacular. Gavi is exciting, it is priceless for a coach. But not only him, they all have a lot of personality . Nico, Araujo, Eric, Abde … It is a spectacular generation of footballers. Riqui himself when he comes out as well. I have played here when I was 18 years old and I was scared, but they ooze personality. The fans are with us and they are the future of the club, “he said Xavi, which delved into the great game of Gavi because “he is not of legal age and is competing and making a difference.”
In addition to analyzing the triumph and praising Gavi, Xavi Hernandez He also launched a message for the veterans and expressed concern about the lack of understanding of the players with the position game and model.
“When I say that young people are making a difference, it is not a message for the veterans, but it is the kids who score the goals and assists. I am delighted with everyone and this is the way to continue growing. We had lost the game model and we have to recover it. I have not been here 6 years and there are things that surprise us. It is costing us. Today we have attacked spaces at the right time, but it is a pity that we leave with this result. There is a great majority who do not understand the positional play. Since I was 11 years old, I used to automate the positional game and there are many players who do not understand it, “he said. Xavi, who acknowledged that after the draw “he was a little pissed off” and that “today we have not put more players from the subsidiary because we had to be seven players with a first team card.”
