“We didn’t win a point, we lost two”

The coach of FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernandezwas very clear and convinced of the role of his team this Sunday in Weather in Cornellà: “Watching the game, it was to win it well, we had very good chances, we dominated, we played most of it in the Espanyol field and in the end it seems that you won a point for scoring in 96′ but I think we lost two”.

The Egarense coach lamented that “we were able to make it 0-2 on several occasions and when we were at our best, his goals came. As well as against Athletic we were very effective, before the Spanish we weren’t.”

Xavi He pointed out that “we must be self-critical and improve. We concede too much and opponents are effective when they arrive. The first goal is in a ball out when we don’t need to risk and in the second they beat us back when it is something that is worked on. But football is a sport of mistakes and we have to minimize them”.

On the paper with which he entered Nico Gonzalez to the field and that he delivered to Busquets, Xavi He said that “in the end it was a change of system and with the noise of the public we did not hear each other with the opposite band, sometimes even with BusQuets, who often does not listen to me. I chose to play a little role with the system change, with a 3-4-3 we risk a lot, because in a counterattack they can catch you, but it has worked out well for us”.

of the minutes of Dembele, who reappeared yesterday after the soap opera of the winter market, commented that “I already said that he is one more and he can help us. He started well, played very good minutes and is one more for the cause and for the goals of the season”.

Another of the proper names to which he referred Xavi went to the Luke de Jong, scorer of the tying goal. “It’s no coincidence, he’s a professional. He is an example. I have put it many times as an example in front of the template. He is a goalscorer and he is for that”.

of the injury of Araujo he reassured, assuring that “it seems that they are just annoyances. She was already in pain during the week and made an effort to play”.
