Xavi: “Alves has shown us everything he can give us as of January”

Xavi Hernandez He was “very satisfied” with the match of his pupils, despite the fact that in the end he lost in the penalty shootout against Boca. “The result was the least of it, many positive things have been seen,” he stressed.

With what feelings do you leave after the game?

The result is the least. Positive things, Alves debut, I have seen young players, some of them I have changed their position to see how they developed. Good test for everyone. The players have shown their faces. The defeat will not affect us, it is the least.

Happy with Alves?

It was very good, I hadn’t played for a long time. We have seen everything he can bring us: intensity, work, the last pass and making a difference.

And of the young?

Some like Dest and Demir I have changed their position. Dest has been pretty good. I am happy with how everyone has played, both those of the first team and those of the subsidiary. Keep in mind that the journey was heavy and long, but everyone has shown their face.
