Xavi: “It will be difficult for me to sleep … but this is the way”

Xavi I speak in Movistar LaLiga at the end of the match against him Sevilla.

How does it go?

We deserved to win, we had them with one less them, but also eleven against eleven. We have played what we want. The team is growing. We are good in pressure after loss, in high pressure, but we go with a draw. They also compete well. We deserved the victory. I have a bittersweet feeling because the feeling of the team is good.

The but is that there is a lack of auction …

We have had no fortune. Ousmane hit the post, Gavi shot wide … They scored us in a strategy … But the team is competing and I’m proud. Not because of the draw but this is the way.

Dembélé has been seen active

It’s what we want from him, from Ansu, from Abde. They are giving us a lot. The pity is that he missed the goal, but he gave us a good point.

Does this result serve you?

It does not serve us. The worst is a result. The game is good, as are the sensations. But we are going to try it from next year. And to continue.

How do you explain Papu’s goal?

They got us. The brand is going away. I don’t know who it is, but we got caught. Then we have caught them too … It will be difficult for me to sleep because we should have won because we have spent half an hour with one more. They have known how to cool it down, it’s a good way to compete.

What is your assessment of the arbitration?

What do you ask me about the referee? The referee should also give a press conference. It is a difficult ballot for the referees. What am I going to say about the referee, nothing he tells me will help me.

After the game that the team has made, the fact that they did not finish winning makes it clear that the icing on the cake is missing, the goal?

We need more maturity in terms of what the game requires. We already warned you. Sometimes we try to face when it doesn’t require that, when we have to change the game’s orientation and go to the other side.
