Xavi: “The club made an obvious mistake against Eintracht”

How do you face the game after the disappointment on Thursday?

I suppose that Cádiz will come to defend itself like Eintracht or Levante. They have improved a lot with Sergio. They’ve gotten points lately. It’s going to be difficult and after the defeat the other day we have to recover. There are eight finals left. Hopefully we have the fans with us and help us, that the other day we noticed.

Have they given you explanations about the German invasion?

I guess they will. I know they were looking for them. It was a mistake as a club, it’s obvious. As good a point as they have, I suppose they will explain it to us. What is clear is that it can never happen again. It conditioned us a lot.

Has the team deflated?

We have not played so well, we have to minimize losses. We had reached a high level that we have to recover to meet the objective of entering the Champions League. It is part of the process. There are moments of the season when you are not so fine. The results have to come from tomorrow.

How are they emotionally?

It was a hard stick, a blow. We are ready to compete. I hope that the public will be with the team tomorrow, we miss them. But they have always been with us.
