Xavi Hernandez He stated that he was satisfied with the image that Barça offered in the close victory against Sevilla (1-0) and the improvement experienced compared to the recent matches against Celta (3-2 victory) and Mallorca (2-2) . He only regretted the lack of aim.
“I think we ended up suffering too much, we generated enough chances to not suffer so much, the first goal had to come earlier, but they are streaks. We came from two 5-0 defeats and in the last games it has cost us a little more, but it is normal because Sevilla is a great team,” considered the coach of the Barçaremembering that “in Mallorca The game was not as negative as against Celta, but we lacked effectiveness and we had mistakes in defense. Today the sensations have already been very good.”
The victory came with an own goal from Sergio Ramoswhom Xavi praised after many being rivals on the pitch and sharing the Spanish national team shirt: “These are life circumstances, the merit of Sergio is to keep playing and I also think he played a good game. He is a great player who has had bad luck in that play, but he is still at the first level.”
Another proper name, but in a positive way, was Fermin Lopezprotagonist of a great performance since he came on for the injured Raphinha in the first part. “Fermin He seems like a great player to me, he dominates both legs, he doesn’t lose balls, he has the conditions to play for Barça for many years as an interior player. I liked him a lot in the preseason and you just have to believe it, knowing that he can play like that every day. We tell him to dare and he does it, he works very well and I am very happy for him,” he praised him.
He also praised Gavi: “That thing about me not going to play this year are stories that you have generated, that has not come out of my mouth, it is essential, and it is not only the soul because it also has a lot of football to give assists and score goals.”
Barça is the provisional leader waiting for what happens this Saturday in Girona-Madrid, a match that Xavi will not see: “Tomorrow I have a birthday party and I will not see him, I will be attentive, of course, but without seeing him. May the best win, I am happy with our victory.”
From the injury of Raphinha He pointed out that “let’s see if we have him recovered after the break, but that’s what the rotations are for that are criticized when you don’t win, to avoid injuries like today’s.” In that sense he revealed that “Araujo He had accumulated many minutes since his return and today he had to rest.
