Xavi Criticizes Barcelona’s Lack of Soul Despite Victory

Can a victory make you forget everything? Probably not. Ask for example Xavi, who became angry despite Barça’s victory on Wednesday against Almeria (3-2). It must be said that his team was not really reassuring, especially after two defeats and a draw.

If Barça (38 pts) temporarily returned to four points behind Real Madrid (2nd) and six behind Girona, the leader, the Catalans technician deplored an “attitude” that was not really “acceptable” according to him.

“The first period was unacceptable,” he said. “The pressure and the aggressiveness were not acceptable. Either we run like animals or it doesn’t come to us. We are not the Barça of 2010 . Last year we were aggressive and we had soul. We can’t not give our all. Either we give our all or we won’t win anything. We have to wake up. We can’t point out finger a player. It’s a general problem. The intensity of the first half and the second have nothing to do with each other.”

For Xavi, who assures “not to be angry”, his team simply lacks “soul”. Whistles from the audience? “I understand people,” he replied. “Out of respect for the club and the badge, you always have to give your all and in the first half, that wasn’t the case. It’s my responsibility and it won’t happen again,” concludes the coach. Barca.
