Xavi has assured that the points of difference with the Girona and Real Madrid son traceable. The coach has insisted that the problem is that they have not been forceful in the areas and, in addition, he has made it clear that they are looking for a midfielder with the profile of Gavi for January. He has also explained that they have high hopes for Victor Roque. Finally, he applauded the decision of the RFEF and LaLiga to make public the images and audio of the conversations between the field referee and the WAS.
Almeria
“Very important game for us after three games without winning. We need the victory. Three points and continue believing. There is still a league, we have mathematical options to win. It has become difficult but we have to go step by step and tomorrow is one step. We play at home, we need the fans and to play that complete game that we are missing until now.”
Midfielder for January
“We are always looking to strengthen the squad. With Gavi gone, we still need a profile like that, but it is difficult to find a Gavi on the market and we also have the issue of fair play. “We are working with Deco and the president to strengthen the team.”

Xavi
Victor Roque
“We cannot put pressure on Vitor, it would be like putting it on Lamine. All the players have to take a step forward. They are marking the areas for us. The difference in LaLiga is due to our mistakes, the lack of forcefulness in the areas, we lack effectiveness above all”.
Champions
“We played against the current Italian champion. Last year they managed to win the League. They are in a situation similar to ours. The coach from last year is not there and we will see how each team is in two months. It is a difficult tie but Our goal is to pass.”
It is very positive that people see what is happening, what the referees interpret
Xavi
Public conversations between VAR and referees
“Fantastic, it is a step forward in football. It is very positive that people see what is happening, what they interpret… any help to the referees is positive. Great news for football. I am happy.”
Lewandowski
“It is no exception to the lack of effectiveness. But not only the forwards. We also fail in defense. Everyone fails. We have to minimize the errors, improve… In the game we have improved but the lack of forcefulness marks us.”
Girona is a direct rival to win the League
Xavi
Girona
“I already said that it was a direct rival and that they were going to fight to win LaLiga. A proposal very similar to ours. It is a direct rival to win the League, for sure.”
Lack of continuity in matches
“With more mentality and, when we suffer, knowing how to defend well. Last year, in many specific moments, we defended very well. This year we are having a hard time. The forcefulness in both areas is marking us and that is what we have to improve” .
Superleague? I’m waiting
Xavi
Super League
“Let’s see, expectantly. Let’s see what they decide. We are a team with the club.”
Victor Roque
“If everything goes well, he will join after the holidays. We are already in contact with him. Let him be well, now let him disconnect.”
Come back LaLiga
“Yes, I see it as recoverable but we cannot fail. What takes its toll on us are our mistakes. You are losing points… we have to finish the first round in a positive way and do a second, better one. Girona and Real Madrid do not fail. There is have to go step by step.”
Victor Roque
“If the plane doesn’t leave… maybe it won’t come either and stay in Brazil. You’ve put the most negative scenario. Let him come, let him adapt, let him be… he’s a very good signing and I have so many positive things in the head. It gives me hope. It can give us work, goals, sacrifice, it goes to space… let it adapt as quickly as possible.”
Referees
“I am very happy that this rule is carried out. If we humanize the referees and they also explain themselves, fantastic.”
We can connect to LaLiga, we will have our moment
Xavi
Lack of optimism
“We understand it. We are better in the Champions League than last year, not in the league. We are going to compete, to fight for everything… We can connect to LaLiga, we will have our moment.”
Bench wear
“I’m with myself, with the staff, I believe a lot in what I do. I’m stubborn and positive. I have a hard time when things don’t go well or we play badly. But I’m fine, positive, with enthusiasm, I think we can have a good season. Now “I have said many times that it is not grateful to be Barcelona coach, I already experienced it as a player but now the sticks are more direct.”
Oriol Romeu
“Calm, calm, he is a very strong player. He will be prepared, he will have minutes and opportunities again. I have no doubt.”
Conceding goals
“Our errors in concentration, forcefulness… situations that last year we had very controlled and now we don’t.”
De Jong out
“Casadó, Oriol, Fermín, Sergi Roberto… It’s a sensitive loss but there are people”.
Raphinha
“I would highlight his heart, he gives everything, he is always for the team, he works, he sacrifices, he is not selfish… one of the people who suffer the most when things don’t work out.”
Vitor Roque-Endrick
“Let’s see, it’s very soon. Hopefully the signing of Vitor Roque will be at the level of Messi or Cristiano.”
I am calm, I am confident
Xavi
Laporta ratification
“If you ask… I see it as normal. If you ask me if I suffer because of my position, I have to answer. It’s a question, an answer, out of politeness. I’m calm, I’m confident.”
