The appearance ends
Thank you very much for following her with us. Until next time!
The courage of the young
Xavi: “The new generations have more self-confidence. Before Lamine, we already verified it with Pedri, Gavi and Balde, among others. I think that in my time as a footballer there was more fear, the young people were a little more self-conscious”.
Christensen, an extraordinary signing
Xavi: “Yes, he is one of the best signings in recent seasons. He understands Barça’s game very well, he could play in midfield. An extraordinary signing.”
Does Abde have a place in the Barça squad?
Xavi: “We haven’t decided anything with Abde. We’ll do it when the season ends.”
Ter Stegen, path of a historic Zamora
Xavi: “We’re not a defensive team. Barça takes a lot of risks at the back and that’s why I’m not surprised that Marc-André still doesn’t have a Zamora. This year we’ve been especially good at the back. I’ll be very happy if Ter Stegen wins his first Zamora”.
Raphinha’s great season
Xavi: “They can play together. Raphinha is having a great season and will continue to be important. The other day I told him personally. I’m very happy with him.”
Ansu Fati’s performance against Betis
Xavi: “He’s fine, he’s calm. The other day he was very good in the half hour he played. He did what has to be done.”
Pedri’s dependency
Xavi: “The problem is that Pedri is a special and differential player. I wish we could have two or three ‘Pedris’. We have to improve collectively even if we can’t count on him or other important footballers like Dembélé”.
Guardiola’s City, close to the treble
Xavi: “For me, City is currently the best team in the world. He plays very well and has the best coach in the world. It would be totally fair for him to win the treble.”
homework for next season
Xavi: “We are focused on this season, but yes, we have to improve the squad and be more competitive in the KO tournaments. We have not been at the level in the Champions League, in the Europa League or in the Cup. We must improve.”
Pending Madrid?
Xavi: “From within, we will greatly value the fact of having won a League and a Spanish Super Cup. Whether or not Madrid win the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, we will be happy with our season.”
Satisfied with the performance of your equipment
Xavi: “Since January I have been enjoying coaching Barça. Before I suffered more, but it was a part of the process. He had no choice but to be stubborn and try to convince the footballers. Now I do have the feeling that I am enjoying myself& rdquor;.
In search of stability
Xavi: “It has a lot of merit to be where we are. We are still in a construction process, but we have to build by winning and this League is very important for the club and the project. It would give us stability. It’s no miracle that we’re so close.”
Planning for the next season
Xavi: “We haven’t won the League yet. Complicated matches are coming our way. When we win the League, if we do, the rest of the games will be important. All official Barça matches are important.”
The cup final
Xavi: “I don’t know if I’ll be able to see it. I have an act. May the best man win.”
The future of Lamine Yamal
Xavi: “Everything is going well, the situation is under control. He only thinks about staying and succeeding at Barça. I am very calm. He only thinks about staying & rdquor ;.
Osasuna, with his mind on the Cup final
Xavi: “I don’t know what Jagoba is going to do. They will have the Cup final in mind, it is perhaps the most important match in the history of Osasuna. I’m sure they’ll want to compete at the Camp Nou.”
A deserved League
Xavi: “We congratulated Madrid last year, when they were champions. Football professionals know that the League is usually won by the best. The one that has had more regularity. KO competitions are more unfair than the League. We haven’t won anything yet, but I thank Ancelotti for his words.”
Abde’s future
Xavi: “We’ll see, we’ll decide at the end of the season. Abde has matured a lot, I am very happy with his loan to Osasuna. He has done well to work. He has made a difference in many games, he has a great talent. He has good conditions, it all depends on his mentality & rdquor ;.
The key to Barça’s success in the League
Xavi: “Until now, we are leaders because we have been a block. A family. All the players have prioritized the team. That’s how we won the Super Cup and that’s how we’ve achieved an eleven point margin over Madrid.”
The possibility of winning the League against Espanyol
Xavi: “I want to win it as soon as possible. The club, the ‘staff’ and the players need it. If it fits in Cornellá, fine. We can’t choose it. We have to win the League regardless of where we do it. We have to focus on what we control.”
Who do you want to win the Cup?
Xavi: “What do you imagine? & rdquor ;. Laughter in the press room.
Lewandowski recovers his sense of smell
Xavi: “He has taken a step forward. There are moments of the season in which confidence is lacking, but now it is good again. His maturity helps him a lot. Robert’s last two games are very good. And the season in general, brilliant & rdquor ;.
The management of Lamine Yamal
Xavi: “He is a calm person, who touches with his feet on the ground. He is intelligent, he does not lose balls, he is cheerful. I don’t think he has problems managing it. He is very focused. The idea is that he is in the dynamics of the first team and continues to participate. I see the necessary conditions for him to be like that & rdquor ;.
regularity problems
Xavi: “Winning tomorrow with good feelings is very important for us. We must have an identity, be more constant, yes.”
Possible rotations of Osasuna
Xavi: “We don’t know what the Osasuna line-up will be. They will play the biggest Saturday in their history on Saturday and maybe rotate. It will be a difficult rival whoever plays. We want to play the same game as against Betis. They are three vital points for us.”
