And further: “I think it influences you quite a bit what is said around you. Scenarios are created that do not correspond to reality.” Xavi said there was a massive wave of “negativity around the team” which was hurting them. “The players were more tense than usual because of everything that was happening around the team. And that’s not fair. It’s normal that we don’t see the players in their best form because they don’t play freely.”
