Xavi comments on Barcelona’s results and the confrontation with Napoli in the Champions League
League Plus – Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez stressed the importance of achieving a victory over Almeria, scheduled for Wednesday, in the eighteenth round of the Spanish League.
Barcelona is suffering from poor results in La Liga, and the team has lost several points, as Barcelona has not achieved victory in the last 3 matches in the Spanish League Championship.
Xavi said in the press conference: “An important match for us after three matches without winning, and La Liga is still possible and we have chances to win it.”
He added: “We have to have a different mentality to improve offensive effectiveness, and when we fail to score, we have to improve defensively. We lack strength on both sides. This is what we lack to compete for titles.”
Regarding Girona’s lead in the La Liga standings, he said: “I have already said that they are a direct competitor and that they will fight for La Liga. The coach has followed a very good approach and they have high-level players. He is a direct competitor to win the La Liga.”
He continued: “We lack confidence in all aspects and we need to be more effective and decisive in defense and attack.”
He continued: “I think the reason we are nine points behind Girona is because of our mistakes… It is a difference that we can make up for. It is a matter of not wasting points and starting to achieve victories, starting with Almeria.”
Regarding his opinion about facing Napoli in the Champions League, he commented: “We are playing against the Italian champions. They are in a similar situation to us. I think we are at 50% for each team to qualify. They have changed the coach and they currently have Mazzarri, who tends to play defensively. It will be a complicated confrontation.” .
