POST-MATCH INTERVIEW: FC BARCELONA VS VILLARREAL CF
My favourite position? I don't care where I play, I feel comfortable when I participate a lot and touch the ball a lot.
After the bad results against Inter and Real Madrid we needed to beat a good team like Villarreal, if you win it always helps. The atmosphere in the locker room is much better.
I ended up tired, but I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about!
Xavi
Frenkie was very good. He really enjoyed the game, he understood it very well and he played a very complete game. I'm happy for him.
Marcos Alonso adapts perfectly to the centre-back position, he was very good today, but like the whole defensive line, also Alba, Sergi and Jules.
Ansu Fati is training very well. I'm sure he's going to be important, but it depends on him.
There is a month left for the World Cup. I'm sure that it will be a historic World Cup. I wish Qatar all the best in hosting. Qatar is a country that gave me everything.
The first half today was very good. We understood that the 'free man' was the pivot, Frenkie.
We talk a lot with the players about not always attacking the first time, about deciding well, that's why we talk about maturity... Today we even enjoyed it, depending on how the opponent plays you have to understand how to do it.
Frenkie is the best player in the team on braking lines. Today, he understood that very well, also in defence... Frenkie was especially good today.
The Barça fans whistling at Piqué? At the Gamper I called for unity. It's time to be together. All I can say is that in the dressing room he is an example. And he's a great captain. People need to know that.
We are making rotations because the team has to be at 100% to make the pressure work.
Ferran Torre is the best at pressing high the right wing. Ansu has also helped a lot.
Frenkie de Jong convinces me to be our pivot. He has been very focused.
Today with the messages on the phone it seems that I have won the lottery... Calm, now we are not the best team, I know that the expectations are high but we must work with humility, we will work to reach titles, but calm because I see a lot of tension in the atmosphere.
Ansu Fati
We knew we were coming from difficult results. These 3 points are very important and we played with the same style. Everyone who steps on the pitch tries to do their best.
My injury? It's in the past, I'm fine now.
Jordi Alba
Today it was important to play well in front of the fans. It was an important win. I thank the fans for their support.
Xavi already said we’re all going to play and we’re all going to be important. We have to try to give our best, I think we played great.
It was a complicated week after what happened against Inter and El Clásico. The team was together all the time, and this win will give us confidence.
