Xavi’s press conference ahead of tomorrow’s game against Betis.

🎙️| Xavi: “Betis are a great team and they clearly know who they are playing. They have a lot of technical quality throughout the team and more in midfield. We will try to take the ball from them and be dominant.”

🎙️| Xavi: “Dembele’s recovery took longer than expected but the important thing is that he is fine now.”

🎙️| Xavi: “In Vallecas we played our worst game of the season.”

🎙️| Xavi: “Ansu has competition. It’s Barca and I see Ferran or Raphinha are better at the moment. It’s Barca and there’s fierce competition here.”

🎙️| Xavi: “We missed Dembélé, of course, like everyone who can’t play at some point. Dembélé is the most differential player in the team in 1vs1. There are very few players with this characteristic in the world.”

🎙️| Xavi: “You have to be self-critical. I also make mistakes as a coach. There are mistakes that always need to be corrected.”

🎙️| Xavi: “Christensen is a player in whom we have a lot of confidence. That’s a guarantee.”

🎙️| Xavi: “I’m not surprised by what is being said. It’s Barca, the toughest club in the world where it’s not worth winning 1-0 many times.”

🎙️| Xavi: “Raphinha is having a good season, with her goals and hard work. He wants to be a perfectionist and sometimes there is frustration. He always works with the right spirit to succeed.”

🎙️| Xavi: “Kounde? This is also a ‘mine’ purchase. I know he is a center back but circumstances led him to acclimate as a right back. He does it well and has the humility to keep working hard and improve.”
