"We have failed a lot": Xavi acknowledges that Barça 'forgave' Napoli

The FC Barcelona has complicated his permanence in the Europe League because now the pass to the eighth of final will define in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, in a duel in which the Barcelona will have to improve his puntería. They have left to escape the opportunity to advance in the eliminatory, and go that they tried it... Now, everything remains opened after the goals of Zielinski and Ferran Torres.

Xavi Hernández has been the first in regretting the result of the Barcelona team, conscious that they deserved much more and that left to escape an opportunity of gold. The Barça brushed one and again the second goal, but was impossible 'break' the goal of the Naples. In press conference, the trainer egarense stood out that "it is a penalty because the team has done everything to win the party. Today we have failed a lot, we have played very well, but it is necessary to mark".

"The norm of the offside is absurd, but is like this"

On the goal of the Napoli, that opened the marker and that has generated a lot of controversy by the possible offside, Xavi has stood out that "The norm of the offside is absurd, but is like this", aimed, signalling besides that "refuse because we do not know that there is an offside player. Already it happened with Spain. It would do effective time in the football, would finish with the simulation and with the cheat".

Protagonists of the party

On the performance of Ferran Torres, the one who was very involved in the attack but without puntería, Xavi compared him with what happened with Luis Suárez does a few years. The egarense underlined that "Now we were doing a comparison in the changing room. To Luis Suárez happened him, that seemed that it did not have goal. The T-shirt of the Barça weighs some kilitos more. But I am loving to have him in the team and will give a lot of joys".

The trainer encouraged him and desacó that "if it is in the area is because it will mark. It has had goal all his life and will have it. In the trainings is of which more mark. Has our absolute confidence. Already it has to change the chip. It does not go him to affect. Of this commission me I, the staff. It is very strong, autoexigente...".

Regarding the performance of Dembélé and the pitada of the public, the one of Terrassa recognised that "the public has not done me case, but at the end has transformed in applauses", standing out that "already we have him pitado and already is, already has happened. The news is that the whistles have transformed in applauses".

Feelings found

On the feelings that has left him the party in the Camp Nou, Xavi remembered what has happened recently: "The day of the Athletic was incomplete because had an expulsion. Today we were with 11 the 90 minutes and generate a lot of and very clear. At the end they are ours errors, because you have to be more effective in the areas", explained. "We have conceded a goal when we were well and have generated a lot of occasions. It is a penalty not to carry a triumph like minimum".

This yes, has remained with a flavour of mouth agridulce because it is conscious that the Barça could remain with the victory in front of the Naples: "Now I am sad because it gives me anger have forgiven so much because it is a party for, like minimum, win. It gives me penalty say that it is an invalid fight and that play it to us in Italy. It does days that do good parties and playing like this will win more than will lose".
