The FC Barcelona achieved a key victory in front of the Celtic of Vigo (1-3), but left very bad feelings in his game. The picture directed by Xavi Hernández follows enchufado in the classification and firm in the fight for achieving the second square of the classification of LaLiga Santander, but with a lot that improve for 'convince' to the fans of face to the next season.

This last stretch of course is him doing excessively long to the culés and the party against the Celtic has been the proof of this. The trainer of Terrassa recognised in press conference that had the feeling that against eleven players could not... And that, in definite, have not played well. The good news, in any case, is that the puntería was fine-tuned and, of three arrivals, achieved three goals for the victory.

"Against eleven, has cost us. It has been missing us pulcritud. But we have been effective"

"They are three key points. Perhaps we have not deserved so much. In the first part have not been well. The feeling is not to play well to the football. It is necessary to play better, it is necessary to understand what requires the party", recognised the trainer egarense, adding that "we have to have more patience, more command. After the expulsion, has been simpler. Against eleven, has cost us. It has been missing us pulcritud. But we have been effective. We are still in the fight to be second".

Likewise, the egarense aimed that his bet in the change of system, playing with three defenders (Alves, Araújo and Eric) advancing to Jordi Alba to the centre of the field so that it played like interior, has not worked: "we have not been well. We had not tested it. Afterwards we have changed and we have put another purer midfield player, to Riqui Puig. But we have not been well, we have lost a lot of balls. We have not understood it. It was missing pause, order... We have not been well. It is an evidence", repeated.

It went back to refer to the need to play with more pulcritud to avoid so many errors: "It Is necessary to play simpler, easier... When you lose a balloon, the following has to be gold. They can not lose. It is necessary to have more order. It is necessary to train. We have not been well", underlining besides that "in a lot of moments, can play 3-4-3, but has a lot of risks. It is necessary to be very well in surveillances. It uses to win the parties, in the last half hour. But it has not gone out us well".

Protagonists of the night

On Ousmane Dembélé, the one who gave two assistances in front of the Celtic, Xavi stood out that "mark the difference is not only mark goals, is to assist, stop, defend well... He does almost only the 1-0, afterwards gives it to him to Auba... It marks the difference. It is able to mark differences. It has marked the difference when the team was worse. It is a special footballer, different... ". Of Memphis said that "we already will see the next season. It is an important player. It marks differences, is a leader, polyvalent, works well, has goal... It is necessary to value it a lot".

Also it has referred to Ansu Fati: "it Has to go adding minutes. It has been very dynamic and with a course more. I see him well. The same against the Getafe can see it more. We will speak with the doctors" and on Riqui Puig: "we needed players that arrived to the area. Has fierce competition, as many of the team. It has been well. I am happy".
