Xavi charges against the Barça players for the “unacceptable” 1st half against Almería

Xavi Hernández expressed his annoyance by another grey performance of the FC Barcelona. Further of the triumph against the Almería (3-2), the team went back to leave a lot of doubts, especially in the first part. "More suffering of the that expected and of the that deserved us. We throw 30 times and give two goals. The first part is unacceptable like trainer. The second part, sí. We have failed a lot and we carry with this tonic a month and half or two", said the egarense to 'Movistar +'.

Already in the press conference post party, the Barcelona trainer put like example to Sergi Roberto, the one who finish being the 'MVP' of the party with a doublet."I do not want to aim to any player. If you see the intensity of any player in the first and in the second part, do not have at all that see. It does not arrive us for golear. It is necessary to work like animals. Sergi Roberto is an example always".

Xavi, very hard against his players

In this sense, the one of Terrassa was further in his self-criticism. "To the team has been missing him soul. The team does not have this soul that had the past season. Neither aggressiveness, neither concentration... The one of the second part yes is the Barça that want". The result to the rest (1-1) no only exasperated to the trainer culé, but also to the fans of Montjuïc. Although the team improved in the complement, Edgar went back to equalise the duel in the 71', generating several whistles in Lluís Companys.

On the main Barcelona problem in the first part, Xavi did enfásis in the fault of intensity to try lastimar to the rival. "We needed more rhythm, intensity. Andreas had yellow and the risk was important", explained on the decision to put to Koundé and Ferran in the halftime. At the end, the changes gave him another face to the Barça, but the errors in defence and the fault of puntería condemned to the team to suffer more than the account against the colista.

The whistles of the fans and the explosion of Sergi Roberto

On the reaction of the fans after the two so many of the Almería, the míster was clear in his analysis. "I understand the whistles totally. They do not like me, eh. I have come to the Camp Nou and never have pitado. But it is that it is unacceptable. It can not be not having soul. It is not the result, is the soul. By respect to this shield and to this club it is necessary to leave the soul and this has not been like this in the first part", sentenced the one of Terrassa.

Regarding the party of Sergi Roberto, the one who returned to the eleven, Xavi ensured that the captain "is an example, play or do not play. Almost it does a 'hat-trick', but further of this is the work, how encourages to the people. I gladden me by him". On what comes for the Barça, the trainer was conclusive. "The stop can come us well. Enjoy with the family. The first part is just what does not be necessary to do. And the second, just what it is necessary to do. With the face of the second part, will be able to compete by titles in 2024. If no, no".
