Xavi Hernández did not hide his satisfaction with Barcelona’s great game and pointed out that he made “a very positive balance. We started not very well, but when we settled down we circulated the ball faster, we settled down in the opposite field and we created chances in transitions”, especially for the coach “in plays by Ousmane”. He denied that the game was “easy” and pointed out that “few teams will come here and win 0-3, like in San Sebastian: few people will win.” The conclusion, although there are things that he wants to improve, is that “victory makes you feel more handsome.” He believes that “we have had chances to score more goals. It’s a good sign to come to the Sevilla field and impose ourselves, the team is in a very good moment”. However, he pointed out that “until we began to score the match it was another” and commented that “effectiveness is very important, that the first between changes the match” He admitted, in this sense, that at the beginning “we did not expect the 4-4 -2 in a diamond and we had to correct it, but we’ve come out many times with the ball under control, we’ve worked on it”. And he stressed that “the midfield had to work hard and the wingers be supportive.” He admitted that the team did not control at the beginning and that “we had talked about three things: one, equalize the intensity, because Sevilla was in need; two, pause, which has sometimes been lacking; and three, take advantage of the spaces that the circumstances of the game. We knew that they could press and leave spaces. I like positional play better, but you have to take advantage of the circumstances of the game”. He praised Dembélé: “I know what Ousmane is capable of, he is a player whose attitude I really like, not only in attack but also in defence. When Ferran came on, too, how Robert works… we have a lot of players who can contribute work”. And, of course, Lewandowski: “He has helped us a lot, both in attack and defense.” And he attached great importance to his effectiveness: “Scoring gives us a lot of peace of mind, that’s clear.” “Gavi, perhaps the best” Regarding Eric’s goal play, a strategic goal, he pointed out that “we had rehearsed it, it’s a goal that adds up, we had to improve on it and we have improved”. And he pointed out that “we have a lot of room to move the team: it depends on the rival, on how we want to attack, we have different variants. It is a very complete game of those who have started and those who have left”. And he praised Gavi: “I’m not surprised, I see him training every day and I see what he’s capable of. It’s wonderful, maybe it was the best of the match.” Read also
