“It’s bad for the show and even for Getafe, because the ball gets stuck. Today it has been noticed, it is not an excuse but it has harmed us in terms of ball circulation. It has not been the most determining factor, we were not good at generating chances, effectiveness… We have not been fine“, acknowledged Xavi at a press conference.
With the subject of the injured, his words were practically the same. Dembele, Pedri, De Jong and Christensen they have not been able to play recently with Barcelona: “It is noticeable, but it is not an excuse. We have to win the games. It’s not a lack of ambition, far from it.Xavi added.
