“We have shown a good version. We have met again with a great game at home. It has been a convincing and round game. We have attacked the spaces well, overcoming a very high defensive line. When we understand things, we play well,” Xavi analyzed proudly. Hernández after the 4-0 that his team gave to Getafe at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
For the Barcelona coach, the performances of Raphinha, João Félix and also Pau Cubarsí were key. There was praise for everyone. “Raphinha has created danger in space. He has overcome spaces and has given us a lot. He has been one of the keys to the game, just like João Félix’s performance. And Cubarsí is the best at getting the ball out. He is spectacular with 17 years to see him do this,” said the coach who opted this time for an eleven with three midfielders and two wingers.
And now? “I think it’s early but we’re not throwing in the towel. We’re on time. It will be a toss-up in the Champions League. In the League we’ve taken a step forward, we’re in a good moment and we have to believe until the end. Today we beat Girona in the classification at the expense of what they do on Monday and we also put pressure on Real Madrid. We are not on time in the Super Cup and the Cup but in the League and in the Champions League we are,” he noted.
The coach insists that seeing his team play like this with two good performances in Naples and today does not change his plans to leave at the end of the season. Quite the opposite. “I am convinced that my decision is the best for the club. Even more so when I see how the team is working,” he said.
