Barcelona returned to winning ways with a 2-1 comeback victory over Alaves on Sunday afternoon, although it was far from convincing for the Catalans. Robert Lewandowski spared their blushes after Samu Omorodion scored for the Basque side after 18 seconds.
Speaking post-match (via Diario AS), Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez was pleased with his side’s performance in some aspects, but admitted that there is still more improvements to be made.
“Positionally we have not been bad, but we have suffered with ball losses and transitions, especially with Samu. We are not in our best moment, but we have shown sprit to win in a game in which we grew.
“I’m clear that we’re going to improve. I’m very positive. Today there has been improvement at times. We shouldn’t worry.”
Xavi saved special praise for Lewandowski, who ended a run of six matches without a goal with his double.
“He’s always there, because he works hard, He has leadership, and today he makes a difference. I’m happy for him.”
The international break will allow Barcelona to work on their game, which is needed ahead of their trip to Rayo Vallecano in two weeks time.
Too much belief in a player that is wat is always killing barca team,xavi inability to read a game and poor tactics,is not the players fault is xavi.
And here’s me thinking you knew what the problems were xavi ? and you identified them and were going to fix it lol ? 🤫🤫😴😴😴😴🤬 absolute rubbish as usual that comes out of your mouth 🤮 mate no offense, same old barca under xavi same problems,same no improvements,struggling at home to get over the line against with all due respect relegation opposition,home fans booing and showing their disapproval and correctly so imo 👏 poor fan turnout in the stadium again
correctly so 👏boring,unorganised,unrecognisable complete and utter mess,as a barca fan it saddens me to say this fc barcelona has massive massive problems and all you xavi lovers can hate me all use want this guy is not the solution by a long long shot and until the penny finally drops and the barca board wake up and realise this these problems will only continue and continue to get worse imo.
Xavi Hernandez upbeat despite another unconvincing performance lmao 🤣😂
