Zapping Our Mondial TOP 10: The most beautiful Ligue 1 2021/2022 jerseys
Tomorrow evening at 9:00 p.m., FC Barcelona receives Osasuna at Camp Nou. Xavi’s men are due to resume their game forward after the 0-0 draw with Galatasaray on Thursday. The Blaugrana coach came back to this during the pre-match press conference this afternoon:
Galatasaray :
« We needed to attack better, distribute the central defenders better, better understand the position of the inside players, the 9 was not going down so much to receive because he had no pass with the inside players. We lacked movement, we weren’t good in the first half, in the second half we were better, but it wasn’t enough to win. »
The elimination of PSG:
« I have a friendly relationship with Messi and I sent him encouragement, that’s all. These are football situations, when everything seemed to be going Paris’ way, Madrid came along and turned things around. The Champions League is like that. When you lower your intensity, the opposition goes over your head. »
Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland:
« These are assumptions. If anyone wants important players, now I train Ansu, Pedri, Busquets… the ones I have. It would be great for La Liga if these players came. We would grow as a league, the clubs signing them would grow, everything would be more focused. That’s all. »
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang :
« It must be important. He had played a lot of minutes and he was tired. The three forwards and the inside players are making a big effort. It is normal that he is tired and that we have to dose, but he is very important for us. He generates a lot of chances. »
Ronald Araujo:
« I hadn’t thought of talking to Puyol or Mascherano. We can help it from within. He is the player who has improved the most since we have been here, especially with the ball. He has improved a lot. He makes huge game changers, he divides. You don’t always find the best solution because I hadn’t trained him and he’s not a local player, he was signed at Barça B. He’s bold and that’s an advantage. He’s bold and that’s an advantage for us. »
Osasuna :
« I don’t think of anything else. I’m not thinking of Galatasaray on Thursday. By analyzing Osasuna, who are doing very well, I am focused on tomorrow’s game. »
to summarize
Xavi was asked about several themes, some of which are very recurrent, but are at the heart of the news. The game against Osasuna tomorrow night will be an opportunity to take three more points in the championship and Xavi is well aware of that.
