Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández was delighted with “how” they beat Real Madrid (1-3) and the Spanish Super Cup title as a result, referring to an “extraordinary” match in which he was “interested”.
“I’m very satisfied and happy. I love this way. I can’t be completely happy if we don’t play well.” When we win, but we always think about how. Today we intend to create superiority. What I dreamed and planned came true perfectly. I am very happy for my players who received unfair criticism and many players were released today. That gives a lot of confidence and peace of mind to work with.”
“How do I prefer the title; This is very important for me. Some people say no, but I do. How extraordinary it was today,” he continued.
A Xavi confident that this is the first stone of his project in the form of a header. “This is very positive for Barcelona fans, Messi’s departure has been difficult… We are building a team that I hope will be the first team for many,” he assured.
“It’s reassuring because players see what we’re proposing is working.. So they believe us. Of course it can’t stop here. We must continue to work as he did so well from the beginning. Somehow it paid off, and it paid off today as well,” he insisted.
“We have a very good generation and this hunger for titles has been noticed. I hope it will be a turning point. This will give us peace, but on Thursday we have to fight first in the Cup and then in the League…
Also, Xavi thought of Gavi, named the best player of the match and underlined his relationship with club president Joan Laporta.
“Gavi is a kid that gets us all excited when you see him competing like that. It has a character that affects and infects the rest.. Leadership is innate, it comes from within. What he did at 18 is great. Don’t stop, this kid has no roof,” he said.
“I have a friendly relationship with the President. I am very happy for him. He trusted this project very strongly and gave us a lot of confidence. I am very happy on his behalf, on behalf of the board of directors. I have been brave. Things are going well now,” he said.
