deportation Vitor Roque He scored the goal of the game against Alavés. Not because of the result, because Tigrinho was responsible for scoring as soon as he entered the field, but rather because he exacerbated a controversy that has rocked the League for weeks. Arbitration and surprising decisions. The second yellow card (which led to the Brazilian receiving a red card) sent Xavi Hernández into a frenzy and he could not believe that the striker had been penalized in terms of his technical area. “We will appeal against Vitor Roque’s second yellow card”It is clear that this was a mistake, another mistake directed at us. A lot unfair dismissal“, he declared when the game was over.
“I just want them to let us compete, I’m just asking this. I won’t say more, I won’t talk more about the referees. Then everything turns against us but they let us compete. This is another glaring mistake.. We were like this all season, I already said. according to me We pay for the case negreiraWithout doubt. This is the truth, this is how I live. “I won’t talk about referees again,” Xavi said at a press conference, which he marked as the last time he would talk about refereeing actions. “I don’t need to say this, otherwise you will say ‘I’ll kill me. What will I tell you? A lie? Another mistake again.”
Xavi wanted reaction after the statement. When the season ended, Culé believed that the decision to leave the bench should ease the pressure on the players. It is too early to say that there has been a definitive change in the dynamics, but since then Barça have won two games in two matches. “Today we have become a mature team and we know how to compete. The conceded goal gave me great courage. “This is the reaction I expect from the team“, admitted the Terrassa coach. “Winning is always positive. Two victories after the decision that I already said was necessary. This match was very competitive and a very important victory. It was a difficult match and the team handled the ball very well. “This match makes us stronger,” he said.
“HE The team was aware last year that we needed to regain our strengthswas to defend and compete together. No matter how much talent we have, we are also playing against teams that are good and have spirit. After the meeting ended, Jules Koundé commented, “And we had spirit today.” “Generally we checked the game“said the Frenchman.
Young people coming to the fore
Xavi wanted to focus on two names in the Alavés match. “Lamine has a monstrous talent. 16 years old. Very few people emerge in these conditions. How he works, how he fights, how he helps the side… If I don’t give him the bracelet… he’s already a starter. It has no roof. We made a special plan with him. Make differences. We are faced with something special. I emphasize how he competed and how he did not get tired. It travels for many kilometers at high intensity. It’s going the other way. I am so happy. There is defensive humility“, the Barça coach was full of praise.
After the meeting, he also wanted to highlight Cubarsí. “We were just kidding, he looked like someone I didn’t know how old he was. He looks like a veterananyone. Aggressive, he doesn’t lose the ball, he shoots the ball…” In addition to the victory, Barça leaves Mendizorrotza without injury, despite the scare with Gündoğan. “No injury, just a blow to his back. We leave today unscathed…, we replaced Pedri due to fatigue.”
