Xavi, on DAZN: “We have been good, specific errors have made us fall behind. But today, with set pieces we have reaped the benefits. We have lacked calm, tranquility, but I am satisfied with the mentality that the team has shown.”
“On the second ball we were not fine. They have legs and they have created clear chances for us and the individual errors have weighed on us. We have to improve in the pause, in the calmness.”
“In Girona there will be a great game, both teams are going on the attack. It is a direct rival.”
“Fermín? He goes well into space, he generates unmarking. I think we should have created more chances with one more. In the end we won with a set piece.”
“I’m fine, it’s simple: I felt responsible and believed that it was better to step aside, but months have passed and I have seen confidence in everything. I felt support from the club, from the president, from Deco and from the players, and this has been fundamental.”
“The players are the protagonists of all this and they could have given a little more. The duels against Madrid have marked the League. Both here and at the Bernabéu, I think we deserved much more.”
“I feel for Barça. When I leave I will be on the field with my children.”
“I like many Valencia footballers, Pepelu, Gayà… What Baraja has done has a lot of merit.”
