“Winning the League is difficult, I already said that there were things that didn’t work out” | Relief
Barcelona took over the game Benito Villamarin, after an excellent first half, the now-familiar shutdown and its resolution in the last minutes (2-4). The usual scenario this season, where 18 of the 40 goals were scored a quarter of an hour before the end. But in the press center there was a different game going on, after the score was 3:2. Real Madrid vs Almeria with a more than controversial referee’s play (and especially VAR) in the three actions that led to the return of Carlo Ancelotti’s men.
When asked about this, Javi made it clear. First he subscribed to the words of Gaizka Garitano, Almeria coach, who, among other things, said that “This isn’t the first time this has happened to me here.”. Later, the coach also agreed with Alfredo Relaño’s intervention on the Cadena SER issue. “In 30 years he will become a black legend of Real Madrid. Food distributed to anti-Madrid supporters“, commented the honorary president of AS.
Xavi, who always pays special attention to the role of the referee, said the following: “Everyone saw it. It will be difficult to win the championship, there will be things that don’t suit me. There are things we don’t controlThe coach noted the following games: “We have a penalty in Getafe, then in Vallecas, a goal from Joao Felix in Granada, we will have six more points.” This is reality,” Javi did not hide.
Besides the argument with the referee that marred the day, the coach admitted that they did it. “one of the best games”But he continues to worry about situations like the one that led Betis to a draw, when the Catalans seemed to be in control: “It’s our fault. We controlled everything, they can create things for us, but we get goals easily.” . I’m concerned about the territories, especially ours. It was a game that could be won comfortably. Perhaps the first goal was a foul by Pedri… But suddenly we find ourselves with the score 2-2. This is very unfair. Then we have faith and courage, but we should have won earlier. Good game”.
Besides the football aspects, the player from Terrassa also wanted to emphasize the “unity” of the team: “This is football, we lack concentration, the opponent is rebelling. We are Family. The team is united and we get the game. There are a lot of positive things to talk about. That snap we’re talking about could happen, I think it’s a big play.” And he wanted to take away the irony of replacing Lewandowski on the hour mark and with the score at 2-2: “I’m thinking about what we need. Roque is not going into space to pinpoint anyone, but to improve the team.” He also did not hesitate to emphasize that Pau Kubarsi and 16-year-old Lamin Yamal were going to “mark an era.”
