The Barcelona coach, winning the classic on April 21 this Saturday “will be of little use.”
The Egarense coach assured, in a press conference, that the duel that will be played at the Nuevo Mirandilla against a rival that is fighting to avoid relegation is “vital”, since if Barça does not add the three points they will no longer have “almost options” to fight for the league title.
“There are three vital points and tomorrow is a transcendental day. Tomorrow we are playing for a title and I don’t think I have to overmotivate the players,” he said.
Xavi reduced the euphoria after the victory against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes (2-3) by remembering that “nothing is done” in the ‘Champions’.
“I understand the euphoria, the excitement, but we are in the same situation as before the PSG game. We have to think that we are 1-0 at half-time. And in the League we have options. But better to live with euphoria and enthusiasm, than with pessimism,” he added.
In any case, Xavi made it clear that the players are working the same as they did a few months ago: “Nothing has changed. The team believes it, it is capable of playing great games and we must take advantage of this positive dynamic.”
