Barça's sports director, Deco, appeared before the Movistar cameras after the overwhelming victory achieved by Real Madrid against the Blaugrana in the final of the Spanish Super Cup.
"First of all I want to congratulate Real Madrid because they played a spectacular game," the former Barça midfielder began. "With the 2-1 it gave the feeling that we could improve but the 3-1 has hurt us a lot," he analyzed.
For the sports manager "it is a very tough defeat in a match in which we have not been able to fight. It was a title that we wanted to win but it was not possible, now it is time to continue and think about the Cup. In short, it is time to work" , he explained.
The keys to the defeat for Deco were several: "We have not managed to counteract Madrid's strong points. We knew that they were dangerous with the depth of Vinícius and Rodrygo but we have not neutralized it."
One of the hottest questions after what happened in Saudi Arabia is Xavi's future as Barça coach. Deco, his boss, is clear: "This question is irrelevant, we have only lost one game. The defeat does not change anything, Xavi still has all of our confidence."
