As it could not be otherwise, Xavi Hernández was a satisfied coach after his team's win over Betis, the biggest in the League since he took the bench. "At times we have been brilliant, in general terms we have played a very complete game although there are always things to improve," he declared.
The Barça coach elaborated on this first opinion: "I wouldn't say that we played a perfect game because there are things to improve but it was an excellent game."
If Xavi highlighted something, it is the work of his players and their way of enjoying a great game. "I am happy and satisfied to have seen the joy with which these people play, to have seen my players having fun and having a good time," highlighted the player from Terrassa.
Against Betis almost all the forwards scored. Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, Raphinha and Joao Félix. Only Lamine Yamal failed to beat the green and white. "The competition is perfect, the problem is now mine when it comes to choosing the attackers but that is wonderful for the team," he summarized.
The Barça coach emphasized the good atmosphere that was experienced in the Montjuïc Olympic stadium and pointed it out as one of the keys to the victory. "The public has helped us a lot, today it really seemed like we were at the Camp Nou," he congratulated himself.
Although he didn't find the net, without a doubt one of the most outstanding players in the game for Barça was Gavi. And Xavi did not hide his admiration for the young talent from Los Palacios. "The feeling I have is that it is very difficult for me to take him off the field, he is practically the heart of the team, he gives it a passion that gives us a lot of soul," he praised. "In preseason there were doubts about his figure but for me he is a fundamental person and footballer and I am delighted with him," he added.
Finally, Xavi did not hide and listed the aspects that he considers that Barça must improve. "The defensive line, not conceding so many chances because they were able to score 0-1, that's true, and then not slow down. We want to dominate the 90 minutes and there have been moments in which Betis has dominated," he concluded.
