JAKARTA Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has been frustrated with his team's recent performance. Even though they are currently at the top of the 2022/2023 Spanish La Liga standings.
The 42-year-old coach took his team back to the top of the La Liga after a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo in the eighth week of La Liga at Camp Nou, Monday, October 10 in the morning WIB. Pedri scored the only goal.
However, Xavi is not satisfied with the performance of his team. Moreover, they must be prepared to welcome the next two major matches against Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
"We have to improve. We have to be critical of ourselves. The second half didn't go well pushing and putting pressure on them," Xavi said after the match against Celta, reported by Football Espana.
The result actually made Barcelona unbeaten in the league so far and managed to occupy the top position with a collection of 22 points. They were just ahead on goal difference from Real Madrid in second place.
However, the Blaugrana experienced a decline in goal productivity. In the previous week against Mallorca, they also only won through a single goal scored by Robert Lewandowski.
"Psychologically we experienced a decline and ended up with two failed chances. Today we were uncomfortable, but without being in a bad condition, you have to play a game like this," said Xavi.
"Three weeks ago we were in the wind, but now we don't. You have to play this game even if you don't play well," he added.
Furthermore, Xavi will lead his squad against Inter Milan in the European Champions League group phase at Camp Nou, Thursday, October 13. Three days after that match, they will be waiting for Real Madrid in the El Clasico match at the Santiago Bernabeu.
