Barcelona’s manager, Xavi, has openly recognized the team’s current difficulties, emphasizing the need for self-criticism and improvement. Following a challenging match, Xavi admitted that the club is not experiencing its best period.
Despite the acknowledgment of a less than satisfactory performance, Xavi also pointed out a silver lining. He highlighted the team’s progression to the round of 16 in their competition, securing the top spot in their group. This achievement, he suggests, is a reason for the team to maintain a positive outlook amidst the struggles.
According to Xavi: “We have to be critical and try to improve. We are not in a good moment.”
However, he also stressed the importance of perspective, adding, “But we also have to think about where we come from and be happy even if it wasn’t a good night. We’re in the round of 16 as first in the group”.
Xavi, who is at the helm of Barcelona, is facing the challenge of steering the team back to its top form. His comments reflect a balanced approach, combining an honest assessment of the team’s current state with recognition of their achievements thus far.
