FC Barcelona started their season with a draw at home against Rayo Vallecano. A match full of frustration for Xavi and his players who hoped for better to start. The Catalan coach returned to the match after the meeting.
“It wasn’t our best game, we got to their zone, but we weren’t effective. It’s only one point, it’s not enough. But we have to keep believing in the model, to work hard. […] Yes, I understand the disappointment because we had generated a lot of expectations. We have to analyze the game well, improve and continue. Our ambitions are high. We’re sorry, frankly. […] We didn’t play well, but every player is trying to give their best. We ask for patience and the fans’ trust in the team.”
“With the chances we created, we should have scored at least one goal. I told the players that the pressure is on me now.”
Concern for Dembele?
It should also be noted that Ousmane Dembélé held his thigh at the end of the meeting. The French international played the 90 minutes and could have been injured but the most likely explanation would be linked to the 8 minutes of additional time which required an extra effort from the players.
Dembélé acaba cojeando el partido. Estira el inglés, se toca la parte posterior del muslo. Lo lógico es que sea solo fatiga muscular tras el esfuerzo de los 98′
