The bad image presented by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final made even Xavi apologize to the fans. The Blaugrana coach seemed very emotional at the end of the match. This is what President Joan Laporta discovered, who rushed to embrace him in an emotional way on the floor of Al Awal Park Stadium in Riyadh to encourage him and put an end to possible speculation about his future with one fell swoop.
Sporting director, Deco, also nipped the possible rumors in the bud and smoothly confirmed Xavi’s continuity. He said in response to a question about the possible dismissal of the coach: “This question is illogical,” adding: “This is not the right time to talk about this matter. The coach has the trust of the president and the sports administration.”
Deco also confirmed Xavi’s painful statement in a press conference, stressing without reservations or speculation that there will be no new deals in the winter market due to the club’s economic situation and the limited fair play: “There are a fair number of teams that suffer from fair play problems. “We do not have the ability to sign, and this is the reality.”
Barcelona’s sporting director focused on the match, and began by congratulating Real Madrid: “They played an amazing match and we were not able to counter their strengths. Vinny and Rodrigo…we could not neutralize them.”
Deco lamented the penalty that slowed down the team’s reaction: “When the score was 2-1 it looked like we could fight, but the 3-1 score hurt us a lot.” He sent a message criticizing the team’s position: “It is a very harsh defeat, because it was a title we wanted to win. “It was a match we couldn’t fight for, but now we have to think about it.” Drink and move on.”
