Xavi warned the players in terms of attacking after the Galatasaray match. The young coach emphasized the successful defense of the yellow-red team at the press conference.
What did Xavi Hernandez say about Galatasaray?
“We needed to attack better, to divide the central defenders. We were better in the second half but it wasn’t enough to win. It’s hard to unlock. A goal in the beginning changes the game completely.
It’s a question of football and motivation. In both cases, Galatasaray was at a level of defense that we have not encountered.”
While evaluating Aubameyang’s start of the Galatasaray match on the bench, Xavi said, “Aubameyang has been playing for a long time, I thought about fatigue. It is normal for him to be tired with the intensity of his playing. However, it makes a great contribution to us. It is an advantage to have such a player.”
