Thread: Xavi's press conference ahead of tomorrow's match against AD Ceuta in the Copa Del Rey. #fcblive#CopaDelRey ⬇
🎙️| Xavi: "We are arriving at our best but we must not forget that our goal is to win titles." #fcblive
🎙️| Xavi: "Araujo needs rest the most so I want to rest him. The rest of the players are available. Everyone will travel except a couple of exceptions who are exhausted." #fcblive
🎙️| Xavi: "We will travel to Malaga and then take a helicopter to Ceuta. It's a bit different but no excuses." #fcblive
🚨🎙️| Xavi: "I don't have any news on Memphis. He's a professional and I'm glad he's here and in principle I'm counting on him." #fcblive
🎙️| Xavi: "Am I worried about other clubs tempting Gavi? Gavi is 100% with us, he is happy and valued and we are happy with him." #fcblive
🎙️| Xavi on calling up some subsidiary players: "We will see this evening. Ángel Alarcón may be coming in principle, but we'll see after the training." #fcblive
🎙️| Xavi: "I don't hide anything. This is Barcelona. I want to win and I want the team to enjoy playing football, I said that in my first speech as well. We are here to enjoy and win." #fcblive
🎙️| Xavi: "If we don't win trophies they will kill me anyway. This is Barcelona and that's how it is. When I came I already knew this." #fcblive
🎙️| Xavi on Christensen: "Andreas is a guarantee at the back. He's excellent with the ball, shows personality, understands the game and wins his duels. We signed him because we know he can make the difference." #fcblive
🎙️| Xavi: "Does Frenkie play more comfortably next to Busquets? He feels comfortable and we try to give him a little more freedom. He's a player I really like and has exceptional potential to be one of the best midfielders in the world. He's at an excellent level." #fcblive
End of press conference.
