Barcelona head coach explained the reasons for his team's defeat to Villarreal.
Let us remind you that in the 22nd round of La Liga, the Catalans unexpectedly lost to the “yellow submarine”.
Xavi said he has a young team that lacks maturity and needs defeats like these to learn and improve.
“When you see how Cuenca stops Yamal…. This is exactly what we need. There is a lack of maturity in terms of fighting, and this makes itself felt.
In a normal situation we would lead 4:2 – but why are we giving our opponents a chance? Everything was in our hands – and it slipped out.
We have a young team, they need to hit such bumps. After this you only become better. This is a young team that lacks maturity on and off the ball.. You need to understand what to do in such situations and learn.
I'm really angry today. It's a hard blow. I saw that the defeat significantly hurt the players, we need to cheer them up,” the Marca specialist quotes.
It was also previously reported that Xavi set a club anti-record.
