According to Tasnim news agency, Xavi Hernandez, whose team was led by his team Linares Deportivo’s team in the 16th round of the Spanish Cup last night (Wednesday) in the 16th round of the final, went on to advance to the next round of the competition. “We needed Dembele and he performed well,” he said of his French striker, who scored his side’s first goal of the season in the 63rd minute.
He added: “Osman made the difference and could have scored another extraordinary goal.” I’m happy for him. From a football standpoint, there is nothing to say, Dembele performed very well in one-on-one situations and that is what we need. There is no new news on the issue of extending his contract.
The Barcelona coach continued: “It was a difficult day because everyone was expecting a victory, but football is no longer like that. Attacking a regular team is hard. We see that all the La Liga teams get into trouble sometimes, everyone is working tactically and physically. I told my players that they were better than their opponents, but I told them that two things could happen to us, our repulsion or inequality with Linares’ effort, and this is exactly what happened to us in the first few minutes.
