Barcelona coach Xavi has no doubts about the spirit inside the dressing room.
Barca go to Real Sociedad tomorrow on the back of defeat at home a week ago to Real Madrid.
Xavi said, “In good times and bad times, the locker room is very healthy. I’ve never had to tell them anything about attitude. We have some captains who know what this is about.
“‘m not angry, I’m happy, calm. There are potholes and that is managed. They are challenges and we are prepared. There are four points and we can turn the situation around. I’m not upset, and even less so with you. I love you (the media).
“It is Barça and it is the maximum demand. If we win, we talk about the game; If we win the same, they criticise us for fitting in. It is a cultural issue that greatly affects Catalans, who always seek excellence. Every week there is a note. I convey everything but complacency. Not everyone likes the Barça coach.”
On Ilkay Gundogan‘s outburst after the El Clasico defeat, he added: “Well, we lost and we were angry. It’s their culture. Look what happened at Bayern after losing in the Cup. We were all angry.”
