. However, it was not a Robert Lewandowski match. The captain of the Polish national team was not an outstanding figure this time. He had two chances to score, but failed to capitalize on either.
Robert Lewandowski missed the goal. Xavi appreciated him anyway. “Works for the team”
The colorless performance of the FC Barcelona star did not go unnoticed. The Catalan coach, Xavi Hernandez, stood up for his player. “Lewandowski works for the team and creates situations. I am very pleased with his work in attack. Even if he didn’t score, he played well the whole game and we have to highlight him as well.”
Xavi’s attitude towards the Pole is therefore unchanged. The trainer trusts Lewandowski and consistently focuses on him. In the next league match against Girona on Saturday afternoon, unfortunately, he will not be able to put him in the first eleven. The footballer has one more game of suspension from LaLiga.
Xavi impressed by Dembele: ‘Sam is starting to believe it’
The hero of Barcelona was Ousamne Dembele. The Frenchman scored the only goal of the match and sealed the victory. Xavi was lavish on his praise. Dembele is one of the best players in the world in his position. I think what has changed in him is that he now starts to believe it himself. He feels our confidence. I talk to him a lot. I’m happy because he’s a great guy,” the coach complimented.
