Xavi talks Cadiz, Pedri, Cubarsi, El Clasico, PSG

Barcelona came out with a solid 1-0 win over Cadiz to certify their winning streak, as the Catalans have now lost zero of their last 13 games.

While Xavi Hernandez was not present to guide his team from the sidelines, he shared contentment with how the team performed and praised Barça’s approach to the game in the post-match conference.

Dissecting the performance

“We played a very good match, with serious intentions to put pressure on Real Madrid,” Xavi said.

The Spaniard highlighted that Barcelona were well-placed to score more goals and the 1-0 scoreline flatters Cadiz.

Xavi added, “We have improved our positional play a lot.

Pedri and Cubarsi

Pedri made a notable difference since being brought on around the hour mark, as he added value to Barcelona’s possession and controlled the tempo of the game.

Commending the youngster’s performance, Xavi said, “Pedri has the ability to control the match with a touch. He knows how to find the best option. He’s a different player, someone that rarely loses the ball.”

Despite featuring regularly over the weeks, Pau Cubarsi started the game. Still, Xavi justified his involvement by stating he is less fatigued due to his late entrance to the first team.

“Cubarsi is less fatigued than the rest of the squad because he didn’t play as much at the beginning of the season.”

Moreover, the coach made sure to give Cubarsi his roses as the teenage sensation once again produced an excellent exhibition in the heart of defense.

“I think that Cubarsí will mark an era at Barça. When we get pressed high, he always picks the right option. He corrects very well, wins duels… it doesn’t look like he’s 17 years old at all,” Xavi remarked.
