“The registration process is missing. I’m counting on him, he will be on the squad list and we hope he is available. I guess it’s a matter of hours,” said the Catalan team’s coach from the press room of the Joan Gamper Sports City.
Xavi also talked about the market, where he slammed the door, a word that is used a lot in Spain, but for us it would be a bombshell. All this due to the economic situation of FC Barcelona.

Regarding the big names on the market, like Mbappé and Haaland, Xavi did not even want to leave the slightest possibility open: “The ones I have, I already have to deal with. Now we are not here to think about this type of signings, we do not have this privileged situation on an economic level.”
With this, Xavi makes it clear that he is not going to go to the market to look for another player besides Vitor Roque.
-OTHER CONFERENCE QUESTIONS-
The match and the rival
“);/*]]>*/
“We have a difficult exit. Las Palmas, with permission from Girona, I think is the revelation of the season. Pimienta is a great coach. They play football well. It looks a lot like what we are looking for. Offensive proposal. Triangulation, attack, high pressure. We know each other well and I have a lot of esteem for him. Complicated rival. Teams like Atlético have lost in that field. I think we have come back from vacation very well. It’s time to demonstrate. We have to find that continuity in the game and the results.”
“I can reach the level of Cristiano and Mbappé, but I am not selfish. Nobody talked about me, now I’m crack”
The downturn against Almería
“No, I don’t take it that way. In any case, there are four and a half months left to see how we compete. To see if we touch the final key. We want to win and play a good game. I think we come back from vacation well. Regarding the fight the other day, I gave the same message here as in the locker room. I think it was necessary.”

Alex Garcia
“I have not spoken with him or with any other footballer. I don’t know if he can join someone else. We depend on fair-play. We will see what the club is capable of doing. I am in contact with the president and with Deco. We will see”.
Iñigo Martinez
“);/*]]>*/
“He won’t be in Las Palmas, but he will be in the Cup on Sunday.”
New year’s resolution
“I ask for success every year and that means winning titles. The same as last year. We have four in play. One, the Champions League, we are doing well. Another one where there is a need, LaLiga. And two wonderful competitions begin, which are the Cup and the Super Cup. I ask for health, happiness, for the players to have a good time… and above all to win.”

Pedri
“He is fine and has a good feeling. Let’s see if he joins us in the next games. Hopefully he can join sooner rather than later.”
Almería rant
“The message already penetrated in the second part. There was a complete change. A clear and resounding change was necessary. The footballers saw it the same way.”
Lewandowski – Vitor
“It will be good for him and for everyone. The more competition, the better. He is going to help us a lot. Generating competitiveness is also a positive aspect.”
Get strong on the field
“Totally agree. With Girona we lost playing well. We beat Real by playing badly. The result, many times, is an imposter of what happens in the field. We have to get closer to Madrid’s day, to Girona’s day, but being more effective. I think we have improved compared to last year. What takes its toll on us are the errors in defense and lack of success in attack. That’s my diagnosis.”
Pedri would sign Haaland
“The ones I have, I have to deal with. We are not here to think about that type of signings. We don’t have that economic situation, unfortunately. I’ll stick with the ones I have, because with them I have to win titles. I already warned in Gamper that this would be a complicated season. I continue with the excitement of the first day. I think things have been done very well so far. I think we are on the right track”.
De Jong
“He is very demanding of himself. He is at a very high level. He has made a change at the level of maturity, of understanding the game. I think we have found a position in which he makes a difference. He is very noticeable when he is not there. He has leadership ability, he doesn’t get caught up in the ball. He is extraordinary.”
What area worries you the most?
“The defense. Last year we were extraordinary there and this year we are giving away a lot. We usually score goals. And there are games in which we have made 2 or 3 and they have not been won.”
Is there a template to aspire to titles?
“I believe it with complete sincerity. Roundly”.
Julian Araujo
“Very positive opinion of your season. He is playing and he is doing well. He’s playing with personality. “Bojan is following up on him, like the rest of those on loan.”
Do harm to Las Palmas
“Generating chances for them. In the last games we have shot more than 30 times. That’s the goal tomorrow. Go on the attack, high pressure, have the ball. But they want the same thing. It’s going to be very competitive. I think Valles is the goalkeeper who saves the most. We are going to try to generate many chances.”
How do they get there?
“We are prepared to compete, as always. We compete very well. We are coming back from the holidays well. We have a very difficult game, with a difficult opponent and in a difficult stadium, but we want to start the year well.”
