'It's inadmissible': Xavi says what went wrong in 2nd half v Celta

FC Barcelona (h/t BarcaUniversal @ Twitter)

"We lowered the intensity, and we cannot do that. Celta took advantage of that and controlled us. Intensity should be the most fundamental and indisputable thing to us," 

"We were lucky that we didn't concede. We have to improve and criticize ourselves.

"We're not looking for excuses. We don't like them. What happened in the second half is inadmissible. There are no excuses."

 are going through a rough patch at the moment, 

"El Clasico is extremely important. But look, last year we weren't playing that well and we won comfortably. We hope that we can show the same personality again," the coach has said.

"We're league leaders, and we have to get back to the level we had before the international break. But it's not easy, as we saw today."

NO NO NO! It is not about intensity, can’t you see coach? It is about attacking, our players doesn’t know what to do in front, the only thing carrying us is luck and individual brilliance. It is terrible, i get that we have injured defenders, but our strikers are not injured, it is just about them knowing what to do on the pitch. If u look how plays real or arsenal or city u will see how they get through the lines, they know when to shoot when to run and when to pass. Our players doesn’t know that, and the only one to blame is Xavi. As much I love him as a player he was not ready and he is not ready to take that barca
