we really do need to discuss how specifically happy pedri and gavi were on the day gavi came back because it was so sweet

#genuinely all over eachother #second most excited other than gavi was def pedri #we moved on from the armband thing too quickly…..#completely pedri’s idea like he just thought it would be sweet to do for him because he knows gavi and he knew that would make his night :(#something so poetic about it being pedri who made the night even more special #idk how gavi didn’t break down crying in front of him at some point idk

bringing gay pedrigavi to everyone’s feed to help with the depression

#the day gavi came back was actually insane behavior from both of them

also it’s so frustrating because gavi looked less sharp yesterday than he did when he first came back and that is all down to his limited minutes and the constant change of position when he is put in. i know we need to protect him, and he needs limited minutes, but what we’re doing right now is NOT helping and stuff like this makes players lose confidence. you’re taking a guy who has always been a huge part of this team (with a defined role) and starting him out when he came back with more minutes, and now you’re decreasing those and changing where he’s subbed in every other game like he’s just some throwaway player and if anything is going to hurt confidence it’s that. he needs a pat down role and he’s not being given that. in my opinion he should be pedri’s sub for now, it’s the role that most suits his abilities + he’s like the only player that can replicate a lot of what pedri does. but we don’t do that because we also want to run pedri into the ground instead of rotating him when we can 😂👍

#if this is them protecting gavi they’re doing a shit job in my opinion #and now i have to see people online calling him shit like any of this is his fault #mind you he wasn’t even bad yesterday but whatever i’m so annoyed

i know “playing through injuries” is a thing in sports but i feel like that should ONLY apply in some kind of final or something. why in the world would you let a 17 year old continue playing in a game against LEGANES? imagine if he had gotten tackled again and it made the injury even worse? it’s just so irresponsible on everyone’s part, i don’t care if a player says they can keep going (they always will, especially the young ones) the actual staff there to MAKE decisions regarding injuries/health should take them out

#just so frustrating #i don’t know if leaving him in excaberated his injury or not but it definitely had the potential to #just fucking stupid

pedri being angry and swearing shouldn't be as sexy as it is, like go off tell them

so true like i need him

#he’s so hot when he’s mad actually #when he’s mad on the pitch >>>>>>

FC BARCELONA v CD LEGANÉS | december 15, 2024 - post-match interview

"I think we didn't start the game with the intensity we should have, we conceded that goal very early and from there they get into a low block, they try to close us down from between the lines, but I think we had chances to win a game, we have to have that conviction to get there and score a goal and I think we didn't have it today and the truth is that it's one of the worst defeats. We have to improve many things." "I think that the 5% that we give extra in the Champions League we have to give in La Liga. I don't think we're at the level we're playing in the Champions League. In La Liga we lowered the intensity a little, and it's clear that any team can beat us. Las Palmas are coming, Leganés are coming, and they take points from us at home, we can't allow that. We are Barça, and we have to win every game."

Do you think you have enough solutions or resources to attack teams that play with low defensive blocks, or does it become too difficult? And could playing more on the wings provide better options?

"Yes, I think so, we'll see better in the video because live it's difficult to see from the inside, but well, I think we still had chances, in the first half we had three or four clear chances that we have to score and these are things that we have to improve, give that extra that we give in the Champions League and finish the chances and score goals. After all, yes, if you don't score goals in football, it's impossible to win a game."

Is there more anger, especially after the draw from Madrid in Vallecas?

"Well, I don't think we have to look at Madrid or Atlético, it's true that when they lose and draw everyone wants to win, but we have to look more at ourselves who have a bad streak in La Liga, and we have to give the level we are giving in the Champions League."

After this loss, will you go into the game against Atlético like it's a final?

"Every game is important. They are the same three points that we had lost here and if we had won them it would be worth the same. So we have to go out like every game to win it and stop thinking that it's a final, for us all games are finals."

#the “for us all games are finals” TELL THEM PEDRI

imo, a big challenge i have always believed that managers face is: how do you keep your team motivated across the long season, especially in the league? how do you make them have that drive and hunger? unfortunately, it’s a hard task, especially when you’re a “bigger” club who almost always expects to win the “easier” games. we don’t show enough drive or want to win in la liga games outside of a few of the players; they love acknowledging they need to win but it is not reflected in how they play.

#this makes it even more crucial u integrate ur bench well #because when fatigue and motivation loss sets in for some of these players #the bench players #HOPEFULLY #bring energy and drive on the pitch #but they can’t do that if they don’t feel useful/part of the team

🗣️ PEDRI: "It was a fucked up game. We started the game without concentration and we didn't manage to get a goal. We have to enter games better. It's clear that we created a lot of chances, but if you don't score goals, you can't win. It's fucked up because we wanted to win in La Liga, we are on a bad run, and we have to change this now. It's many games in a row but it's not an excuse. Arrive and finish. If you don't score a goal, it's impossible to win. I am angry."
