Barcelona\u2019s winless streak in La Liga stretched to three matches after they suffered a 2-1 defeat to relegation-threatened Las Palmas at the Estadio Ol\u00edmpico Llu\u00eds Companys. The loss was further compounded by an injury to Alejandro Balde in the first half.<\/p>\n
Barcelona\u2019s head coach, Hansi Flick, criticized his team\u2019s performance, indicating that they didn\u2019t play well enough to secure a victory. He expressed frustration over their inability to capitalize on scoring chances, stating, \u201cWe did not play well. The team tried for a good result, but it wasn\u2019t our day. We were inefficient and failed to take our chances.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flick also acknowledged that his team\u2019s recent struggles in controlling the game and creating scoring opportunities had been an ongoing issue. \u201cWhen we control games, we can play well and create chances, but when we don\u2019t, that\u2019s the problem,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
According to the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez cautioned Flick against starting French defender Jules Kound\u00e9. Xavi believes Kound\u00e9 is ill-suited to play as a right-back, warning that relying on him in this role could lead to significant losses for Barcelona this season.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on his own experience, Xavi described using Kound\u00e9 in this position as an \u201cunforgivable mistake\u201d and advised Flick not to repeat it to avoid further damaging the team\u2019s promising start to the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
