Xavi Hernández could not hide his disappointment after the overwhelming defeat (6-2) of his team, Al-Sadd, against the Esperance of Tunisia in the duel for fifth place in the Club World Cup.
" I am very sad, very disappointed and very angry , because we played the first two games very well, and I cannot understand how we started the game today, without attitude, without ambition, without passion," said the former midfielder of FC Barcelona and the Spanish team and now on the bench of the Qatari team.
"It's a prize for us to be here and I can't understand today's team, this is not the Al-Sadd we want," he added. "I apologize to Al-Saad fans, because it is not the image we want," Xavi said.
"Today was a bad result, not only because of the result, but because we played very badly for the first 30 minutes, I cannot accept those first 30 minutes, " said the Catalan. His team, led by former Atlético Gabi Fernández, lost 3-0 in the 25th minute of the match against the African champion.
