Deco wants to win all the remaining games
Roger Bogunyà
FC Barcelona midfielder Deco knows that his team has made mistakes in the last few matches. That is why the Portuguese international believes that Barça must win their remaining league games.
There are 21 points in play, that’s seven games between now and the end of the league. Deco
believes that Barça has to win them all after loosing in their last two away fixtures. The Barça
number 20 said that despite the defeats, Barça is still in control of their own destiny and
explained, “if we loose the league it will be because we’ve failed”.
Match by match
To achieve the objective of winning all seven games Deco believes the best approach is to
take things “games by game”: “We can’t be making calculations now”.
The midfielder acknowledged that the situation is more complicated than previously, “Before
we could make mistakes but now we can’t make any, but we still depend on ourselves and we
mustn’t slip up any more”.
Saviola, loved and free
Another topic discussed at Friday’s press conference was that of the possible departure
of Javier Saviola to Real Madrid. Barça’s number 20 said it “could happen”, even
though Saviola is “very much loved by people at the club but it would be difficult for them
to accept him leaving for Real Madrid”. Deco described Saviola as
“an important player who has played an crucial role in the team’s success”.
The Cup final
Asked about the cup final, Deco replied “we first have to play the second leg with
Getafe, they are a team that scores plenty of goals, alluding to the
5-2
scoreline in the first leg at the Camp Nou. Therefore Deco declared, “we cannot think about
the final just yet”.
