Barcelona sports director Deco commented on the championship race in the Spanish championship and recalled the main rule of the season: consistency is not the key here. At the moment, the Catalans are leading the tournament table, leaving Real Madrid behind by one point.
According to Deco, the position within the team is clear - he shares the same opinion as the coach. The championship is a "long distance", that is, a marathon: whoever makes fewer mistakes, does not slow down, and consistently accumulates results, will be at the top. Therefore, although Deco expressed confidence that "We are doing everything right," no one is jumping to conclusions.
The most important nuance in his words is cautious optimism. Because there are still many and very difficult matches ahead. The idea that “we need to move from game to game” is based on a simple truth: in La Liga, a mistake in one game can lead to a nervous breakdown in the next two rounds.
At the same time, Deco specifically touched on the current state of the team: “Barça” is in good shape, the morale is also good. But he once again emphasized that there is still a long way to go and the opponents are not indifferent.
The talk about “Real Madrid” is especially serious: Deco said that the Madrid team has strengthened, and there are high-quality players in the squad. That is, relying on the scenario that “Real will drop points on their own” this season is a fantasy.
Regarding “Atletico Madrid”, Deco admitted that they are a little behind, but highly appreciated their chances of returning to the fight. The reason is simple: there is a match with “Barcelona” ahead, and such games can change both the schedule and the mood overnight.
Now, the Catalans are facing a big test: on Thursday, Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Cup. So, for the fans, the "marathon talk" will be tested in practice: pace, patience and composure - these three are the real test for Barca right now.
