⚠️ Deco Expresses Concern After Two Consecutive Losses

🔍 The Team Is Not What It Was Last Season
In statements to the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Deco confirmed that Barcelona is no longer the great and impressive team it was last season, emphasizing that the team’s success depends on collective effort and unity:

⚽ Quality Alone Is Not Enough
Deco stressed that player quality alone is not the only factor for success, but rather teamwork and harmony are fundamental:
"When we are united and have high quality, we become a hard-to-beat team. But if we believe quality is more important than teamwork, we will face big problems."
🛠️ Seeking Solutions and Balance
Amid these negative results, Deco confirmed that Barcelona needs to rebuild its balance and strengthen team spirit and commitment, affirming that these elements are key to a strong return to competing for titles this season.
📉 Heavy Defeat Against Sevilla Increases Pressure
