Ernesto Valverde stressed that, he did not blame the mentality and attitude of his troops. As is known, Barcelona has just been defeated by the "La Liga key clerk" namely Leganes. Although Barcelona took the lead first, he still had to go home with his head down after Leganes's quick two-goal strike. Barcelona still have a chance to correct their mistakes when they entertain Athletic Bilbao early in the morning.

Valverde also admitted that he still could not accept why Barca could lose against Leganes. He felt one of the causes of his defeat was due to a very fast two-goal incident. He didn't even see any mentally problems from his team's defeat. But he realized that there would be many critics who came after this defeat. Despite asserting that he and his players cannot escape mistakes, this time the problem is not mentally or attitude.

"When you experience defeat, you will be vulnerable to all criticism. I am not too disturbed if there are one or two things that are shown related to our mistakes. But I also want my best team to win," Valverde said.
"Regarding the designation that my team is showing a bad attitude, I actually feel this tin has shown a fantastic attitude. Everyone can make mistakes, including me and my players," Valverde continued.

Conceding two goals in one minute will certainly put pressure on a team. Valverde felt the defeat suffered by his team from Leganes was purely an accident.

Barca's performance was very good, even Barca had the lead first through Philippe Coutinho in the 12th minute. But Nabil El Zhar and Oscar responded very quickly, two goals landed on the new goal in the 52nd and 53rd minutes. The mistake made by Gerard Pique, it would be a disaster for Barca, Oscar immediately took advantage of this good opportunity.

"Every time a team concedes twice in one minute, it is definitely an accident. But it is clear that we must improve our performance. The same can also be true if we win. As you know, Barca's defeat at the Camp Nou can causing an earthquake, "Valverde stressed.
