The last victory was on September 21st
Barça Atlètic has not won for two months and is already in the relegation zone
The reserve team, managed by Albert Sánchez, has now gone 9 games without a win. They have drawn 8 and lost 1, the most recent against Nàstic.
Barça Atlètic is suffering a footballing crisis. It has not managed to take three points since September 21, at the Estadi Johan Cruyff against Zamora (1-0). This was the second victory of the season. After losing at home to Nàstic this weekend (0-2), the reserve team has gone 9 games without a win and this is reflected in the table, where it occupies sixteenth place, in the relegation zone.
After two consecutive years entering the play-off for promotion to the Second Division, this season does not seem to be the same. It is being a very complicated season, with many absences, both due to injury and promotion to the first team. Albert Sánchez is having to put together line-ups full of very young players and the team is suffering a lot in each game.
"We have to keep working and believe in what we do"
The most recent event was this Sunday. The Barça reserve team lost at home to Nàstic de Tarragona (0-2). Thus, the streak of nine games without a win has sent Barça Atlètic to the relegation zone. They are in sixteenth place, with 14 points from 14 games. The situation in the table is not so serious, as the play-off zone is marked by their most recent rival with 22 points, but the sensations are.
"I think we played a good game, but we need to polish details, the first goal came from a corner and the second from a throw-in in our favour. We stood up and tried, we have to keep going because now it is coming up tails, but when it comes up heads we will go up," said Albert Sánchez in a press conference after the defeat.
Similarly, the reserve team coach advocates calm. He trusts his players and his working formula: "We have to keep working and believe in what we do. This team is very much alive, we have to recover players who are important, not look at the table and look day by day, knowing that we are developing players for the first team, but it is true that we have to break the streak of nine games without winning," he explained.
