The FC Barcelona does not find solutions to his defensive problems and after fitting two goals in front of the colista of LaLiga finished with three so many against in the friendly in front of the America

Calendar of FC Barcelona

With the clear conditioning to be a friendly party, with less than 48 hours of rest and almost 15 of trip, the FC Barcelona went back to fit two or more goals this season, a tendency that begins to be a worrisome subject of face to the most important part of the course. Besides, the culés saw like the America attained to carry the triumph in spite of having the advantage in the marker until in two opportunities during the party.

The rotations of Xavi in the XI were evident and necessary, beginning the duel of this morning with a defence in which only Andreas Christensen was player of the first team, including also to the guardameta title. Iñaki Crag descasó and Astralaga debuted and played little more than 70 minutes, allowing afterwards that it went in a Kochen that also premièred with the first Barcelona staff.

A Barça very distinct when titling equally suffered

Splitting of this base, in addition to the canteranos Fort, Cubarsí and Gerard in the line of four, and Unai and Casadó in the midfield, the Barça went back to suffer a lot in defence, so much in the first time as in the second. The experience of a rested Frenkie of Jong was not sufficient to lead to the team and Xavi saw again to the 'ghosts' of the defensive fragility, highlighting that the America finished having more the balloon (52%) and finishing until in eight occasions to the goal culé, with other six shots more than tried the Mexican team, three of them blocked.

Besides, the Aztec team attained to create until five important occasions of goal, including in them of course the three that finish in goal, by what with a bit more than fineness could have converted four or five so many in front of a Barça that although no can him value the same that an official party, clearly follows with problems of intensity and concentration in defence. Each goal of the America like this showed it, especially in the second and third where the players culés never were very positioned.

The goals of the America could be defended of better way

The 2-2 arrived after an exit in long of the Mexican goalkeeper in the middle of the Barcelona pressure and where Oriol Romeu and Héctor Fort remained surpassed by the balloon and left to the extreme facing the Catalan area, planting a pass to the space in which clearly it failed Pau Cubarsí and left the goal served for Julián Quiñones that like this put his doublet. In the 1-1 the colombo-Mexican finished of heel his first target after a played in which the Barça could not clear properly.

The 2-3 against for the Barça, already with Cancel, Faye and Mbacke in defence beside Fort, went product of a shot of corner of the America, played in short for later send a centre to the area and find totally only to Henry Martín, author of the fifth goal of the meeting. With a team that attacks of good way like The Palms in the next duel, Xavi will owe also take note on this duel and try see if the defensive problem goes further of the names and has to see with the system or the indications.
