FC Barcelona's duties to not fail in the 'final' in Valencia

Valencia receives this Saturday in Mestalla to the FC Barcelona in a meeting in which the culés need to win yes or yes to try relieve the existent tension inside and out of the team after two consecutive defeats and at least three goals fit in each one of these meetings. Besides, it will suppose a new opportunity for Rubén Stirs attain his first triumph in the bench valencianista in front of the Catalan team, the only team 'big' that still resists him in LaLiga.

This last point is a factor more than adds him to the Barça in a duel that will be a 'final' for the culés because besides it could mean move away to more than seven points of the leadership if it does not achieve the triumph and the Girona continues with his good moment in this first turn of the championship. The last antecedent in Mestalla for the Boat left a triumph agónico by 0-1 with a so much of Robert Lewandowski in the last seconds, precisely a player that will have to appear yes or yes this next Saturday.

The Barça of Xavi needs to go back to convince to his fans

Perhaps the big problem for the ones of Xavi is that although achieve the triumph is imperative, also is true that a victory that can leave still worse feelings of which already exist could also questioning the feasibility of the project of the Catalan technician. The Barcelona team needs to go back to be conclusive in defence, be concentrated in the first minutes of each part and be intense every time that it was necessary, especially in a Mestalla that will tighten even more of what always accustoms.

Keep the goal to zero will be a very complicated task but necessary for the Barça. 7 goals fit in two parties is a figure that surprises to all and sundry, although it is not the only to correct. The group culé has to improve his circulation of balloon, the pressure to recover the possession and also can create better game in each opportunity of exit that have, something that the own Xavi has very clear.

A positive antecedent but already something far for the Barça

The only antecedent of this Barça in front of the Valency of Stir, which this season has given an evident balance at stake and results, went a triumph by the minimum (1-0), with a goal of Raphinha the past season, a duel in which the culés contested the last half hour with ten players by the expulsion of Araújo. In that moment these three points were more important that the ways to achieve them, but right now seems that Xavi does not have this margin.
