Of the 35 goals fit in the 33 official parties contested until the moment in League, Glass of Rey, UEFA Champions League and Supercopa of Spain, 14 arrived after desaciertos individual or communities. The Dutch will have to test his defence in front of Alavés, win and afterwards see to who plants in front of the PSG not to repeat the shipwreck of Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán
For anybody is a secret the crack that has the FC Barcelona in defence, a falencia that sees even more sharpened by the plague of injuries that comes harassing to the group directed by the Dutch trainer Ronald Koeman, the one who has had to aim more than an acrobatics during the present course to put in career to culés. It attained it, but the Wednesday erró with his decision to plant to the French Samuel Umtiti in front of the sensitive drop of the Uruguayan Ronald Araújo.
The bad news, is that the commitment of Glass of the King treated of a punctual case. It is the last chapter of a series of put of legs by part of the defensive saga, that goes on doing to sweat and cold to all the barcelonismo. To worsen the panorama, expects that Araújo do not return at least no against Alavés and PSG, and Gerard Hammered, is to the doors of a sanction by his cuestionamientos against the referees, that could delay his return.
Only to take into account the size of the crisis, voucher underline that, of the 35 goals fit in the 33 official parties contested until the moment in League, Glass of Rey, UEFA Champions League and Supercopa of Spain, 14 arrived after desaciertos individual or communities and seven, of penalti. A register that obviously have cost expensive and for sample the Wednesday. After the reverse in Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, the final of a competition that seemed near at hand now luce difficult.
This day the big portrayed was Umtiti. In the first goal the central Koundé did him a tunnel in the frontal to arrive hand manually with Ter Stegen and, in the second, remained backwards to leave offside to Rakitic, to the one who finally enabled and did not forgive with a powerful shot. This meeting has left in evidence another worrisome appearance: the fault of confidence to Lenglet.
Koeman, after the defeat in front of the directed by Julen Lopetegui, recognised that his absence was a "tactical decision". However, at all it invites to not thinking that see him in the Camp Nou this Saturday. The subject is that if the proof with him also fails like Umtiti, the candelero previous to the Tuesday will be more than worrisome. The Dutch knows that it needs to cover the gotera in front of the PSG, by a lot of that do not have the lesionados Neymar and Ángel Gave María.
The words of Koeman
"It is truth that fit goals, also created much more. It is necessary to have more effectiveness, be more conclusive in defending. It is missing us more regularity in defence and, especially, by the people that do not have. Then a tiredness can be important. Neither I am so concerned. It would be it if we did not create opportunities", analysed Koeman, the one who in spite of everything treated this Friday to throw cold water to the subject. It will touch to see by who decides this Saturday.
