WILL HISTORY BE REPEATED IN 2023?
The Spanish Super Cup, a 'thermometer' to measure Barça's motivation in 2024
FC Barcelona does not end 2023 with very good feelings, but there is peace in the club regarding the 'awakening' of the club next year, with the Spanish Super Cup as the first challenge and title at stake
The last presentations of the FC Barcelona in 2023 did not invite to the optimism. In addition to that the team is fitting much more that in the past season, the problems of effectiveness are each more evident and Xavi Hernández has not found the formula for 'counter' the negative effects. The good news, in any case, is that they achieved the classification to the eighth of the Champions League. In LaLiga the situation yes is much more complicated, with seven points of difference, but there is hope in that it will be able to trace back. Or at least try it.
For this, the Barcelona have to go out of the 'lapsus' that have been living, of way repeated, in these last weeks. They have turned into a team that tries it, generates occasions, but that fails in the útimo pass and that also has too many disconnections that 'invite' to the rivals, without mattering his level, to merodear the area constantly. The Barça is 'condemning' in the areas and in 2024 the big challenge is to change this pelihrosa dynamic.
Tournament 'motivational' for the Barça
To this, it is necessary to add him the fault of "soul" that has reported Xavi Hernández in the last days. From the club expect that this dynamic change radically and see the dispute of the Supercopa of Spain, in Saudi Arabia, like the possible turning point for the euipo, as it already happened in the past season. When the culés won the title in 2023, gave a dump important and saw able to keep the good feelings during these months. It was a Barça with hunger of titles, in spite of the early elimination in Europe League, a month afterwards.
In 'SPORT' have highlighted that from the breast of the barcelonismo trust that the visit to Saudi Arabia was the impulse anímico that so much needs the staff. It is worth it to remember that they will contest the semifinal against the Osasuna, the Thursday 11, and that in case to win, would have a place ensured in the final against the Real Madrid or Athletic of Madrid. In the past season, the Catalans imposed with a lot of solvency in front of the White House with a 1-3 in the final.
Impulse for the Champions League?
Up to now, anybody has been able to win the Supercopa of Spain (with his new model) in two consecutive occasions. The Barça would be the first, in case to achieve it, and can be the best 'recipe' so that the team arrive motivated to a demanding calendar that, between other things, includes the duel against the Naples in the eighth of final of the Champions League, on 21 February in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The culés have to be very 'enchufados' not to leave happen the train.
