The FC Barcelona has finished the 2020 and the first part of his season 'of transition' with more doubts that certainties. The trainer, Ronald Koeman, the most discussed
When Ronald Koeman arrived to the bench of the FC Barcelona, after the dismissal of Quique Setién, the hopes were put in him to recover to a team that lived his worst crisis. Days before it landed in the City Condal, the culés had been defeated by the Bayern Munich in the Champions League, after a goleada so humillante like unforgettable.
This night, after the party in Lisbon, Gerard Hammered had given the face and highlighted that the Barça needed a lot of changes and that this party, and the grey season of the culés, was the result of a lot of errors that had committed in the past. If the eliminatory in front of the Rome and Liverpool hurt, the party in front of the ones of Hansi-Flick marked an era in the team. Of there to that the directive blaugrana decided destituir to the technician and give him gone out to players transferibles for 'reinforce' to the team with other signings.
Koeman Arrived with a lot of illusions to the Camp Nou, but of sure did not expect that Lionel Messi was so decided to abandon the team. Although it remained , it cost him adapt to a club in which it did not want to be. In any one of the cases, the season began with some parties more than positive in the pre-season and two victories (4-0 in front of the Villarreal and 0-3 in front of the Celtic of Vigo) that invited to dream in that the Dutch had given with the 'key' to give back him the shine to the team.
At all more far of the reality. After the party in Balaídos, at the beginning of October, the Barça mounted in a Russian mountain that seems to not to detain. First it was the tie in front of the Seville, afterwards the defeats in front of the Getafe and Real Madrid (with controversy, but anyway, defeat). In the meantime, maquillaba the critical situation with goleadas in the Champions League but, the moment of the team was more than delicate. The main problem was that in this moment Koeman was testing to Messi as 'false nine', changing the system of 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1, there was lacking of puntería...
The fault of reaction has been the most worrisome of the Barça of Koeman. The team only has traced back, this season, an alone party (in front of the Real Sociedad) and has cost him horrors recover when the rival annotates. Can question the attitude of Messi, the big failures of Antoine Griezmann or the errors of Clément Lenglet in the area, but the reality is that the trainer is the manager that, in this moment, the season of transition of the team scare.
The more youngsters have rescued to the Barça
Without Pedri González, Ansu Fati the players '-21' the history of the FC Barcelona in this moment would be much more worrisome. Before lesionarse, Fati had turned into the most effective player and determinant for the culés. A lot of goals and occasions of danger were born of his boots and arrived to opacar to two footballers consecrated, as they are it Lionel Messi or Antoine Griezmann. Pedri, by his part, continues showing reason the Barça bets by him.
The grancanario, even in front of the Eibar, where the image of the team was more than regrettable, achieved to stand out. It is a player that proposes, surpasses lines and knows how read the game of the rival, something that has turned him into one of the best 'partners' of Leo Messi in the field and, without place to doubts, one of the big promises in Can Barça to short and long term.
