Barça's defense is probably the team's worst problem this season, but it's not too clear where the responsibility lies for the team's inability to improve its performances

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The defensive problem of the FC Barcelona this season is so evident and big that already seems to remain clear that does not treat of a problem, but of varied. The injuries clearly have contributed so that the Barcelona staff have retreated in his defensive solidity, but probably inside the club also exist other factors that can have the 'fault' of the low performance of the team near of his goal.

In the eliminatory of Glass against the Athletic Club, Héctor Fort and Pau Cubarsí, two boys of 17 years, finished being players very important in the elimination of the Barça in front of the the physical problems of Alejandro Balde and Andreas Christensen, but also showing that the level of both defences is quite low when they have been healthy and available for the team.

The Barça has not been able to solve a problem that has gone worsening

But going in a subject further of the physical, and understanding that you titled like Ter Stegen and Gavi have finished lesionando of gravity, right now Xavi does not have a system that really can do to the Barça a team that can defend of the way that expects of a club of first level. And it is that when it seemed that the victory 2-0 to Osasuna in the Supercopa braked the bad series of goals fit, already are 11 the times that Iñaki Crag has had to collect the balloon of inside his goal in the last 4 parties.

The guardameta acting gives very good feelings with his reflections and placing, but the reality is that it delivers a lot of doubts when it has to move inside the area, especially in aerial balloons. As it happened in the 1-0 and in the 2-2 of the Athletic. Also it is necessary to take into account that the Barça has fit 4 goals before or immediately after the first minute of game, something that shows also a problem of intensity, concentration and little feeling of security that can perceive the rivals when they begin the parties.

The proper names of the team are not answering

Koundé And Araújo have been very irregular, but is that they also are used to to lose a lot of balloons in exit when it is a critical situation for a team that wants to try defend better. Frenkie Of Jong has showed that it does not have the defensive concepts to be the pivote of the team and offer this capacity to close spaces that needs . In general the extremes of the team can not presionar too well to the rival teams and the midfield lacks this defensive capacity, by what seems that the fault is of all, including the staff, or of anybody, if like this they wanted to it see also.
