An in-depth look at the problems that have left Barça without the Copa del Rey and the Super Cup

It seems clear that the FC Barcelona has gone in in a crisis of this season. Further of if it will be more or less deep, since his degree of gravity can alter with what suceda in the next meetings, seems innegable is that the Barcelona team is not having neither much less a good season, and seems evident also that it does not exist an alone problem inside this situation.

Like this they say it the numbers, show it the facts, and besides perceives with the feelings that delivers the team during almost in each party that contests. The team of Xavi follows without being able to return to this good version of the previous course, which had a quite constant performance that besides served him to win LaLiga after four years and remain also with the Supercopa of Spain.

But right now, and after the defeat in the final in front of the Madrid in Arabia does a pair of weeks and now the elimination in the quarter-finals of the Glass of Rey, seems necessary to do a review on the reasons that can be affecting directly the level of the team. After fitting a new goal before the minute of game, far to be the first in this season, is more than evident that the Barça is having problems of intensity and concentration, something that can be due to the attitude of the players, but also to a failure of the technical body in the sessions of works or previous talks to the duels.

The Barça does not achieve to be really dangerous for his rivals

Also it seems clear that the Barça does not have a circulation of balloon that do that the rival think twice before going to presionar, and raisin the same in contrary sense, the pressure of the team is not the sufficiently effective as so that the players of the another team decide to send the balloon in long before losing the possession in a zone of risk. In fact, the party in front of the Athletic was the clearest reflection of all what explains .

The Basques were stronger to the balloon divided in each opportunity that had and like this were imposing his style during the party, doing that Frenkie of Jong could not play comfortable in any moment and doing that the culés had to retreat lines during several minutes not to receive the 3-2 during the last 20 minutes of party in front of the speed of the attacks that built. Also it is necessary to clear that the level of several footballers is not the best does already several weeks, already was that they begin in the XI or go in from the bench.

The idea of game of Xavi seems increasingly difficult of decifrar

Xavi simply has not been able to find again a team that can go out by heart, largely also by the injuries, but besides because Ferran does a big party, but afterwards no so much, the same for Joao Félix or Lewandowski. With players like Balde or Gündogan is sucediendo the same, to the equal that a Pedri that clearly still is not in his best version.

The idea of game of Xavi, added to his difficulty to define if it bets by the 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2 with the square in the midfield seems that simply it does not attain to convince to the players, or these are not able to interpret them. Jules Koundé is another name that has left a lot that wish after a big start, adding also in this group to a Raphinha that besides has gone through the infirmary in two occasions and began LaLiga with a suspension by red direct.
