In general lines, could say that the FC Barcelona played to a grandísimo level against the Valency in Mestalla, especially in a first-half that went of the best that have contested this season 2017-18 for the culés, independently that the marker finished 0-0 after the first 45 minutes (Churches Villanueva had big part of fault).
In spite of everything, can say that three players culés were not of the all fine in terrain of game valencianista. It can that it was a cuestón of dynamics, but the case is that it treats of footballers that already carry some time without being to his best level, surely by distinct reasons although the main have to see with the psychological factor. Desgranamos The performances of Luis Suárez, Semedo and Gerard Deulofeu:
Luis Suárez
The Uruguayan forward marked a 'doublet' in the last day of League against the Leganés, but in front of Valencia went back to show signs of unrest to the desentonar with the game of the rest of the team, ralentizarlo with the balloon in the feet and not being at all precise neither in the shots neither in the combinations. Neither in the desmarques, since it fell offside in infinity of occasions.
Gerard Deulofeu
The aim of Valverde with his entrance in the second half was to open the field and take advantage of the contragolpe, but the true is that Deulofeu was not at all fine without the balloon and neither with him. It lost each possession that touched, was imprecise in the controls and did not raise the head to take the best decisions. In defence, arrived late to the pressure and committed some ridiculous and dangerous fault.
Nelson Semedo
It can not say that it played a bad party, but yes is true that carries some weeks without being the level of the principle of the season. Possibly owing to the tiredness -carries several consecutive parties playing almost all the minutes-, saw surpassed in multiple occasions by Gayá and Guedes, and in fact the goal of Valencia arrived by his band. It was not neither too precise with the balloon.
