A point for each team after a very equalised meeting, in which the tactical approach of the Seville has not allowed the game of typical association of the FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona contested this Sunday, to the 21:00 hours, in the Camp Nou, the first of the meetings complicated that will have along the season. The team blaugrana confronted to the Seville FC, in the fifth day of LaLiga 2020-2021, team that does not achieve the victory like visitor in front of the Barça from does more than ten years.

From the moment in that Gil Manzano gave the pitido initial, any of the two teams achieved to do with an absolute control of the game. In spite of this, Luke of Jong, after finding a balloon in the centre of the area after the launching of a kickoff of corner, achieved to advance to the ones of Nervión with a shot of powerful volley with the left leg.

It did not last him a lot the joy to the Andalusian team, as two minutes later, after a trip of Lionel Messi, looking for to Jordi Alba, in one of his mythical connections, Coins did not achieve to clear with forcefulness and left the frank balloon so that Philippe Coutinho entered it at the end of the meshes of the team sevillista.

From this moment, both teams began to respect a bit more and the party turned into a fight of possessions in the centre of the field. Very few occasions had both teams to exception of a very dangerous centre of Jesús Navas, after a good pass to the space of Suso that finally Fernando did not arrive to push.

Unlike in the previous days, the FC Barcelona, in spite of having the possession of the balloon, did not achieve to have it in a really dangerous zone of the terrain of game. As well as Coutinho and Messi himself were protagonists during the first time, Ansu Fati and Griezmann were more missing although they launched desmarques tireless and generated spaces all the time.

A point for each team

The second time began of the same form that finalised the first. Lopetegui, in a tactical movement very interesting, decided to delete to the extremes, Lucas Ocampos and Suso to give him an opportunity to Youseff In-Nesryri and Munir the Haddadi. With the intervention of these two players, the pressure in contrary field of the Andalusians was much more effective.

By his part, it changes effected by Ronald Koeman were the predictable. In the first place, it gave him minutes to Francisco Trincao and Pedri, as it had done in the two previous days of LaLiga. It gives the feeling that the German technician has some changes predetermined instead of effecting them in the moment in that the meeting requires them.

Also it had the opportunity to debut like player blaugrana the recent signing Sergiño Dest. Alas, the reason of his entrance was the annoyances of Jordi Alba that it had to be substituted by the North American after fracasar in the attempt to control a very high balloon. Of unexpected form, Dest has had his first minutes of left side.

Finally, after a second part without a lot of occasions, any of the two teams has been able to do with the victory. More by defensive merit of the team sevillista that by demerito of the game of the group blaugrana, the third victory in LaLiga of the team of Ronald Koeman will have to expect to after the stop of selections.
