The defeat of the FC Barcelona against the Girona has left very 'touched' to the changing room culé. The long faces of the footballers after the derbi Catalan retorted in the session of the Monday thinking in the duel of the Wednesday by Champions in front of the Royal Amberes (21:00 CEST), a party in where they expect massive rotations when treating of a rival of lower hierarchy and with a totally favourable context. The Barça arrives with the classification to eighth ensured and the leadership of the group practically in the pocket.
In this sense, the team has to understand that the actuality in Europe is positive and the situation in LaLiga is not so dramatic. The Girona escaped to seven points, but the Madrid is to five and still subtract three days to culminate the first turn. However, to the players has seen them the Monday in the Ciutat Esportiva of Sant Joan Despí with the quite low spirits. Further of the result, the feelings are not good after falling in front of a Girona that, by moments, went clearly upper in front of which supposed was the best eleven that Xavi can range in this moment.
The ghosts of the Barça reappeared after two good parties
For the Barça, the problem roots in having repeated errors that seemed to have resolved after two good victories in front of Port wine and Athletic of Madrid. The first part in front of the 'colchoneros' was brilliant and, further to suffer some stretches in both meetings, so much the staff like the technical body understood that that was the way to be followed of here from now on, but the Girona undressed grave defensive lacks that follow without having solution this season.
Although the party was of gone and turn from beginning to end, something that allowed him to the Barça patear until in 31 occasions (15 to door) in the 90 minutes, the feeling of frustration was evident after a crash that resolved by efficiency. The ones of Míchel arrived less and converted four so many, whereas the Barça went back to waste a lot of occasions to the pair to award too many eases backwards. With childish defensive errors and little puntería in attack, is clear that the Barça of the 23/24 is not for the big appointments. And this has very concerned to the changing room, because the weeks happen and the solutions do not appear.
The Amberes, the best balsam for the 'crisis'
Although it is clear that Xavi will do important rotations, the visit to the Amberes can suppose an ideal balsam in this moment for a Barça lacking of confidence. The feeble Belgian champion does not have to suppose a greater obstacle to obtain another victory holgada (in the day 1 was 5-1) just before an uncomfortable visit the Saturday to Valencia. Afterwards they come Almería (house) and The Palms (was) to close the 2023. The calendar, at last, seems to give him a hand to the culés.
