BARÇA 'REMEMBER' NEW PROBLEMS
Worrying fragility and 'passotism' in Barça's defense
FC Barcelona has been reunited with 'old' problems and the umpteenth dilemma in its defensive rear. The culés were condemned, with four goals conceded, and leaving more doubts than certainties
The FC Barcelona has reencontrado with old ghosts. And they have settled in a night in which, in spite of the effort, is complicated to achieve positive conclusions. The Barcelona team has gone back to leave symptoms of defensive problems, this that so much had helped in the past season to win the title of LaLiga in the past season. Against the Girona, went four the goals fit... But they could be varied more?
It was an extremely passive presentation of the Barça to defensive level. And it saw reflected in too many occasions. It has seen contrariado and with too many problems. They finished paying it very expensive... But it is necessary to go by parts. Xavi Hernández bet by the defence that better results had given him in the last weeks, keeping the bet by Joao Cancel in the left side, to Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen like head offices and Jules Koundé by the right-handed band. In the second half, bet by Alejandro Balde that played like left-handed head office and lived in no man's land.
The Girona, beginning, gave a lot of problems by the bands. Especially by the right with the presence of Savinho and Miguel Gutiérrez, two of the stars of the party. Koundé Did not have rest kept demanded constantly, but remained especially signalled in the 1-3, of Valery, because it could not close in his arrival after Stuani won him the duel áreo to Araújo, the one who also has remained very 'touched' in this played.
Of the frustration to the passivity of the defenders
The charrúa has remained frustrated. Symptom that prejudices him and that has him 'left' in his worst performance in long. That it removed the mask, that protected him of his small fracture in the jaw, has been the clearest proof. Araújo Has not been comfortable, all the contrary. It has been toneless in the duels and, in more than an occasion, lost balloons and was not hit in the 1vs1.
Andreas Christensen neither has left a very positive performance, in spite of that 'justified' by the little preparation that has had. It has fallen in the passive dynamics of the team, to the equal that a Joao Cancel that it has remained quite signalled after the goal that opened the marker because Tsygankov, that won him in career to pleasure. It is not a secret that, to defensive level, follows without being a reliable player... Without mattering the band by which play.
