FC Barcelona is clear that this season should not and cannot end without a title, so after the elimination in the Copa del Rey the team must take a step forward in La Liga and the Champions League, two competitions in which the 'veterans' need to lead the squad
The FC Barcelona won LaLiga the past season thanks to the construction and consolidation of a XI headline that seemed to be already the definite for the project, or at least with a lot of names inside him that would keep in the time. However, these same fixed of the eleven headline and a lot of 'veteran' of the staff are having a current season more than irregular.
Like this, the Barcelona fans and the own staff technical of the team are in a position in which they can demand a greater performance of some important names of the entity, and especially of a proof in what they can offer during the parties and in the course in general. Footballers like Frenkie of Jong, Koundé or Robert Lewandowski have had big nights this season, but also others in which simply they seem only a reflection of the big player that in reality are.
Xavi has seen like his leaders suffer inside the field
The case of the Pole surely is the most evident because his role of goleador does him of easy analysis when reviewing his statistics and evidenciar easily that it is not being this ariete spectacular of does some months. However, Koundé also has remained to owe a lot of regarding defensive security, already was of head office or of side, and many times has been on the field totally desconectado of the intensity that have the rivals and his own mates.
The case of Of Jong seems to happen more by the fault of solidity of the system, since it is used to to do parties more than correct with a lot of frequency. But as also him sucede to Ilkay Gündogan, the big signing of the past vernao, does not find solutions on the field and finishes without being the determinant that the team needs, already was in an almost exclusive role of pivote or sharing this zone of the midfield with another player.
The Barça needs the best of each one of his headlines
In the list also is necessary to include to Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen, those who the previous course was surely one of the three better couples of head offices of Europe by the defensive security that delivered and right now seem totally desconectados and inert in the attacks of the rival, especially the Danish. Other two names are the ones of Pedri and Ferran Torres, that in spite of his youth yes that they are players in which the Barça bases a lot of his performance, and in the case of the Canarian has seen too affected by the injuries, something that has to leave backwards what before.
