Such a long season will always have ups and downs, although in the case of Barça the moments of worst performance have always coincided with the increase in injuries to their best players.
The FC Barcelona has seen 'disappear' his offensive football, but especially his creativity to the hour of destrabar the parties in the last weeks. These meetings, that include two 0-0 consecutive and the 0-4 in front of the Real Madrid in the Glass of Rey, have seen like the ones of Xavi have not been able to if it want to find goal in three meetings followed (first time in 15 years), and the answer seems that it is in the infirmary.
Except that disaster in front of the Madrid, the Barcelona defence has followed answering, but after surpassing to Busquets, the things have left to work. If it was necessary to find guilty for this situation would not be too complicated to darse that the technical body Catalan is suffering with the drops of Dembélé, Pedri and Frenkie of Jong.
The societies have gone losing
In this same order the three footballers were falling lesionados in this 2023 and any has been able to return to the field of game to offer his best virtues in the offensive game of the Barça. The French, the one who is went from the end of the month of January, left 'orphan' to Robert Lewandowski, that until the day of today follows showing that it can not create all the occasions in case only.
A '9' of race like the Pole takes advantage of of the spaces that generate his mates and in this the Frenchman is a specialist, something in what Raphinha remains a so much short, in spite of sharing some characteristics with the '7' culé. Of the another side, or said better, a bit further back, Pedri and Of Jong have left to Xavi without his best mediocampistas creative.
It requires with urgency of the jugones of the Barça
Although each one takes advantage of a distinct place of the half of the field during the parties, the Barça without the two has happened of the solidity to the irregularity and distrust of face to the rival goal. The Canarian already will fulfil two months of drop, whereas for the Dutch already will be four weeks, although in the case of both his return seems so prompt like the next weekend.
Although the culés follow keeping an advantage more than considerable on the Real Madrid, and to fault of 9 days the title does not seem to be in risk, the meeting in front of the Athletic of Madrid will serve like a big proof, return or no the two interiors. In the case to be, will leave in evidence the dependency of players like them, and in the case of not to do it -and have a new trip-, surely will follow the problems for Xavi.
