Alejandro Balde is still unconvincing and once again had another irregular match in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid. The full-back had the opportunity to act as the winger that Barça needed, but he showed little incisiveness and was incorrect with the ball.

To Xavi went out him badly the bet with the training without extremes that posed in the final of the Supercopa in front of the Real Madrid. The team was very disordered in the terrain of game with this new diagram, and the whites 'did blood' and ran over to the Barcelona with a conclusive 4-1. The technician of Terrassa looked for to take advantage of this fault of extremes so that Balde acted like carrilero and hurt by the left band. Far of this, the canterano Barcelona went back to leave another irregular performance and went totally inofensivo by the left lane.

The young player culé was not to the height of the meeting and cuajó a very poor party. Although it is true that showed brave in the incursions by the left lane, did not penetrate to the end like him is used to to do, and the balloons that put in the area were very little precise and served of rather little. The international with the Spanish selection went back to seed doubts on his state of form and leaves clear that is very far of the Balde of the past season.

Opportunity wasted for Balde

With the injury of Cancel, the Hispanic-guinean had the opportunity to go back to win the confidence of Xavi. The technician gave him his vote of confidence and attributed him an important role. In the final, had to act like extreme, but hardly arrived to act like side. Carvajal Measured him very well the intentions and kept it to line all the party.

In fact, the Barcelona no only did not hurt in attack but in the repliegues defensive was quite slow and left descolgada his position in some occasion, something that happened bill to the ones of the City Condal. Xavi, after the party, explained the a lot of that has suffered the team in the defensive tasks: "it Has been the tonic of this season, have suffered a lot the contras of the Madrid, the transitions, the hammered of Vinicius... Concede two goals in 10 minutes is very difficult to win a final. We have not gone out with the level of necessary activation."

The player of 20 years has desaprovechado his opportunity and, with the irregularity that is showing this season, is likely that enjoy of fewer minutes now that the calendar goes back more demanding. Besides, Joao Cancel could go back of his injury in the next meeting of Glass of the King in front of the Unionistas, delegating to Alejandro to the bench and sinking it more in the bad dynamics that is carrying.
