Time to demonstrate. Barça has the perfect opportunity to turn their season around with the arrival of the Spanish Super Cup, a single-match tie in which the culés will have to seek their place in the final against Osasuna
The FC Barcelona arrives to the Supercopa of Spain surely in one of the two or three more delicate moments since Xavi Hernández did charge of the team. The culés travelled to Saudi Arabia to seven points of the leadership in LaLiga EA Sports after completing the first turn, with problems in defence and an attack that does not finish to be reliable.
It is thus that the group blaugrana wants to do that the first opportunity to win a title this year can him suppose again a turning point in the middle of a season in which, for the moment, has gone always of more to less. As sucedió the previous course, the tournament that plays in Arab earths can suppose the first title of the season, being besides the first title of Xavi like trainer culé after the final won the past year.
A moment ideal so that the Barça can 'renacer'
That attainment finished being a successful sample for a Barça that shortly after went back to heave like champion of League, four years afterwards. Now, a year afterwards, the Barça looks for that the Supercopa of Spain suppose the same effect that the past season. And it is that the course of the team is not fulfilling with the expectations until the moment.
The Supercopa, in which they confront in semifinals to the, in the previous, rival more affordable, the CA Osasuna, will be the first attempt of a team that needs to improve the feelings after chaining already 20 meetings without attaining win by an upper advantage to a goal. Besides, the defensive registers of the Catalans do not approach neither of far to the ones of the past campaign, fitting already in 19 meetings suspender belts two goals more than all the past season.
Xavi, very clear with the confidence in his
Besides, the injuries are punishing to a team that arrives to the semifinal without Pedri, Ter Stegen neither Gavi, three of the best players in the title achieved the course happened in Arab earths, and Joao Cancel. With regard to the Portuguese side, and to the mediocampista Canarian, Xavi left the last hour on his respective injuries and how work in the staff culé for his returns to the field of game.
In his analysis of the party, the míster aimed that "we are favourite, but this goes to show it in the field. Osasuna Goes to be a rocky rival. We take the poster of favourite for the party of morning, but no for the competition", added Xavi. The technician culé ensured equally that has "full confidence in the players, are able, in important parties, in the majority, has given the size, but the team is prepared to compete", added.
Problems that the Barça expects to leave out of the field
It remains clear equally that the absences of headlines is not the only problem with which the technician egarense arrives to the meeting if we also add that the individualities of the Barça seem not giving this so necessary step forward in the maximum level. Robert Lewandowski has marked so alone two goals in his last 10 parties with the Barça. Neither they are fulfilling the expectations two of the big signings of the season: Joao Felix and Ilkay Gündogan.
Further of the doubts and problems of the team, the staff of 25 players summoned for the duel has exercised in the Stadium Prince Faisal, a distinct stadium to where will play the party against Osasuna. The meeting against the group navarro will play in the To the-Awwal Park, headquarters of the To the-Nassr of Cristiano Ronaldo, by what is possible that splits of the present fans do not go to support to the Barça in some moments of the party.
