The strategy against, a pending issue for Xavi's Barça

Another game that eludes the Barcelona for a set piece action. This time in Granada, practically at the last minute. The defensive strategy is the pending issue that Xavi Hernández has because it is costing him too many troubles. Of the eight goals conceded in the league since he came to the bench, five have been slate actions.

The one this Saturday from Puertas is a second play but after a corner kick. The ball is left behind and the Granada player is alone and has time to settle down and get the ball into the squad.

In this sense, according to the DTT of Catalunya Ràdio, the Barça It is the team that has conceded the most goals so far in the league from set pieces. A total of 10 targets against have come from strategy, an aspect clearly to work and improve.
