“Barça plays badly, it's not scary, it's boring and it doesn't score”

Omar da Fonseca, a former Paris Saint-Germain footballer and now a commentator for Bein Sports, has a “clear favorite” for the clash between the Parisians and Barcelona in the next Champions League and this is PSG.

At Le Parisien, Da Fonseca analyzed the current state of Barcelona and criticized the Catalans harshly. “It is the worst of all time. They have good players but they do not fit together and also, there is no rational explanation. Barça plays badly, it is not scary, boring and does not score. All the shortcomings are amplified. Normally, there is a basis on which the one where inspiration unfolds. Now, go to Griezmann, Messi, Busquets, Lenglet, Alba … How are these players now? On Sunday they were a disaster against Levante “He states first.

For Fonseca, Barcelona has lost its identity and is no longer as superior as previous years. “Before there was control, possession, imbalance. Now it's all passivity, it's predictable, to fall asleep. Nobody can say that Griezmann, Messi and Coutinho are bad but I think they are incompatible. Griezmann did not play badly but does not overflow. Neither does Messi. In addition, he wants to continue dribbling but can no longer and continue to insist on that way of playing. Cristiano understood better that he had to stick to scoring goals, “he adds.

The match against Levante, he believes, was symptomatic. “They ended up with three centrals and in the discount, Ter Stegen caught a ball and kissed it as if it were incredible. It shows in things like that … They are in a panic situation. Barça is not in the shadows, it is that don't find the light directly About this game, your name doesn't matter, you can't go home thinking you played well. Barça borders on the ridiculous this season. Against Getafe, Cádiz … There is a total drought “, explained about the victory of the culés before the granotas.

Thus, he dared to give a forecast with some reserve about the Champions League tie. “Nobody knows what will happen in February but, seeing the current state of things and if you have to choose a clear favorite, that is Paris Saint-Germain,” he says.

In the middle of the search for the culprits, the name of Ronald Koeman appears, who is charged with his share of responsibility but who questions his decisions. “He is not responsible at all but he has to add value. His job is to turn good players into very good ones and very good players into untouchables. Today Barça has 20 regular players. On Sunday, Braithwaite, the only center forward they have. , played on the left. It is neither Lewandowski nor Benzema, but he has shown that he is capable of playing at the top and hurting defenses. Sometimes coaches do things from their tablet or computer that normal viewers are not able to understand, “he said.
