Cádiz – Barcelona Barça commits suicide in Cádiz

In the first game that Koeman had indicated as the start of a streak to regain positions in LaLiga, Barça committed suicide against a Cádiz that exploited all the miseries of a team that never knew how to play against the Andalusians, who with their 2-1 victory are already fifth in the table, while Koeman's men once again distance themselves from their hypothetical rivals, that they won their parties with much more trade than that shown by the Catalans. Barça once again offered its more gray and headless version.

Barcelona offered Cádiz the dreamed departure stage. Álvaro Cervera's men had a plan that was based on hiding behind and despairing of Barça in creating the game. And then, if that, try to make the virgin appear to them and look to do harm on the rare occasions they had.

Barça provided them with everything they wanted in a match approach that he remembered from the beginning like a drop of water to another to the game that was tied in Vitoria against Alavés. If then, Barcelona crowded in the center, the same thing happened at Carranza. If he gave away a goal against Alavés Piqué at the end of the first half, in Cádiz, It was Mingueza who was very soft in the defense of an absurd corner given by Dest which made life difficult for Ter Stegen so that after 8 minutes the locals took the lead on the scoreboard.

With the score ahead, Cádiz continued to see how the game was the desired one while Barça continued to play as Álvaro Cervera would have liked: with Messi and Griezmann getting in the way, without open wings, with Busquets and De Jong not knowing how to interpret the game and with Coutinho playing again to the rhythm of a match of veterans of the Switzerland'54 World Cup.

Cádiz, a team used to enduring and defending meager advantages tooth and nail, overcame the obstacles that appeared in their way such as Mauro's injury after half an hour that left Fali, former Barça B, and Alcalá, former Girona as central.

Barça tightened with Messi being the only beacon of the team. The Argentine had a couple of fouls in the first half, but still cannot overcome the rivals' strategies to conjure up their shots. The other option to create danger on the part of Barça was to take advantage of the stopped balls and give Cádiz the same medicine that he had administered, but the danger of Barça at the exit of the corner kicks would not scare even a three-year-old child.

It was urgent to change things at Barça and Koeman began the second half by withdrawing Mingueza and Coutinho to give entry to Pedri and Dembélé, with which De Jong went on to play as a center-back and Barça exhibited a huge offensive potential that bottled Cádiz in about ten suffocating first minutes of the second half that ended with the equalizer in collaboration between Alcalá and Alba after Messi's assistance.

When it seemed that Barça had everything in favor to come back, the second shot came to the foot of the blaugrana in a comic film play in which Alba, Lenglet and Ter Stegen converted a throw-in in favor of a gift that Negredo did not miss to score the second on an empty goalseconds after entering the field.

In desperation, Pjanic and Trincao entered, increasing the Blaugrana chaos to the joy of the Andalusians, happy in their defense of a castle that Ledesma kept with the concentration that the Barcelona team did not have.
