Pre-crisis scenario – AS.com

undressed by unity y Cadiz at the Camp Nou, Barça, which it has become surprisingly again fragile as if he had suddenly turned into a pumpkin, he plays in the Royal Arena (9:30 p.m.) in the middle of a pre-crisis atmosphere that I did not contemplate a week ago (follow the match live on AS.com). Eliminated from the Europa League, and with the only cushion already pending against Rayo, he reaches Donosti sin too error range to secure a top four spot, his sadly understated season-low target evoking that famous communiqué of the last and cornered Ronald Koeman. “Miracles cannot be expected in the Champions League (…). Also, being ranked high in the league would be a success.” Wow, wow…

The Barca’s situationwhich is also indirectly affected by the businesses of Pique, who gave a histrionic press conference for Twitch an hour after the team of which he is the second captain lost 0-1 against Cadiz at home, spices up the match and stimulates Real, which despite the tie against Betis (0-0) issues best feelings and he has only missed, and it is the work of Isak and Sorloth, the goal. Real de Imanol likes to command in games and be the protagonist with the ball, but if Orio’s coach gives him the watch Barça matches contra Galatasaray, Unity o Cadiz, you may decide to change plans. The azulgrana have been a strainer in recent games. A victory de la Real, who has players with legs like Januzaj, Portu or Isak himself to harm Alves and Alba, would allow him something more than go to Betis in the classification. It would leave him two points from the Champions zone.

With the winter signings losing gas (Ferran has gone three games without scoring; Aubameyang has only scored against Levante; and Adama and Alves have even disappeared from the lineups), Xaviat least if rearm defensively. In addition to Piqué, Araújo returns, fundamental piece for Barça. The absence of the Uruguayan, still in the process of renewal, resulted determinant against Cádiza game in which Eric Garcia repeated Eintracht’s bad day and Lenglet confirmed that he has earned his transferable status.

Xavi He assures that his anger has already passed, but that has not prevented his players from taking a wake up call public Monday; and in private the next day, videos included. The coach, powerless against groups that have gotten behind him, turns his head to regain joy and energy in a team that has not been able to hide an importance Pedro’s dependency and that has been since the Bernabéu without finding the best De Jong. Barça transmitted terrible signals against Cádiz because it was a flan in defense and, in attack, a team turned to Dembélé’s individual war because there was no point in the game. Beyond the results of his rivals, the Barça is playing today to enter into crisis.
