All’s well That ends well. Barça will be in the draw for the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. Today almost nobody remembers that the only title with Koeman it was achieved after overcoming a first tie with extra time in Cornellà. Last night, in Linares, the meeting aired in 6 minutes, in what it took the inspired Dembele Y Jutglà to flip the scoreboard. Again, a short result due to the amount of opportunities for each other. Having more than 80% possession of the ball, giving more than 800 passes and suffering so much to defeat a team in the same category as Barça B is only explained by the indolence of the first half.
The play of the Linares goal is, as he said Xavi, “A concatenation of lack of concentration.” Neither Riqui ni Alba they do not come out to cover the center and Mingueza He rests on his laurels and does not even know where he is ahead of him Hugo Diaz. The worst of the first half: that the divided balls were taken by the local team due to intensity and hunger. Jutglà He said, after the meeting, “that the second half changed because we said things to each other”. Xavi, more prudent, he commented that in the talk at halftime he had said that he could talk about tactics for three hours but they were going to win that game by faith. And, having said that, he put Pique, Frenkie de Jong Y Dembele and the game changed from night to day. Faith moves mountains but aligning the best wins qualifiers
