I watched the Super Cup final at home, with optimism and confidence, hoping to see a win of Barça when the two teams arrived. I told my son that I thought we would win easily, after seeing Madrid against Villarreal and especially in the semifinal against Valencia. But this is a real wiggle of Xavi’s, a full display against a team they completely nullified.
Madrid’s midfield does not exist, they are very soft and they were unable to build a game or counter Barcelona’s. The Barcelona team, on the other hand, it is very good at all the facets: when pressing and recovering close to the Madrid area, in fast and vertical attack and also defending. This team is very effective in LaLiga when it comes to not conceding goals. The Barcelona game was very well planned.
In the wilderness moment of this seasonBefore the World Cup, there were times when Madrid was better, it’s true, but I think Barcelona really have a better team, they have a lot more to choose from. Y I don’t say at the end of the Super Cup, before Barcelona had a very good first half, although later some of the second was not so good. In any case, the Super Cup confirmed that Barcelona is going up and Madrid is going down.
there is some keys to that efficiency at the Arabian party. Madrid lost individual duels, lost in pace, lost in football and Barça was better in position, with a good strategy of four midfielders.
In Xavi’s team he has to win this competition. It is true that it is the Super Cup, it is not a major trophy and at the end of the season other titles will determine the evaluation, but for Barcelona it is a victory with great value.
It’s a competition under normal conditions, if you lose, not much happens and if you win, it serves as fertilizer for the record. For example, if he is not there no equivalent sextet, but in its own campaign you are not saved. But if you lose it against the greatest rival and the singing they did against you, it’s different.
In Madrid this tournament at the end it has done more harm than good. And Barça is encouraged: its win against Valencia will be good, period. Against Madrid, it was important. Now the Barca has a good chance, because of the newness, because of the euphoria he got and because Xavi is developing his dream team and from there you can make changes, introducing changes in a busy time. If he focuses well in the league games, he can take advantage in the coming weeks.
About if it is better for Barcelona Whether that base team has four midfielders or two open ends, that depends a lot on the circumstances. I always say that in football you win or lose in areas, but you dominate in the middle of the field. Barça dominated from start to finish against Madrid, playing with four midfielders. In other parties, you will get better at playing with three strikers. It has template variants that can be combined.
