Just a concession and the psychological goal

1. Just a concession and the psychological purpose

It is clear that in the first few minutes Athletic will release all his physical energy by touching the boat. The atmosphere was created, in the stands, but it remained to be seen whether the Catalans could ‘tame’ the game or the lions would terrorize the eleven Xavi Hernandez. The leader showed why the territory was difficult to reach Ter Stegen. As new things in Valverde’s team, Raul Garcia and Balenciaga. In the blaugrana group, Sergi Roberto right side and Ferran Torres Starting from the left wing. The ball was moving and as soon as we saw the first minutes we saw the difference: Busquets and Dejong they caught the fight while Daniel Garcia and vesga they cannot get ahead of their peers.

Laid by the lions Nico Williams in the zone of Sergi Roberto but without being able to bargain or deepen it. On the other hand, Balde achieved the same defensive income with Berenguer. Barça stands well with the imperials Koundé and Christensen (only one chance was given, a header from the crossbar by Raul Garcia) and the ‘loose end’ in Athletic’s grief: raphinha complicating things Balenciaga.

The Brazilian was the one who delivered the blow thanks to some previous feints from Busquets, outside the area, and a perfect right hand. The 0-1 in 45′. I work for Valverde.

2. Barca’s dominance is broken

Barça was superior on the ball but, going back to the first half, Ferran missed the first half of the game and Lewandowski or after receiving a wonderful inside pass from the omnipresent De Jong. Long control, covered by Agirrezabala. But the reward of the goal came back to put the fear, for the rivals, 0-1. It was that psychological strength that kept him going Gavi and the SOLIDARITY of everyone with him. In the cold and starting method provided by Ter Stegen, the leader overcame the minutes of the match without being dragged down by the ambient sound coming from La Catedral. Press, positions and finally, Bucket will land/hit the race. A perfect cross ends up being quite wide Lewandowski and Athletic was saved. Changes for Valverde with great success holy. From the captain’s entrance, the football is shorter, faster and more fluid. Instead, in Barça of Xavithe entrance of kessie rest Not reinforced or increased security.

3. Xavi needs to do homework on how to finish a match.

Within Athletic and his fans let loose the final arreón. It happened in the last 20 minutes and that’s where it failed kessie but they saved him Christensen, Ter Stegen and the post. Also holy He left his mark with a right-handed thread that was the best save of the night for the Barça goal. 0-1 is worth 9 points ahead and that is the leader’s biggest motivation.

Athletic are pushing their minds more than their legs and Valverde has centerers on the pitch. Yuri, Capa, Muniain, Nico Williams… Nothing, the best defense in the League allowed only one gallop with one goal from Inaki Williams but a former hand of holy returned 0-1 both to Barça and the numerator.

But the most exemplary defense was a local triple chance, same game, ultimately saved by Mark Alonso and, worst of all, bad decisions that waste no time. Great playing professionalism, some players are too young to read closing scores. In Classic at all.
