Barça qualified first in the group for the round of 16 of the Champions League, after two years of going to the Europa League. That’s clear. For Xavi It was a goal achieved and the defeat against Antwerp did not hurt. The footballers, it was said in the preview, were very angry at the defeat in Girona and wanted a reaction in Europe. It didn’t happen. There’s been a transition: anger has passed among fans who have long said that what matters is how. Barça didn’t do well there. That’s dark. Xavi He has a job. And the footballers too. Barça is characterized by highlighting the failures of a certain person (and don’t let anyone be fooled, as well as the successes) that it is difficult for them to share the truth. It’s easier and more liberating to point out evil to someone, but this game is still a collective project.
The majority of Barcelona fans no longer want to enjoy the classification in Europe but rather worry about the football played and the results, because in the last two matches there are two defeats, certainly one is more painful than the other, yes, but there is no inflection point. We will wait for Valencia. There is a sense of kick forward, but nothing to hold for improvement. The return of Peter and De Jong There seems to be hope. It lasted one game. More time is needed. It is possible, but the details also have to be believed and they are given especially by young people like the good game of Lamine Yamal or the purpose of Guiubut that’s against the bad timing of Romeo and of Koundé.
This Barça does not get the best out of the locker room and goes through a temporary slump for longer than expected in a club like the Blaugrana who are forced to win by playing well every three days. We have to defend better, press better, attack better. That’s right Xavi where nothing is lost. The coach has the credit (Barça is the League champion) to return it even if he does not enjoy the necessary support from some sectors. The players are pissed and now the fans are quite a lot. You have to show that anger to change the dynamic. It’s in Valencia.
