Between flashy signings, millionaire levers, euphoric presentations and good performances in the preseason, signed by the win against Pumas in Gamper, euphoria overflowed the atmosphere of Barça before the league debut against Rayo. And that’s not a bad thing because culé fans fell for it last season and it’s not a plan to continue in that line. In fact, upon their arrival at the stadium yesterday, the players were able to verify the level of excitement of the Barcelona fans, who were waiting for them in great numbers to cheer them on. However, later on that field did not see the outpouring that was in the stands.
Barça are superior to Rayo, put to the test Dimitrievsky and scored several goals disallowed for offside, in addition to doubling the opponent’s possession percentage. However, there is no sense of hunger, considering that despite being the first game in the league and with 37 days to go, yesterday’s three points were as decisive as a Clásico.
Barça dominated but didn’t intimidate, they created chances but it wasn’t a whirlwind, a shredder. The ball wasn’t moved at a devilish pace either Lewandowski he has many death passes to execute the goalkeeper. And Barça need that, especially against smaller rivals. Against the big ones, obviously, it is necessary to suffer, but against those who cannot fail in the League is against the modest ones. Camp Nou must be a torture rack for them. And yesterday was not. That the players are applying, what squad should give and take.
