It can say that the FC Barcelona has not returned, after the last stop of selections, to the same level of game of the first two thirds of the season. And partly it results logical, taking into account that the legs begin to weigh and that the physical wear of the last months is doing mella in some of the players that more minutes load to his backs.
Like proof, suffices with seeing the first part that made this Tuesday the FC Barcelona in the Olympic of Rome. True is that it attended to the turn of chambers of Champions League with a 4-1 very favourable in the eliminatory, but the 1-0 of the 'giallorossi' to the term of the first-half remained short, because of the big quantity of approaches of the 'giallorossi'.
To the Barcelona was missing him intensity and concentration
The Barcelona was not to the height in defence, awarding too many grantings to players like Edin Dzeko in the balloons in depth and also in the aerial game. Because, in addition to marking the first goal of the party to the five minutes, Dzeko had also of a clear opportunity in a finish of head that Marc-André Ter Stegen achieved to clear to corner.
There was lacking of understanding between some players, and the centre of the field of the FC Barcelona also saw something resentful, without making the helps and coverages to time in a lot of occasions. Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, in definite, were too many solos in the front of attack and hardly could generate danger to the edge of the goal of Alisson.
The party played in the field of the Barcelona
The only dangerous occasion of the FC Barcelona arrived, in fact, to the three minutes of party, with a shy shot of Sergi Roberto that went to goal, but that Alisson did not have problems in blocar. Shortly after it would arrive the goal of Dzeko and the rest of opportunities of the romanistas.
The FC Barcelona did not go back to kick to goal in all the first-half, and the party played much more in Barcelona terrain that in the field of the ones of Eusebio Gave Francesco. It is clear, then , that the ones of Ernesto Valverde will have to meditar -and recover strengths- during the next days so that this type of situations do not go back to repeat. They are at stake the titles by which has struggled during all the season.
