Ter Stegen, the luck and three sticks 'save' to the Barça against the PSV

At all fine was the FC Barcelona in the first-half against the PSV Eindhoven. Although the ones of Ernesto Valverde attained to approach in some occasion until the goal of Zoet, and so much Arturo Vidal like Dembélé had of clear occasions ofgoal , the true is that the PSV Eindhoven was the team that more danger generated with his contragolpes and direct game.

With a Luuk of Jong that went down all the aerial balloons and finished it everything, joined to the speed of Bergwin, Hirving Lozano and the puntería of Gastón Pereiro from out of the area, the team of Mark Go Bommel put in a lot of difficulties to Marc-André Ter Stegen, the one who during the first chamber of hour saw forced to take part until in two occasions.

First it detained a shot of fault of Gastón Pereiro, and afterwards a shy shot of Luuk of Jong from out of the area. This was the easiest, since in the back minutes the PSV Eindhoven would have of until three sticks. One after an error garrafal of Rakitic when it tried to take out the balloon, leaving the spherical died in the aledaños of the area.

Gastón Pereiro collected the ball and, in the minute 16, starred a shot that crashed in the wood and did not go in by very little. Traspasada The half hour of game, a finish of head of Luuk of Jong, followed of a shot of Dumfries point-blank, had also the same denouement. The two Dutch players of the PSV shot to the stick, and the Barça saved by a hair's breadth.

To Ernesto Valverde, as it is natural, did not like him at all the attitude parsimoniosa of his players in the first-half, taking into account that the FC Barcelona was playing the first position of the Group B of Champions League, and independently of the fact to be already classified for the eighth of final of mathematical form. In spite of the drops, the Barça had the obligation of as minimum mark in the Philips Stadion.

The Barça, infected by the cold in the Philips Stadion

And the first-half left the feeling of a team something adormilado, perhaps infected also by the cold of Holland. It arrived with a lot of absences, is true, but the eleven that took out the 'Txingurri' to the field was of gala. An alignment done to win to any team, and that starred too many imprecisions in the passes, in zones besides very dangerous. Open party, in any case, for the second part.
