To understand the big mejoría of the FC Barcelona in the last weeks, it is necessary to take into account a key factor: the goals fit. In the last five parties, culminated all they with Barcelona victory, the ones of Valverde have annotated 13 goals and Ter Stegen so only has received two targets, one against the Villarreal in LaLiga Santander and another in front of the Inter of Milan in Champions League.
Comparing this statistics to the one of the five first parties of the campaign 2019-20, when the guardameta German fit nine goals in this first batch of crashes, the difference remains clear. The FC Barcelona has known to put bolt to his goal and stop the bloodletting of goals that was receiving in the two first months of the season, thing that has allowed him recover the confidence also in other respects of the game.
The solidity backwards has allowed that the team have of more possession of balloon and deploy better in the front of attack, playing with a greater order but without falling in the horizontalidad. To the Barça generate him less oportunides of danger and, by against, the culés have of more occasions of goal. The effect accordion has benefited to the Barça regarding results, and these results serve to give greater confidence to the players.
It treats of a positive wheel that has planted to the FC Barcelona in full ascending line, without that anybody dare to put ceiling to the culés. The defeat suffered against the Granada in The Cármenes (2-0) was essential so that the team, after the hard hit anímico, did self-criticism and centred in cicatrizar his wounds. In the following parties followed suffering, especially in front of Villarreal and Inter of Milan, but in the two last weeks the combined Barcelona has given a qualitative jump. It has kept the goal to zero in front of Getafe, Seville and Eibar, keeping intact the gunpowder up.
The reaction, curiously, has arrived with the FC Barcelona decimated in defence. Jordi Alba was some weeks out of fight by injury, Junior Firpo woke up doubts before lesionarse also, and so much Lenglet as I Hammered have lost a party each one by sanction. Sergi Roberto, right side headline in front of the Eibar, has been the last in going to the infirmary.
A greater contribution of the centre of the field
In spite of the setbacks the FC Barcelona has known to improve his provision backwards, thank you also to a greater contribution of the players of the centre of the field. Busquets is increasingly entonado after a start of irregular season, whereas Of Jong and Arthur have settled like indisputable headlines with an excellent performance in the last weeks. Little by little, the Barcelona machinery has gone greasing and already surrenders to cruising speed.
