The hangover of the defeat in Seville: Koeman's Barça continues to take steps forward

In spite of the defeat, the party against the Seville of this past Wednesday also left positive things. The most important is that this FC Barcelona, in spite of his problems in defence, of the drops and of all the sportive extra subjects, is much better instrument now that when it began the season. The Barça improves meeting to meeting and in Ramón Sánzhez Pizjuán showed an offensive system very interesting for what is for coming.

The blaugrana attack every time better the spaces thank you especially to Ousmane Dembélé, that is being fundamental, and to the vision of Leo Messi to find the arrivals of Jordi Alba or Frenkie of Jong. This is something that already came seeing these last weeks and that in Seville, although in lower measure by the very that worked the defence sevillista, also saw . Nevertheless, it is in the attack in static where the Catalans are giving more steps at the front.

Ronald Koeman​ has given with the key in the positional attack and every time uses better his pieces. Messi falls to the midfield to receive and the Dutch compensates this loss planting to Of Jong or Griezmann of '9', and putting to Pedri in 3/4 of field, to be the connector between Leo and the forward. This saw many times this Wednesday in Glass and is something that it is necessary to value very positively although it lost by a conclusive 2-0.

Besides, it is very interesting to see like the Dutch trainer uses to Dembélé, increasingly important in the disequilibrium. Also it fits to stand out the character that has printed him the technician to all his players, since orn split like the one of Seville, does some months, not even would have competed . Now, the ideas in the game are increasingly clear and the goal every time is more near. In spite of the 2-0, with the 1-0 in the marker the Barcelona were near of the tie in a lot of occasions, something that in front of a rival of the size of the ones of Julen Lopetegui, it is necessary elogiar.

The defence keeps on being the big Heel of Achilles of the Barça

But all the pasitos forward that is giving the Barcelona in attack and in the game of possession, gives them to backwards in defence, where the barcelonistas go on doing waters. In this occasion, Samuel Umtiti was the most signalled by his two errors in the two so many of the hispalenses. However, the French is not the centre of the problem, since this type of errors also have committed them more than once Jordi Alba, Clément Lenglet, Sergiño Dest or even Gerard Hammered.

The defensive system of the Barça was sustaining more or less thanks to Ronald Araújo, that is a system in himself same. The charrúa arrives to almost everything, corrects the failures of almost all his mates and is a safe to open field. Without him, this system went to rack and ruin, as already sucedió in Granada when lesionó. Besides, Sergio Busquets follows having grave problems to the hour to defend to his sides and this penalises always to the Barcelona when they leave spaces. In summary, these lagoons condemned to the ones of Koeman in Seville, but do not have to do forget the good things, that also had them.
