For Xavi, the problems of play have been evident this season, but they also continue to accumulate without having been able to solve or reduce the previous ones. We review them below

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona seems to have begun to say him goodbye of definite way to LaLiga after leaving two points on the way this Sunday in front of the Granada (3-3). The culés could not with the second 'worse' team of the competition in Lluís Companys, but besides did gala of all the errors that have him to ten points of the leadership and almost sacking to repeat like champion, around the middle of February.

And it is that in this day 24, the Barça has left in evidence like his constant failures of face to goal, already was to finalise the played or to take this key decision that needs to leave freed to the better player positioned, but of course were not the only problems. The concentration that a team 'top' has to have at all times, especially when it is playing follow competing by a title, seems to be very far to go back to the team of Xavi Hernández and the goals fit like this reflected it.

The Barça is not able to keep to 100% of what asks him the party

The Barça seemed that it would leave to the rest with a 1-0 without too many problems and to the 43' all changed. Of there from now on the situation only was worsening for a Barça that saw like a feeble Granada was able to trace back him to the few minutes of initiated the second time, and once was able to do the 2-2, arrived another goal of the Andalusian team almost without effort. Something that besides almost repeats when the culés attained the 3-3, but finally Ter Stegen avoided it in that moment.

Inside all this reading of fault of intensity, and also of puntería and forcefulness to the hour to be able to define a party, or simply can control it to avoid new goals against, also goes in at stake the crisis of football that crosses the team. The exit of balloon of the Catalan team, for surprise of many, is every time worse. A trainer like Xavi, that changed the football in the club and in the world, has not been able to transmit the message in spite of having interpret them correct for this, or at least like this seemed it each weekend.

The fault of pressure finishes evidenciando much more the bad circulation of the balloon

The problem of game of the Barça begins from this first pass that Ter Stegen every time worse delivery, or Iñaki Crag when it was, with a Cubarsí that has gone of more to less in this appearance, a Frenkie of Jong that tries to solve it with his drivings, but little more sucede from there. In spite of the quality of his players, the Barça is not able to create played of constant way going out from his area and besides adds him to this the little intensity to be able to recover high and can jump this point of the game in some moments.

In almost any one defensive phase the team lacks intensity, and besides observes him too long and little worked to level of coverages. Clearly the injuries have had an impact, but also is true that this season has been a simply recurrent problem. Further of the names, in parties like the one of this Sunday, or the one of the Supercopa in front of the Madrid, or the one of the 3-5 in front of the Villarreal, many times there is not pivote going to cover the entrance to the area, the central neither are used to to cover of correct way to the sides, a situation that also repeats with the on duty Interiors.
