Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona tieed up a disappointing tie in his duel against the Seville, and the changing room still does not know how react. Ones, as Gerard Hammered, showed pessimistic after the meeting because the leadership of LaLiga already only depends on the possible errors of the Real Madrid, and others, as Quique Setién and Marc-André ter Stegen, warned that it remains a lot and trusted that if it wins everything, there will be Barcelona celebration.

Fans and experts lived feelings found after an odd crash in Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. By a part, can not say that the culés played badly, because they dominated during several phases of the party and had of good occasions to annotate. But by the another, complicated in some dangerous errors and the point does not seem sufficient booty before a week of crazy in which no longer there is margin of error.

After a day of rest to freshen the head and the legs, the Catalans will have to reflexionar on the trip and raise the head to face the next challenges, since Athletic Club, Celtic of Vigo and Athletic of Madrid show in the horizon. The míster has to improve the tarpaulins that achieved in territory sevillista and stand out the failures, because know them will be the best form not to go back to repeat them.

The conclusions of the Seville-Barça

Positive

  • Good game: During near of half hour, the Barça was the group dominador, decided and solid that expects in the battle by the titles, and made a very complete performance. Hardly it left gap for an isolated opportunity of Jules Koundé and overwhelmed to an opponent that drowned between the pressure visitor and his own imprecisions. It kept the possession, looked for the goal and showed active and hit in the pressure after loss, what allowed him show with frequency to the area defended by Thomas Vaclik.
  • Pressure after stray: In this same period, one of the keys was the quoted pressure after loss, that was missing because it did not execute with the order and the necessary conviction. The wear of footballers like Luis Suárez, Arturo Vidal and Ivan Rakitic helped to Sergio Busquets that happened less difficulties that of habit, and that collaborated to shut to the hipalenses and look for the 0-1 with ahínco.
  • Better defence, less unemployed: Although it can not say that this season was brilliant, in Seville himself improved a lot the defence, that seems to have recompuesto after the stop. In front of an opponent of maximum level, could not avoid of the all escapes and approaches, but only there were real difficulties to the start of the second time, with an insistence of the men of Julen Lopetegui that translated in two shots of Lucas Ocampos and Munir The Haddadi. Marc-André ter Stegen answered well and later Sergio Reguilón neither arrived to upset him.
  • Goal to zero: It Is necessary to value also that the good placing, the atinada pressure and the repliegue finish giving his fruits, since it would not be the first time that Ter Stegen leaves mosqueado by the high degree of effectiveness of the opponents. The one of Mönchengladbach answered when it did fault and also did it his mates, that protected him of some dangerous attempts to the counterattack.
  • Return of Suárez: Between the subjects to celebrate is the return of Luis Suárez, an essential piece in the offensive gear of the Barça. It had thrown him too much of less in the last months and this Friday could not be determinant, but left good feelings. Had occasions, was about to to mark, opened ways so that his mates attacked and even held the 90 minutes without setbacks when many thought that it still needed a time to be able to hold efforts of this magnitude.

Refusals

  • It was missing depth: The data of 'Opt' confirm that the Barça carried the inciativa in front of the Seville, but there is a dangerous tendency in his command. It gave 722 passes, had 88% of tarpaulin and 64,1% of possession, but only 193 of these sendings were to forward. It was missing disequilibrium already went with dribblings or with something more than verticality in the touch. Setién Withdrew to Martin Braithwaite that was atascado, but no played it to him with an Ansu Fati that it could have contributed more depth.
  • A disordered attack: The best feelings of the Barcelona were until the first pause for the hydratation, and between drink and drink no longer returned. His intensity and research of spaces disappeared and the Andalusians recovered terrain, but even after the exit of Arthur, that contributed oxygen, no longer there were ideas to upset to Vaclik. The touch fast of the first-half left step to an attack precipitated and imprecise more typical of a traced back in the minute 80, and there was crowd of actions with little sense. It centred more by inertia that by conviction and, as it was to expect, the strategy did not give resulted.
  • Setién Remained without ideas: Directly related with the previous is the fault of reaction of Setién, that remained without ideas to reactivate to his. The exit of the Brazilian midfield player was a tarpaulin of the míster, but Antoine Griezmann, that jumped to the terrain of game in the minute 77, and Riqui Puig, that showed in the 88, hardly had time to take part. The images of television showed to the Cantabrian almost knock# down in the bench, with face of frustration and with the feeling that had the fans, that smelt from did while a tie without goals.
  • Few changes: To follow chaining ideas, fits to stand out that the few changes that did the trainer also do to suspect to the followers. Or there is more touched of what seems or the preparador of Santander trusts little in the canteranos, something that already him sucedía to Ernesto Valverde that warned in several occasions that were very green. The bad planning is an evident ballast from does too many months, but is complicated to face what remains of campaign knowing that they can not neither take advantage of the five replacements allowed.
  • The leadership in check: In other circumstances, a tie against a rival of calado like the Seville would be relatively positive, but no in a League in which the 'goal-average' with the Real Madrid is lost. If the whites surpass to the Real Sociedad, will equalise to points to the Barça but will be by in front thanks to the Classical of Santiago Bernabéu, and will depend on his own results to reach the day 38 like champions.
