The Barça of Valverde also knows to kick from out of the area

If something showed the FC Barcelona against the Valency in Mestalla, is that it no longer is that team that the past season went out with fear to the most complicated fields. The Barça of Valverde showed a version inmejorable in the first-half in front of the 'chés', and in addition to carrying out a pressure of balloon that carried him to accumulate 78% of possession in some minutes, tested also things that do not are used to to be usual.

And one of them was the insistence in shooting from out of the area, a resource that the FC Barcelona does not be used to to use too much in the last times, but that it is necessary to have very in account of face to some commitments this season 2017-18, especially when the rival closes and does not leave spaces to combine near of the contrary goal. 

In front of Valencia, the first shots of the Barça, work of Paulinho and Rakitic, went from out of the area. The first finish in corner and the second in the hands of Net, but carried danger and put in alert from the beginning to the guardameta contrary.

The goal of Messi, from out of the area

In fact, the goal ghost of Leo Messi that it did not go up unfairly to the marker also went through a shot from out, whereas in the second half Luis Suárez also tried it after it rained him a frank balloon in the balcony of the area. The shot of the Uruguayan went out powerful but too centred, and was repelled by Net.

In definite, remains checked that the FC Barcelona of Valverde does not have disgusts, neither much less, to shoot from far to try obtain the reward of the goal. Of face to the next meetings, will see if it follows improving this facet.
