Jesús Navas and Gabriel Market put legs up to the defence of the FC Barcelona with his goals in the Sánchez Pizjuán, in the first-half of the party contested this Saturday and relative to the day 25 of LaLiga Santander 2018-19. The FC Barcelona was not at all well in the defensive transitions, and the Andalusians arrived with more effective in his contragolpes.

So only I Hammered and Umtiti defended the against of the first goal, led by Ben Yedder after a theft of Promes, and culminated by the quoted Jesús Navas with a shot crossed and very difficult to cut across for Ter Stegen. In the played of the second goal, Sarabia filtered a good balloon so that Gabriel Market, at first, finished with the right leg and adjusted very well the shot to the contrary stick.

Two played badly defended by the FC Barcelona, and that supposed the end to the good series that dragged the team in this appearance. And it is that the ones of Ernesto Valverde had kept the goal to zero in the three previous parties (0-0 in front of the Athletic, 1-0 in front of the Valladolid and 0-0 in Lyon), leaving to the fault of offensive gunpowder like the main problem of the team.

Against the Seville, however, Leo Messi empató momentáneamente the marker and, before it finalised the first-half, Market went back to put by in front to the venues in the Nervión. The defence of the FC Barcelona did waters, and reopened some wounds that seemed closed in the last weeks. It is clear that the FC Barcelona will have to improve, and a lot, if it wants to aspire to the three titles this season 2018-19.

As it already did in the gone of quarter-finals of the Glass of Rey, the Seville took out to relucir the weaknesses of the team culé in the Sánchez Pizjuán, and seems that the last bad results and the experiences lived in Andalusian earths have not served to the Barça to improve. They follow committing the same defensive errors, and the majority arrive in contragolpes after losses of balloon.

Double change of Valverde to the rest

The centre of the field takes too much in going down until defensive positions to avoid the counterattacks, and the sides neither arrive to time to cover spaces. This Saturday, to the rest, Valverde moved the bench and situated to Sergi Roberto and Dembélé in the alignment to the detriment of Nélson Semedo and Arturo Vidal, those who did not have cuajado a good performance in the first part. At least there are reactions in punctual situations, and this is the important. It touches to improve and follow rowing.
