The keys to resolve the 'bloodletting' of goals of the Barcelona

Too many are the goals that is receiving the FC Barcelona in this first third of the season 2018-19. The culés have the worst statistical of goals received against in the last 44 years, that says prompt, and surprisingly in spite of this follow leaders of LaLiga Santander, are already in eighth of Champions League and have encarrilada the presence in the eighth of Glass of Rey.

An atypical situation that only explains by the fact that the half goleadora of the Barça is of practically three goals in favour by party, by what the parties is normal that at the end finish decanting to the edict culé in the exchange of hits.

In spite of everything, the big will of the technical body of Ernesto Valverde is to take the bull by the horns and resolve once and for all a situation that is producing a lot of headaches, and that already has 'signalled' to some players of the FC Barcelona by his fault of defensive forcefulness. One of them is Sergi Roberto, that cuajó a hideous party against the Betis, and well could yield his place like titling in the next appointments.

Nélson Semedo Could turn into a right side more reliable that the canterano culé in the defensive field, and of this form could give back to Sergi Roberto to the positions of interior. On the other hand, others of the keys that serve to understand the quantity of goals fit is that the couple of head offices, Hammered-Lenglet, accumulates a big quantity of minutes semi-consecutive to his backs.

The injuries of Thomas Vermaelen and Samuel Umtiti have forced them to play all the minutes of all the parties, excepting the one of Glass of the King in front of the Cultural Leonese, and the tiredness begins to be patent. Lenglet, although it is fulfilling, is a new signing of the present season, and still needs something of time to assimilate some mechanisms in the defence culé.

Afterwards it is the case of Jordi Alba, the only left side of all the staff and that, therefore, plays it practically all excepting also the mentioned crash of Glass of Rey. The FC Barcelona needs to somebody that can oxigenar his minutes in the field, and with urgency.

The FC Barcelona does not defend like a block

Finally, the reality is that the FC Barcelona does not defend like a block, but in two flanks differentiated. The forward and the centre of the field are advancing the line of pressure, and this causes that, if the rival surpasses it, the defence remain entirely sold, and in occasions in defensive inferiority in front of the fast accumulation of attackers.

The players of the centre of the field need to go down faster to cover spaces and avoid that they produce second played, as the one who involved the goal of Joaquín Sánchez in the Camp Nou, the second of the Real Betis this past Sunday. They are many the things to improve, but with the positive attitude of all the involved, will be possible to solve, or at least brake, the 'bloodletting' of goals received by the Barça this season.
