The first official parties of the FC Barcelona under the control of Ronald Koeman were frankly hopeful. Without veterans like Luis Suárez, Arturo Vidal or Ivan Rakitic and recovering a new system of game (4-2-3-1) for the cause, the group culé offered green shoots very interesting. A cheerful and intense game that served to run over to rivals like the Villarreal or the Celtic of Vigo in the following days.

They strengthened players like Ansu Fati or Philippe Coutinho, that did not take in doing indispensable, and showed youngsters like Pedri González or Sergiño Dest, that saw like big solutions for the team. The problem was that, little by little, the group of Ronald Koeman began to lose this initial impulse to go back to the senda of the irregular results and the doubts in the game.

Of course, in this equation it is necessary to put the joyous injuries. Ronald Koeman began losing by some weeks to footballers like Jordi Alba or Philippe Coutinho by muscular problems, but this was only an anteroom of what was for coming. Ansu Fati And Gerard Hammered suffered grave injuries in the knee and were diagnosed with several months of drop, of the same way that Sergi Roberto that suffered another grave muscular injury.

Here they began the real problems for Ronald Koeman, that lost to his best defence and to the that, then, was the maximum goleador of the team. The experiments to cover the drops did not finish to work and the result have been important pricks like the ones of Cádiz, that moved away to the FC Barcelona of the first places of LaLiga Santander, or in front of the Juventus of Turín, yielding the first place in the group of Champions League.

Against the Raise won , but neither transmitted good feelings the team. It went back to the 4-3-3 in the first time, but went back to the 4-2-3-1 in the second. It did not matter the diagram, but it saw again a team to the that was missing him coolness in attack and solidity in defence. At the end, it saved the pieces of furniture Leo Messi with a goal that does not deny that the Argentinian is maybe in his worst moment like Barcelona.

Now it touches, more than ever, follow rowing. Ronald Koeman will have to follow looking for the key that allow him recover this FC reliable Barcelona of the first days. The players, by his part, will have to step forward to save a situation complicated. It touches sobreponerse to the drops of long length and to the external criticisms for no descolgarse of one of the most complicated seasons of the history.

The Barça did not convince in front of the Raise
