Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has had better split that the contested in front of Vicente Calderón, this is clear, but few victories have celebrated as much as this. The culés no lucieron as in his best moments but yes that made a very hard work on a terrain of game that was not for the sportive practice.

The karma, this yes, gave it back to him to the Athletic of Madrid when doing him pay have left the dry and hard green with two goals against that they could have not gone up if the field had not been like this. Controversies to part, the ones of Luis Enrique put the monkey of work and "pencaron of valents", that says in Catalan, wanting to refer to the arduous work made. As although the football in the first time was not showy, there was a lot of fight and a lot of battle hid after all what could see in Vicente Calderón. We analyse it in three keys of the victory of the Barça in front of the Atleti:

-Ter Stegen Exhibits like the best of the world

Without place to doubts, the FC Barcelona would not have been able to arrive to the second time, where was the best, without his goalkeeper. Marc-André ter Stegen went back to show his big state of form making three spectacular stops to kicks of Griezmann (two) and Carrasco. Soberbio Was in all, but especially in a hand manually with the French to the that held to take out a crucial foot.

Without place to doubts, Ter Stegen goes way to turn into the best goalkeeper of the planet. For many already is it but for others still has to improve, what is clear is that his last parties show that it has increased his optimum level already exhibited in the two previous seasons.

-Surpassed the high pressure of the Athletic

In other occasions, the FC Barcelona was shipwrecked when his rival planted him a high pressure that drowned the origins of his game. In this meeting, and with a change of system of 3-4-3 in attack, the blaugrana saw reinforced taking out the ball from backwards. The three head offices (Hammered, Umtiti and Mathieu) showed good ways with to ball and in place of rifarla, knew to initiate the played connecting with the centre of the field.

Especially it could see in the second time, when the Barça gave with the exact key so that the Atleti was shipwrecked in his tactical approach. The ones of Simeone saw clearly surpassed in the seconds 45 minutes and could not take him the pulse to the party neither carry it to his terrain. Only a goal of Godín (with clear fault on Busquets previously) could put them in the party.

-The reaction of the team (and the MSN)

In this occasion, and unlike the duel in front of the PSG or the CD Leganés, the first goal fit no desencajó (cost the redundancy) to the footballers that dressed of blue and grana. All the contrary, followed with his plan, did not exasperate and finish seeing the goal thanks to Leo Messi. Before they had several clear occasions, what shows that no all was due to a stroke of luck and to have to Messi.

That also, as have to the best player of the world matters and a lot. Have it to him and to his mates in arms Luis Suárez and Neymar Júnior, that went back to be "enchufados" from the start to the end. Like this we could them see going down to defend and recover the ball in some occasion, presionar to death after loss and receiving in position of attack. Neymar Followed with his big moment of form whereas Suárez was much more electrical and surprising that never. Even it appeared the nine blaugrana by right band like a pure extreme, fruit of this was the first goal of Rafinha or the played of the so much of Messi, for example.
