At FC Barcelona they are in the midst of a process of self-criticism and reflection after the disappointment of the defeat against Shakhtar. In the locker room, the disappointment is maximum, but they recognize that there is still a long way to go

Calendar of FC Barcelona

"No only we have not lost at all, but we are more alive that the year happened to these heights", has been, as 'SPORT', one of the messages of the staff of the FC Barcelona after falling defeated against the Shakhtar in the fourth day of the phase of groups of the Champions League. Had the opportunity to concretise the classification to eighth of final, if empataban or won, but now will lengthen the uncertainty to the end.

The defeat has been the confirmation of the worst moment of the season of the Barcelona picture. Only they have lost in two occasions (against the Real Madrid and the Ukrainian group), but the bad feelings that already had left the team have intensified in these last weeks. It is the first crisis of the course and need a 'shaken' before the consequences are greater to average term, so much in LaLiga as in Europe, where the requirement is the double.

From the Barça have left clear that the performance that left in Hamburg is unacceptable. It was one of the worst parties in the two years that has Xavi Hernández in the bench and arrived just after the crash against the Real Sociedad, in which the feelings also were very negative and the poor game, but a goal of Ronald Araújo in the last minute allowed them add three points of gold. In the Champions League, the history has been different.

The Barça needs a 'reset'

The before quoted source does reference to that the team, of doors to inside, is in full process of self-criticism and recognise that they need a reseteo to finish with the blockade that is prejudicing them. The feeling, in general, is that it is costing more than the account and that need to begin of zero to avoid more problems in both competitions. Especially when they are to the doors to go in in the most decisive phase of this first stretch of season.

In the changing room have coincided in two points. The first is that they are very 'touched' by the last week, by the parties in front of the Real Sociedad and Shakhtar, recognising that the ideas are not flowing and that there is not atrevimiento to "try things". It is the blockade to the that did reference Xavi after the party. At all it is them going out although they try it of tireless way. And already it has remained very showed.

It is thus that consider that the stop of selections, from this Monday, will be an ideal stage so that replanteen muchsos concepts and can breathe after a pressure asfixiante that have lived from the Classical. The biggest work is for Xavi and company, place have to find the formula so that the team answer futbolísticamente. They are not it achieving up to now.

Confidence in the staff of the Barça

Although they are conscious that there are a lot of failures in the staff, tambíen understand that, although the feelings are not good, "in general terms, the photo of the reality is less dramatic". And it is that, although the game is not being hopeful, are to two points of the Real Madrid and to five of the Girona, while they still are leaders of his group of Champions League. The classification depends on they same and consider that they will be able to improve his performances. Still there is not at all stray.
