In this moment, the FC Barcelona only can win in LaLiga to achieve 'enchufarse' in the championship and try recortar distances with the teams that are between the first positions of the classification. The trained by Xavi Hernández open the fifteenth day of the domestic championship with ten points underneath of the leadership and with a long way by in front to try give him gone back to a beginning of season that has left more doubts that certainties for the culés.

The Barça is to the limit and is not a secret for anybody. Xavi has achieved to improve the feelings of the team, 'give him back' the confidence, of to little, to the players and the illusion to compete to defend the Barcelona shield, but still there is a lot for improving, so much to defensive level as in the final metres. The party of this Saturday, in front of the Villarreal in The Ceramic will be a proof of gold and only is allowed to return to the City Condal with the three units.

The balloon will throw to run to the 21:00 hours and there is a lot for showing. In the two first parties of the Barça of Xavi have been a lot of the 'green shoots' of the team, especially with the performance of the youngest players, but it is necessary to show that there is true changes, especially because the results have remained short: First the victory in front of the Espanyol (1-0) with a goal of penalti of Memphis and the bitter tie against the Benfica that has been a hard hit for the culés.

It is the stage 'ideal', in front of a rival that is very underneath of the expectations.

In any case, the Barça can not neglect and it will be necessary to be very attentive,p uesto players like Yéremy Pino, Parejo or Danjuma are extremely dangerous and a quebradero of head for any defensive saga. Of there that it was key that the culés follow the dynamics of presionar high and drown to the rival after the loss of the balloon, because it is the only 'formula' for which the Barcelona dominate the party and seat comfortable with the balloon.
