Barça's midfield, once again 'signaled' in transitions

The defeat of the FC Barcelona in front of the Villarreal (3-5) sharpened the crisis culé and evidenció the problems of mark of the team in the centre of the field. In spite of the return of Oriol Romeu to the eleven, the Barça left in disadvantage to the halftime and, as it was to expect , Xavi Hernández preferred to dispense of the Catalan pivote to put to Pedri in search of the traced back.

The change went out him well to the egarense, further of the 0-2 partial propiciado by Joao Cancel, another of the ingresados after the rest. However, although the team attained to put 3-2 to fault of 19 minutes for the end, the spaces conceded in the centre of the field and the errors deep down allowed that the 'yellow submarine' no only equalised again the party, but it finish winning with two so many in the discount.

At the end, the Barça finish the party extenuado and totally 'broken' on thefield . A team where anybody mark, commit childish failures in exit and without the necessary basic wardrobe to face a so complicated calendar. This week broke Balde and Sergi Roberto. For the time being, to Xavi only remains him Fermín like alternative regarding mediocentros, a letter that the egarense has avoided to use in the two last parties.

Gündogan And Pedri made possible the traced back

The entry of Pedri revived to a Ílkay Gündogan unimportant in the first part. The German installed to the edge of the rival area and converted the first so much culé after an assistance of Lewandowski in the minute 60. After an assistance wasted by Ferran, the ex captain of the Manchester City finish assisting to the Canarian after a finish fallido eight minutes later to equalise the party.

They were the best minutes of a Barça that put to the Villarreal on his area and, in the 71', completed the traced back with a goal against of Eric Bailly after a free shot from the left side served by the own Gündo. The culés did the most difficult, but did not know to sustain the advantage and, finally, lost an incredible party conceding a 'manita' humillante.

Of Jong went back to throw of self-criticism after a bad party

After the party, Frenkie was the first in speaking in front of the microphones of 'DAZN'. Faithful to his habit, the Dutch threw of self-criticism when analysing the his performance and of the team. "It was not a good party, but if you go 0-2 losing and put you 3-2 can not almost give these things and at the end lose the party. I think that can not happen in a top team and if have experience can not happen this. We have to do it much better and it happens us too this year", puntualizó the one of Arkel.

🗣️ "They can not give these things... It can not happen in a top team"
