BARÇA COULD OFFER MUCH MORE
Gündogan and Lewandowski list Barça's 'mistakes' against Girona
FC Barcelona could not overcome Girona (2-4) and now sees the lead very far away. From the locker room they have sung the 'mea culpa', because there have been many mistakes made in Montjuïc, especially in the defensive section
Xavi Hernández commented that the party between FC Barcelona and Girona had decided by details and that, although it had gone out them cross, the history could have been distinct. And it is that, although it can put on the table the fact that the Barcelona signed 31 shots, the greater quantity in this 2023, also is necessary to bring to collation the fact that they showed a very passive version in defence. And the parties define in the areas.
It has been a very grey night for the Barcelona and a new mini 'crisis' that forces to the team to try step forward. From the changing room have pronounced and have left clear that were forced to offer much more of what did. It was not sufficient and now the leadership is to seven points, in 16 days contested. The self-criticism will be necessary and, especially, step forward.
Self-criticism in the Barça after an insufficient effort
The first that has given the face, instants after the pitazo final, has been Frenkie of Jong. It does not have 'saved' at all and showed his dissatisfaction with the image offered by the team, but has not been the only. Ílkay Gündogan, that tried to put to the culés in the party in the 90+2 with a goal in the discount, has left clear that the defensive errors have punished to the team, but also had to a Girona with a lot of quality in front that them 'closed' the doors.
"We lost by defensive problems. Collectively we did not defend as it was necessary. The Girona could keep the balloon even under our pressure", commented the midfield player Teutonic, the one who also flattered to the team directed by Michel: "Has quality, this is true, and have solutions for these situations of pressure. Even if the balloon is in being able to of the another player, they know to run, have good communication between them. It is not casualidad that the Girona is up".
Lewandowski 'Encourage' to the team
On the other hand, Robert Lewandowski also has spoken after the party and aimed that in many respects the Girona was upper to the Barça: "I Think that in some appearances were better that we. We try to do something, but was difficult. We have to follow working and thinking in positive", began saying, adding that "we are treating to give the best of us. Today it was not our day and knew the difficult that was the party and no only was it today but all the parties for them. We have to analyse what happened and try win the parties that remain".
