With two consecutive defeats in League BBVA, the FC Barcelona seems to be crossing the first crisis since Luis Enrique arrived to the bench. Against the Celtic the Barcelona could mark in several occasions, but was missing gunpowder and there was not centre of the field

"It arrives a nice week", said Luis Enrique in press conference after the new disaster of the FC Barcelona in League, this time against the Celtic in the Camp Nou. It does not know it well. The two consecutive defeats in the domestic competition could send to the Barça, that arrived the Saturday leader in the classification, until the fourth position of the championship.

If they could see some ghosts in the tie in front of the Málaga of the past month of September and the defeat in front of the PSG, Madrid and Celtic have confirmed that this Barça still is to years light to equalise -or approach- to the level of the group that marvelled with Pep Guardiola in the bench and did the delights of the European football.

The transition, for the moment, is not being as it expected . The team began very strong the championship chaining several consecutive victories -although it is true that against clubs of a level ostensiblemente inferior-, but the step of the weeks and the arrival of new rivals increasingly powerful have left to glimpse the Barcelona reality: that has changed something with regard to the past season, but neither too much. To the players is costing them adapt to the new strategies of Luis Enrique and sometimes carry out the offensive pressure of form descontrolada and totally irregular, without recovering the balloon and allowing dangerous counterattacks.

It follows being missing, besides, depth in attack. The teams already know how play him to the Barça and the culés have always problems to drill the rival defensive walls, since the centres of Alves of little serve with the height of the Barcelona attackers. Another of the appearances that the combined culé has to improve, and a lot, is the mobility without balloon. They are used to to see actions in which a same player needs driblar two and until thrice to try create danger in put it contrary, whereas the passes to the edge of the area are too static, without desmarques or the typical fast walls that characterised to the Barça of the six glasses in 2009.

It does not be necessary to alarm. At the beginning of November does not decide at all, and although the FC Barcelona can finish the day in fifth position, all the rivals will be to one, two or three points of difference and therefore it will be able to them give hunting when the team have recovered of the pothole. And for this will do fault a lot of work and, especially, cold mind to assimilate that with a staff that has to some of the best players of the world, so only is question of time that carburen again. Luis Enrique, by his part, will have to recapacitar and do all the possible for giving with the key. And first of all, not allowing that his players, champions of everything in another period, go back to fall in the conformism.
