With a brave initial approach, Koeman didn't know to read the needs of the match and neither found tactical solutions neither technical to give the turn to the result, being the only option the change man by man in the minute 80

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona, after the victory in Champions League, seemed that it went back to recover the way of start of season and that was with win to give a mortal hit to his greater enemy in the afternoon of the Saturday. The group of the capital came of two defeats followed and with the feeling to visit the stadium culé in a moment abysmal of the season.

Seventh day of League and Classical in the Camp Nou to the 16:00 hours of the afternoon. With an eleven brave initial, with two extremes of 17 years, Koeman seated to Griezmann and Sergi Roberto in the most expected party of the season 2020-21. The Real Madrid, with the drop of Hazard and with Nacho in the right side, presented a recognizable team.

10 minutes and two goals embriagaban to the viewers with a big meeting. A lot of rhythm and occasions for each edict marked the first part of a beautiful Classical for the fans but regrettable for the trainers.

It expected a lot of the second half, with Leo Messi running and in shape, a big Dest and with a physically ready team that seemed that it did not remain without battery. Halfway of the second part of the meeting, the duel was what expected but the player number 12 of Madrid acted, again, to break the party and give another penalti to Sergio Bouquets to give advantage by 1-2 to the team capitalino.

It gives the same, with VAR or without VAR, this does not change. When the balloon went in the the network from the eleven metres, the team culé went out of the party. Unchanged tactical, technicians neither relief of players, little by little Koeman left to die to the patient.

The most worrisome is not to lose, but how has lost . The Real Madrid from the second goal strolled by the lawn and in some phases of the meeting gave the feeling that were in a training. Touching the balloon calmly, losing time and when they wanted to giving him rhythm has achieved a goal more, finishing with the incredible 1-3 final.

It was missing winning spirit in the Barça

The Barcelonan team lacked spirit, was missing him a leader, somebody that complained to the referee, put him pressure and encouraged to the mates. A clear detail that lacking this figure has seen in the second part, when in a counterattack of the Madrid, the goalkeeper of the Barça Net made two big interventions avoiding the clear goal of the whites and neither a player of his team congratulated him, encouraged or raised the fist in symbol of joy.

The feeling that had in summer that it was necessary a total change of staff has taken only some months in going back to notice . We expect that Koeman and his technical body find solutions and change the dynamics of fast form. Because it does fault... And only we are at the beginning of the course.
