The curse of the Barça in Anoeta gives emotion to the League (1-0)

Dynamic party, showy and very important for the FC Barcelona in the fight by the title of League BBVA. The ones of Luis Enrique faced the meeting in Anoeta -damned terrain from does several seasons- with the big aim to attain a victory that served to keep a distance of six and seven points regarding Athletic and Real Madrid to the frelnte of the classification, but the meeting did not begin as they expected the fans of the FC Barcelona, definitely. And it is that, in the minute 5 of party, the Real Sociedad took advantage of his first clear opportunity to put a centre to the penalty spot that was finished by Oyarzábal at the end of the goal of Claudio Bravo, the one who did the statue and could not pull to detain the placed finish. Once again, the Barça had gone out desconectado in Anoeta and too permisivo with the local arrivals, without presionar the sufficient and something lacking of intensity, and had paid it with grow fitting the first goal of the party at all more begin.

The positive note was that it still remained a lot duel by in front and the FC Barcelona had time to trace back, but the initial plans of the team went to the garete. The goal, in any case, seemed to wake up slightly to a Barça that achieved during the back minutes besiege the area of the Real Sociedad and shut to the "txuri urdin "" in his own field. Leo Messi had of a clear opportunity after finding a dead balloon to the edge of the area, but the shot of the Argentinian left diverted, above the goal of Gerónimo Rulli. After this occasion the Barça followed arriving with frequency, but the Basques showed conclusive in defence and did not have too many problems to refuse the danger, carrying out besides a pressure of balloon on Leo Messi that served so that "The Flea" starred diverse losses of balloon. In the centre of the field, Busquets, Rafinha and Burn Turan neither were very fine with the balloon in the first minutes, without fraguar a clear superiority that ended in long possessions of balloon in terrain of the Real Sociedad.

Messi and Neymar do not crack the txuri urdin "defence"

If in the Classical and in the gone of Champions the FC Barcelona did not show neither much less his best version of the season, neither went like this in the first chamber of hour of party against the ones of Eusebio Sacristán, very very ordered on the lawn, with the very clear ideas and with Mikel Oyarzábal that turned into a powerful weapon for the venues to the counterattack, taking advantage of his speed and tireless fight with the central of the FC Barcelona. Carlos Watches put a precise centre to the area of Bravo in the minute 15, that by very little was not finished by Of The Beautiful, after a slip of Mascherano. The Barça did not impose his law in the field, whereas the Real Sociedad showed a big intensity and neither generated clear occasions of danger, but at least achieved torpedear all the intentonas of Messi, Neymar and company in attack. Regarding Munir The Haddadi, did weeks that did not have minutes to the orders of Luis Enrique, and this noticed during some first compasses of party in which it was disappeared and, besides, imprecise in the connections with his mates to the hour to look for lines of pass.

In the minute 20 of party, a dangerous fault to the edge of the area of Rulli antojó like an opportunity so that Leo Messi desatascara the party with a free direct, but lamentably the shot left also above the goal of the young guardameta Argentinian. Burn Turan, Neymar and Messi looked for a resquicio in the férrea defence of the Real Sociedad, but did not find it, happening the crash by a phase in which the Barça played practically all the while in three chambers of field, but without causing danger and running the risk that the venues could mount some that another dangerous counterattack, what when seeming had turned into the strategy of the ones of Eusebio Sacristán. In the minute 28, an effective combination go in Burn and Messi caused a serious unfit in the txuri urdin "saga", but the accumulation of contrary in the area of Rulli caused that the opportunity finished in at all, without that the confined of Leo Messi finish in a played of danger.

Luis Enrique does not hit with the formula of new interiors

From the bench Luis Enrique tried to encourage to his players, but to the half hour of party the result followed without moving in the marker, with advantage for the Real Sociedad from the minute 4. Without the presence of Luis Suárez like "nine", the forward of the Barça did not have the same brega, intensity neither tarpaulin to the hour invent played of attack, and the team paid it with grow in a desert of offensive potential -until the moment- without oasis in sight. In the minute 32, a shot from out of the area of Burn Turan caused a good intervention of Rulli, that attained to trap the balloon and mount a counterattack in which Carlos Watches gave the local reply, with a shot to door that left too to the right of the goal of Bravo. The Barça gave samples of despair in some played and, especially of precipitation in the taking of decisions.

The Real Sociedad, by his part, played his game and expected to the Barça in his own field, happy with the first goal and had to defend with nails and teeth to the end. The interiors of the FC Barcelona, Rafinha and Burn Turan, did not appear too much and this did that it was practically connect with Neymar Jr, Leo Messi and Munir in attack, with Iniesta and Rakitic looking concerned the meeting from the bench. Passed 40 minutes of game, noticed that Luis Enrique had not hit planting to two no usual interiors in the eleven, removing of hit to Iniesta and Rakitic and endowing to the team blaugrana of a permanent disequilibrium so much in attack as in defence. Rafinha And Burn did not have good mechanisms in the pressure to the hour to defend, and neither brilliance of ideas in atauqe to connect with the "10" and the "11" culés, causing that Leo Messi had to go down too much to receive and lost like this offensive potential. Luis Enrique would have to change a lot of things in the half part, and the first of them, before it finished the first-half, was to command heat to Andrés Iniesta.

Iniesta changes the face of the Barça, but is not sufficient

The second act, sure enough, began with the presence of Iniesta to the detriment of Rafinha, that still is not the sufficiently filmed as for a complete party of high requirement. In spite of the rest, nevertheless, the pájara of the FC Barcelona seemed to continue at least during the first minutes. And it is that, in the minute 47, the Real Sociedad was about to to mark the second goal in a played enrevesada, with the exit of Bravo of his goal to cover spaces and with a pass of the death that fortunately the Barcelona defence achieved to repel. The Barcelona was concienciado that it had to trace back the party, but in some actions seemed that the physical did not arrive to the mental, in a want to and can not of some players mermados by the tiredness and the accumulation of parties. In spite of this, in the minute 5 a good pass in depth of Andrés Iniesta was about to to be finished by Leo Messi, the one who of backs did not attain to see goal.

They were played isolated, because the FC Barcelona did not find fluidity in attack had to largely to the defensive tarpaulin of the ones of Eusebio Sacristán, increasingly optimistic with the possibility to carry some point of the duel against the Barça, or even the victory. Andrés Iniesta broke diagrams on the terrain of game and was the only player that seemed cooler of ideas by part of the edict culé. In the minute 53, in fact, starred a powerful shot from out of the area that caused a paradón of Gerónimo Rulli, the young goalkeeper of the Real Sociedad that so only had had to take part in this occasion and in a shot of Burn Turan in the first-half, the twice doing gala of some big reflections. In the minute 58, Luis Enrique went back to move the bench and gave gone in to Jordi Alba so that the FC Barcelona had more offensive arrival by the left band, repositioning to Sergi Roberto in the position of interior and commanding to Burn Turan to the bench with a new yellow card.

Cruel script for a Barça that gives emotion to the League

The minutes went happening, the Barça did not mark and the nerves began to enturbiar the heads of the Barcelona players, increasingly precipitated in his decisions to the hour to connect with the forward and look for fast played offensive. In the minute 62, a shot of fault of Neymar Jr brushed the square of the goal of Rulli, but left went for despair of the Brazilian. From here, the Barça tightened increasingly and put more intensity in the game, with the will that they did not escape three points that could be keys in the future of the League BBVA. To fault of twenty minutes for the end of the party, however, the Real Sociedad followed férrea in defence and besides began to lose time in some played, looking for lengthen to the maximum each action so that the FC Barcelona had every time less options of empatar the duel.

Oyarzábal, giving sample of a big physical capacity, went down to bale out balloons to own field and won ovations of the realistic fans, but the best applauses carried them to him the goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli, that in the minute 74 took out a placed shot with the outside of Leo Messi, with the Argentinian star of the Barça carrying the hands in command. Gerard Hammered advanced the lines whenever it could and turned into a forward more, but to fault of a chamber of hour the marker did not move and the nerves increased . It was missing cold blood and mental freshness in several offensive approaches, and each that the FC Barcelona lost a balloon seemed that the world derrumbaba. Eusebio took advantage of the last minutes to do some change that achieved to subtract minutes of game to the marker, and the Barça remained finally without traced back. Three stray points that do that the Barça lose the wide mattress of points of the that had, although it follows leader of the competition three points by in front of the Athletic, and four above the Real Madrid. It has lost the advantage. But now, more than ever, the Barça needs the support of the fans.
