A statistical voucher more than one thousand words. And all the data and curiosities of the FC Barcelona-Real Betis were positive for the ones of Luis Enrique, but one of them went especially pragmatic on what was really the first day of League Santander 2016-17 for the culés: a walk.
And it is that the Barcelona team "danced" as it wanted to to the bético to base of combinations measured, disequilibrium, possession of balloon and a big effectiveness, in spite of the rosary of occasions of the that had the Catalans along the ninety minutes, and that it could have meant a goleada of scandal in the case of have not gone down slightly the rhythm during the last minutes of the appointment.
But, going back to the statistics in question, fits to stand out that the Real Betis was the team that less ran in this first day of League (99 kilometres), can that because it did not smell the balloon during the party or because it was constantly replegado in his own field, or a combination of both things.
The past season, when the Betis visited the Camp Nou in December and went out also escaldado with a 4-0, the Andalusians ran 105 kilometres, slightly more than this past Saturday in the Barcelona sanctuary. It could say, therefore, that the Saturday is as if the Betis had played with a footballer less, at least regarding kilometres visited.
The difference is significant if we compare it with the space that ran the three teams that greater physical deployment showed in this first day (Athletic of Madrid, Alavés and Real Sociedad), that approaches to the 20 kilometres (the three teams ran 118 kilometres in total). The FC Barcelona, by his side, in addition to golear visited 102 kilometres, more even that the team of Gustavo Poyet. Without effort there is not reward.
