If FC Barcelona wants to overcome the sporting crisis, it must win at Mestalla. The team's latest presentations invite an absolute revolution that allows us to return to the path of victory and convince from the game. The cards are on the table

The way of the FC Barcelona has been full of irregular curves, setbacks and doubts. Especially the last. This season is not being worthy of the defender of LaLiga and of a team that wants to give the last hit on the table to go back to the highest, where was does a few years. Now it sounds something far and answers to the "team under construction" to the that does reference Xavi Hernández, in spite of that the project carries more than two years since it began to walk. They have not found the way.

The last parties have been the proof of them. Further of the consecutive defeats, has taken special importance the form in which the blaugrana have fallen. So much against the Girona as in front of the Royal Amberes, the image that has left the Catalan group has been very poor. From fitting seven goals until feeling without capacity to control the clash. They have been symptoms of crisis and already is necessary 'dribble it'.

Like this it arrives Valencia to the duel

Against Valencia is a key opportunity. The culés visit to a group 'ché' that lives in a very irregular dynamics. They are in the eleventh position of the championship, with 19 points in 16 parties, registering four 'pricks' consecutive: three defeats and a tie. They come to fall in his visit to the Getafe in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez (1-0), suffered a traced back against the Girona (2-1), a tie without goals against the RC Celtic and the remembered 'manita' of the Real Madrid in the Bernanéu (5-1).

Valencia does not win from 5 November, when it received to the Granada in Mestalla. They imposed by the minimum, thanks to a goal of the captain José Luis Gayà from the point penalti. They are living a season complicated, giving him continuity -of some way- to the previous. However, a visit to the stadium of Mestalla always is complicated and the Barça knows it very well, put in the last years the results have been very adjusted. The two 1-0 of the past course leave it clear.

The Barça knows that it plays a lot

In any case, is a party that for the Catalans is vital. Go out of Mestalla without a victory would be an authentic suicide because already the leadership is to seven points. The defeat of the Girona was very hard, mainly by the distance with the ones of Míchel. Still they have options of traced back, but have to begin the way regulate the sooner possible. It is vital, also because the Athletic of Madrid has the same 34 points in the classification and the Real Madrid (39) is not by the work to fail neither leave points on the way.

The party against Valencia will not change the history for Xavi, in any case. Already in press conference had spoken on the external noise: "If they had deleted us in Champions, would have understood it. But it did not go like this. Have the League, is true that we have to improve and add more, the Supercopa and the Glass. I do not understand it. It is the moment to join , believe in the project. It is the most complicated club in the world by his surroundings".

On his future, aimed that "it does a month said me if it was the Ferguson of the Barça, and that now am in the street. Stability. This is what needs the club. We are a winning project. We know that the football does not have memory. When I say that we are under construction it is because there will be potholes, but if to each pothole go in in a deep depression... It calls stability. If it loses or empata in Valencia, follows believing in the project. Stability needs the club in the era post Messi and with an economic situation very complicated". In spite of this, knows that there is a lot at stake.
