The lack of a goal punishes Barça, but also the lack of ambition and ability to close the games on time. Xavi has a lot of work ahead of him

Calendar of FC Barcelona

It is very true that the FC Barcelona is in full process of reconstruction and that the team, comandado by Xavi Hernández, has the intention to give turn to a first part of the season 2021-2022 that has been, as little, complicated. It is not a secret for anybody, neither, that the Barça has suffered a lot of drops (even of long term) in this course and that has been victim of the Covid-19; factors that have not allowed to the trainers have all the players.

To this, it is necessary to add that the battle with the fault of goal is dark and that follow committing too many failures in defence. In summary, the Barça complicates too much to defend the areas and suffers, split yes and party also, to achieve the results, that sometimes do not arrive. They are difficult moments for the picture culé and all the previous mentioned 'justify' the irregularity, but it is necessary to leave of excuses and look for step forward.

Players there is, talent also and the illusion does not fail never, then why suffers so much? Why for the Barça is practically impossible to close a party and live 90 calm minutes? Why the Barça, in what it goes of season, has received three goals in final instants for 'puncture' in League? It is a situation to analyse and that it has to remain backwards. Because like this they do not achieve traced back... And this is what need the culés, for example, in the Spanish championship.

Against the Granada, the Barça played with fire in front of a team that knows how litigate to the end. It is not casualidad that the Barcelona are signing his third clash without being able to win to the 'nazaríes' (1-2, 1-1 and again 1-1) and that, in the party of this Saturday, did not go able to close the result and live an end of calm party, as it was all the second part after the goal of Luuk of Jong. Ter Stegen Appeared a pair of times, but little more did the Granada to rescue a point in his stadium.

And it go that had effect the expulsion of Gavi, but does not justify of the all that the Barça, after advancing , played practically in his field and did not go by the 0-2 although the Granada proposed little or directly at all. They were playing with fire and have burned , but is not the first time that happens in this season neither since Xavi occupies the bench of the culés.

Against the Osasuna, does almost a month, the Barça had an advantage of 1-2 in the minute 49 and to six minutes of the end, Ezquiel Ávila empató and punished to the Barcelona, in a party in which the culés dominated the possession, but did not know to translate this superiority in occasions and much less in goals.

It is the example of the 3-3 against the Celtic, but went a bajón inexplicable of the culés to leave equalise the marker with, besides, a goal of Iago Sails in the minute 90+6. In front of the Mallorca, in the victory by the minimum, the Barça saved of the tie and finished asking the hour in Sound Moix. In Linares was the same. The history of never finish: sometimes it reaches to win, others no.

Demérito Of the Barça

Xavi explained after the Granada-Barça that the tie was not merit of the group nazarí, but demérito of his team by not answering to the requirement. The egarense enumerated all the failures of his and stood out that "precisely it was missing depth, and looks that we work it, but has been missing us. We have marked the goal, that is the most difficult and afterwards have not known to control".

The control, or rather the fault of control, is precisely the big failure of the Barça and against the granadistas (and in front of the Mallorca, Osasuna...) It was the proof of this. It is a point in which it is necessary to work to avoid that the Russian mountain of feelings follow with curves. It is an unsustainable situation and has to have a 'stop' definite. It remains a lot of way by in front... And exhaustive work by part of Xavi.
