MARKED? Xavi dispensed with Nico, Ferran and Araújo after a bad first half

Xavi Hernández announced from the previous of the party between the FC Barcelona and Galatasaray that would have low, conscious that it was a party less 'demanding' and that to the picture culé him avecina a very complicated calendar in the next two weeks. The egarense left in the bench to fixed players like Gerard Hammered, Sergio Busquets or the own Aubameyang, that came being indisputable headline, but very soon had to give turn to his approach.

And it is that in the first time the Barça was a flat team, without ideas and much less inspiration in the last metres. There is not a distinguished player in concrete, but yes a collective level that left a lot that wish and that, especially, was very move# away to the image that had left the Barça in the last weeks, reason by which Xavi had to change his plan before what had wanted.

After the rest went in Gerard Hammered, Sergio Busquets and Ousmane Dembélé, three players to try change or improve to the Barça in what it was failing in each line. The sacrificed were Ronald Araújo, Nico González and Ferran Torres, three footballers that were not having his best night and that were not contributing too much. The charrúa was very imprecise and Xavi had to correct it in a few occasions from the band.

Nico González, by his part, went of less to more in the first part. It was very demanded by the pressure of the Galatasaray in the centre of the field and had to help in some occasions to Sergiño Dest by the right side. It did not finish to feel comfortable neither impose the calm and tanquilidad from his position.

Ferran came of a big afternoon in front of the Elche, but against the Turkish group happened careless. It began like false nine, but went rotando in the happen of the minutes with Memphis in the left extreme. It did not impose his 'law' neither generated occasions. In fact, only it touched thrice the balloon inside the rival area. A very different version to which came offering the one of Foios.

They worked the changes?

Although it is true that Xavi improved to the team and left the feeling that they could advance in the marker anytime, the Barça was not the constant and incisive team that came being. It is prompt to speak of a step backwards or frenazo to the series, but yes is moment to review what happened against the Turkish group and what can improve .
