Of the defeat of the FC Barcelona in front of the Sevillto, in the gone of the semifinals of the Glass of Rey, there is a lot that analyse regarding the Catalan group, like the defensive fragility, the fault of concentration or little capacity of reaction after Joules Koundé advanced to the venues in the marker to the 25 minutes of party. The Barça did not finish to feel comfortable in the field and, although it litigated for discounting the marker, finished with a result that will be difficult (but no impossible) to trace back.

The case is that the culés presionaban, tried to approach to the area defended by Bono and broke the lines of the Seville, but at all was sufficient and from the bench there were not intentions to change the course of the party. It is not a secret that Ronald Koeman is not a trainer to the that likes him a lot give indications to the players in full party to the edge of the field and that, in fact, happens more time in the bench speaking with his staff, but in front of the Seville was curious like the one of Zaandam hardly did two changes, only six minutes before the pitazo final.

Riqui Puig, to the minute 84, and Francisco Trincãor, in the ninety, went the two 'revulsivos' of the Barça to look for the victory, in a moment in which the party already was sentenced. The one of Matadepera went in to the field a minute before the goal of Ivan Rakitić, to substitute to Pedri, and little could do to help to his team. The Portuguese, worse still, ingresó to the terrain before the pitazo final and without opportunity any to give some offensive contribution that avoided that the FC Barcelona finished the party without marking.

It soprendente Is that they were the only two changes. The Barça had suffered during all the party and Ronald Koeman did not move his bench in any moment, although it was necessary to dump absolutely to the attack and that, obviously, the defence was in his lower hours, especially Samuel Umtiti, the big 'culprit' of the two so many of the Seville.

Although the defender francocamerunés remained portrayed in the two goals, the Barcelona trainer rid him of all the responsibility. In press conference, Koeman said that "it is not just to go to by him, lost all and win all, and the team was well. We have left too much space in the 1-0 and in the 2-0 always say that in these played it is necessary to run backwards because you never know if the side is to your back. That fit almost always first? A goal of the rival no always wants to say that it was ours failure. I have not seen so many problems in defence".

There is not confidence in the bench?

From the beginning of season knew that the staff of the Barça was very short and that there are not the necessary variables for each position, but if Ronald Koeman wants to go to by all with this FC Barcelona, has to improve and use what has, independently that there is a lot of or few parties in the horizon. Riqui, Trincãor or even the canteranos Konrad de la Fuente or Álex Hill could contribute more in the attack if they had gone in to the field before the party was totally sentenced, after the goal of Rakitić.

In the another expensive of the coin is Julen Lopetegui. With the marker in favour, but with a Barça trying presionar, the ex of the Real Madrid and the Spanish selection moved the bench before the minute 70 with a triple replacement so that his team -physically- held the last stretch of the meeting. The cherry of the cake was when it went in Olíver Torres, in the 82, the one who took out an excellent pass of the basket so that Rakitic marked the 2-0 two minutes after his entry.
