Joao Cancelo's first 'stumble' as Barça's starting left-back

Joao Cancel added a new titularity like left side of the FC Barcelona this past Sunday and surely achieved his first reproved of the course in this role. Xavi Hernández bet for repeating the XI that achieved to defeat to the Athletic of Madrid in the day 15. However, almost any player could repeat the performance of that day, included the Portuguese defence.

Although certainly the luso did not finish 'signalled' as the worst of the team, or of the defence, yes that it noticed widely surpassed by the attackers of the Girona in more than an occasion, more still if we take into account that the 0-1 arrived by a played that initiated from his sector. Besides, in the 2-4, with the Barça totally played, went out in the photo in the definition of Stuani when having closed too much in the played and neglect his back, very very taken advantage of by the goleador Uruguayan.

I cancel it did not finish being the important side of other days

The requirement for Cancel perhaps can not be the same in the left lane that in the right to the not being acting in his position and natural profile, but see to a side of the Barça so inferior in defence is clearly something that can not repeat of way continues. The plan of Xavi to join to the luso with three head offices to compensate his irregular offensive work did not finish giving resulted for the first time in the course, by what now will remain to see which plan will have the míster to close the year.

To the Barça subtract him the visits to the Amberes and Valencia, both this week, and finally receive to the Almería the Wednesday 20 December. Two of the three parties show as 'simple' for the Barcelona team, by what Cancel surely could repeat in the left side and can recover confidence, but this Sunday not even in attack could be the decisive that expects .

The offensive football of Cancel did not weigh in the Barça

The side achieved to combine very well with Joao Félix to the 30 minutes inside the area and finished with a finish to the short stick of Gazzaniga that the Argentinian finished detaining very well when keeping his position. Out of this, Cancel finished being little dangerous of face to the rival goal, further of some punctual centre to Robert Lewandowski, although more like individual attempts that really as played that tried to build for the team.
