Something does not work when the best player of the world, Leo Messi, returns to the fields in a festive environment as it is always the one of the Camp Nou, very very accustomed -perhaps too- to sing the goals and the victories of the Barça practically week after week, and the team is not able of fraguar a good result against the Real Betis, that besides arrived with some pessimism to the sanctuary culé.
Leo Messi was able to transform a 'doublet' that helped to the Barça to reduce distances in the marker one and again when the Betis, but in spite of this the team did not leave to do waters in defence along all the meeting, and this caused that the 'doublet' of Leo Messi, that so many times has celebrated with smiles and applauses, this time had a bitter flavour.
'The Flea' transformed two targets that of little served to the FC Barcelona this Sunday, although yes they allowed that the Argentinian recovered the throne of the 'Pichichi' of LaLiga Santander, empatando to nine targets with Luis Suárez in spite of having lost the three last weeks of competition.
The FC Barcelona always has had the will to surround to Leo Messi of the best players, in all the lines, to generate a competitive team season after season, able to struggle for conquering all the titles and especially the UEFA Champions League. However, this Barça of Valverde is doing waters this season in defence, and if the problem does not solve hardly will arrive the trophies.
Leo Messi can not win the parties he only
It results curious that the FC Barcelona have won to the big in the last weeks without Leo Messi and, after the return of 'The Flea' to the terrains of game, have suffered a conclusive defeat against a team that has won him with his same arms.
Perhaps it was by excess of confidence, or because it is necessary to retouch adjust them defensive, but the reality is that the FC Barcelona already is able to lose even when Leo Messi drills twice the contrary goal. All the players and the technical body will have to reflexionar in this regard, all this without despising, of course, the work of a Betis that was stellar in the Camp Nou.
And the rest of the Barcelona staff will have to go back to step forward, as it had done it these last weeks, to guarantee that this type of defeats do not go back to produce , and much less in the Camp Nou. It can 'puncture', but never receiving four goals home. And less a FC Barcelona that has been these last summers of the teams that more has invested in the market of signings.
