The past Saturday, the Barça won in Girona a derbi that premièred in First Division, but the clash also will happen to the history by one of the ánecdotas that occurred on the terrain of game. Pablo Machín contrived an individual labeling to stop to Leo Messi, and his tactics, like other times, only worked half.
Because although Pablo Maffeo attained desactivar to the Argentinian, did not attain to do it with his mates, and although his team gave the face, finish goleado by the superiority of a Barcelona group marked by the rotations. It is not the first time that produces an adjust that they already tried Balenziaga, Pepe, Arbeloa or Kovacic, and in the few occasions in which it worked, coincided with a bad day of the eleven of the Catalans.
Since it began his career in the first team, Messi has gone maturing like footballer, and that's why if the '10' sees cornered begins to find answers to rid of his chains. And the majority of occasions tries to not to do it only, something that occurred in Montilivi and that have paid some rivals. Too much attention on a player involves spaces for the other, and the rosarino is able to accelerate the game or to move the defences with his simple placing on the lawn. A true danger.
Task of Valverde
Another of which also continues looking for ways to improve the game of the Barça is Ernesto Valverde, that already has marked a tarpaulin with the turn of Leo Messi to the central lane of the attack. His presence has desatacado the Barcelona game, although the Txingurri follows mentalizado that each party will need his own solutions.
The Argentinian answered better in Girona to an individual labeling that also planted him Zidane in the gone of the Supercopa, and the repetition of this tactics has caused that the extremeño put hands to the work to look for the way of contraatacar. Although the team already begins to be very complete, still can grow more.
