Oriol Romeu seems to be exhausting the little credit he has left at Barça. The one from Ulldecona, in 54 minutes, failed to create big differences in the culé scheme. On the contrary, his performance left a lot to be desired on an afternoon in which, on the other hand, few culés managed to fuel correctly
The FC Barcelona attained to achieve a tie in front of the Ray Vallecano (1-1) in a duel in which, further to be framed in the controversy, after not to have sanctioned a double position advanced in the goal of Unai López to the 39' and a penalti no sanctioned to Raphinha to the 94', the Barça was still in his tonic previous to the international stop. The culés showed a game apparently carente of identity and with few solutions, so much in the offensive section as in the defensive.
In this sense, one of the distinguished has gone back to be Oriol Romeu. The pivote of Ulldecona, after some parties without being headline, went back to go from the start in the diagram of Xavi Hernández. This, apparently, could have been related with the turn of Frenkie of Jong to the alignment, since with the presence of the Dutch, the Catalan has known to explode his best version, fungiendo like escudero in the base of the centre of the field.
Nevertheless, this performance, in place of exaltarle, has gone back him to leave in evidence. The ex of the Girona contested 54 minutes and, afterwards of a fault against Jorge of Fruits that cost him a yellow card, but with which cut a clear contragolpe of the 'franjirrojos', the egarense decided to give him relief by Ilkay Gündoğan. A change that, more than to reserve him of a possible second caution, seems to have had a character more correctivo.
The statistics endorse the bad party of Oriol Romeu in front of the Ray
The one of Ulldecona, in spite of being surrounded of two 'jugones' as Pedri and Of Jong, has not attained to settle to the rhythm of game proposed by the two Barcelona interiors, which was necessary for a party of this style against a group that presionó constantly. In fact, of the bastions that played in the medullary zone culé, Romeu was the one who more lacking received, with a total of five, since it was a constant aim of the pressure of the Ray.
Finally, another appearance that did not back a lot his performance was the subject of the loss of balloons, because it lost a total of six spherical. Although in his register for this party appear a total of 41 positive deliveries of 45 attempts, with a striking effectiveness of 91%, the tendency of these passes was marked, in his majority, by deliveries with little risk and that, in consequence, generated very little danger, in a position in which, in theory, would have to be born the game culé and where has flaqueado a lot in the last days.
