The Catalan, that contested more than 593 meetings with the elastic Barcelona, being the sixth player with more apparitions for the Barça, assisted to the practical culé in a moment extremely timely. His grata presence could have fungido like an injection anímica and morals so much for the technician of Terrassa, one of his mates of one thousand battles in his period like player, as for the players and the staff technical presents, to those who greeted one by one and those who showed obviously happy by the presence of 'Puyi'.

Carles Puyol went back to go out in defence of 'his' Barça

The called of Puyol was clear, to the equal that in his period like player when it led from the saga and, the majority of the times with the bracelet of captain, urged to the spirit and to surpass the adversity. In this occasion, did exactly the same, backing to Xavi and affirming: "I see Him well, I think that it knows perfectly where it is, a club like the Barça that it is very demanding. Now we are in a moment difficult, but am safe that it goes it to manage and will know to transmit the confidence to the players".

Likewise, to the equal that the technician egarense in his moment, the native of The Pobla of Segur protected to the players and to the Barcelona team in general, sustaining: "Already we know the house, when they lose two parties or there are two parties in which it does not play of the all well there are a lot of criticisms. The requirement is maximum in the team and in Xavi. We have had difficult moments with injuries and this always hampers the game of the team, but have a lot of confidence and at the end the assessments have to do to final of season".

The visit of 'Puyi', a called to recover the attitude in the Barça?

Further of the defence and all the other, the visit of a name of the size of Carles Puyol is vital for the strengthening of a group that, although before the international stop attained a victory agónica in front of the Alavés, has showed a questionable attitude in this meeting and in the previous duels in front of the Shakhtar Donetsk (1-2) and the Real Sociedad (0-1). It seems that the problem goes further of the merely sportive and relates with a mental blockade, as it suggested it the egarense in his moment.

In the actuality, needs a lot of this 'spirit Puyol' to carry out the parties. The gallardía, the pundonor and the mental fortress that characterised to the defender in crucial moments not to break anímicamente and do called of attention to correct attitudes in the Barcelona group, is a resource of the that has carecido lately in the City Condal, where the team has showed some apathy and fault of reaction in punctual moments.

It will be necessary to see if the visit of the defender, together with the words that surely that will have shared, attain to clear and inspire to the ideals of the Barcelonan square, and if the team gives this necessary step at the front so that the things begin to flow after the international stop. A change that has to generate prompt, since the Barça plays half League and will confront a series of key duels in front of the Ray Vallecano, the Port wine, the Athletic of Madrid and the Girona FC.
