Five points of the last 18 possible against theoretically affordable rivals. Two unjustifiable defeats at home contra The Palms y Leganes. The Canaries, who had not won on a Barça field since 1971. The Pepineros, who had never done so. A defeat more in the Royal Arena and two draws against Celta y Betisrespectively, delivered in the last few minutes. The reality of Barça in the League is that of a galloping crisis that have hidden the victories of the Champions; and that started after the fantastic week (5-1 at Sevilla4-1 al Bayern and 0-4 in the Bernabeu).
Sometimes, there is a crisis that result difficult to explain for the roads inscrutable that has football. In this Barça, however, the snitches and the red lights go off everywhere. Is a perfect cocktail for multiple organ failure. To go more recently, the first cause of the fall has to do with the complacency. The first five minutes against Leganes They are a very obvious button. But not the only one. After the Classicin the victoria by 3-1 in the derby against Espanyolthe team Flick already showed symptoms of a excessive relaxation which made him lose the thread and almost got him into complications. In Donostithe goal disallowed Lewandowski confused him, because the lack of activity of the defense of the Realwhich came at a bad time, made him think of a peaceful night. Term scanning for the blue and white. In Vigo was seen winner after 0-2 and against him Betis He also thought of a placid match due to the doubtful moment that the green and whites were going through. Not to mention the match against The Palmswhere gift the first part. That complacency connects with the irregularity of a team that, half because of its youth and half because of choosing games and selecting some as important more than others, goes from gain in one of the more difficult fields of Europe, as Dortmunda lose at home against him Leganes.
But the culé sinkhole has more reasons. Surely, some link with others. Beyond the 16 balls to the sticks that he has been leading this season, and that he continues to be the top scoring team in the championship, Barça ha lost effectiveness. This deficit in killing instinct and clarity in front of the opposing goal could be related con a drop in physical tone of a team that started the season launched, with devastating second parts in Valencia, Vallecas or the Bernabéu; or against him Athletic at home. Esa drop in energy has an impact directly in the coach, who has shown honesty and courage by ignoringif necessary, of the sacred cows, but what chains matches disfiguring the team with strange changes that, besides, They question their level of imagination and improvisation. Barça has been an example of disorganization in the last games. In Dortmund it came up heads and this Sunday, tails. In Heliópolis the coin fell flat and Barça tied. Finish all parties by system without the sacred cows is done strange. Especially if the changes threaten against the logic. It is evident that, at 36 years old, his physique fails him. Lewandowskibut it is debatable that he cannot combine minutes and take advantage of the spaces it generates Ferran. It’s just a sample. But the tactical photo of the team in the final minutes of the last games they leave him in bad place. And Barça anarchic and lost direction.
Hansi Flick, sanctioned with two parties for his expulsion in Benito Villamarín, other symptom of nervousness, Not only has the team been disorganized. The line defense has also fallen. In San Sebastián and Dortmund he conceded two identical goals. The team made a mistake in the automation and wanted to leave when the rival tsunami was already coming in their direction. Against him Leganes, Munir returned to outwit him easily in the play he gave origin at 0-1. I had done the same Victor Roque in Heliopolis when Barça was ahead. It is obvious that Barça’s results crisis is anything but coincidental. Luckily for Flick and the sports commission that has opted for him, headed by Decoit’s December and Barça has time to react. He has failed in his attempt to establish a safe distance to win the League. But he hasn’t lost it.
