No game, no sanity. Nothing escapes nonsense. nor the team Xavi’s It makes sense that even those who try to make decisions on behalf of the manager do not know how to separate the field from the penalty area. Couch ball. This Barça where nothing is built, something is destroyed, Oriol Romeu or Koundé It is nothing more than a metaphor for the football and emotional decay of a group trapped in shame.
Barça lost to this team in Antwerp VanBommel He had not even scored a point until the Blaugrana’s visit. Barça managers lost 2.8 million euros, which they planned to cover some of the management’s deficits, chained to fictitious money in the funds. And Xavi lost a significant part of his credit due to bad decisions and poor performances of players who still believed that the mistake was due to the environment or the Holy Spirit.
Surrealism has long made its fortune at the club. The events of the last few hours were funny; A football player named Lewandowski did not even need to wear a light suit, because the Pole is always that way by decree, whether by himself, his coach or the president. What difference does it make? Of course, protesters have little future in this Barcelona where Joan Laporta has carte blanche. You either applaud and accept it, or you deny it and leave. At the boardroom table or bench. During, Xavi and Deco They are playing cat and mouse without realizing its absurdity. Lewandowski He played for 70 minutes. He didn’t even finish.
Gundogan, who thought he would enjoy a few days off on Monday, had to travel to put his hip on the bench and then go for a walk after Xavi considered saving him. He was there too AraujoAt least it was left off the list. By the fire there was only mercy De Jong.
Patchwork ‘Eleven’
As a result, despite pressure from the board to collect UEFA’s €2.8 million for the win, Xavi did not hesitate to put together a starting 11 full of scraps. After the collapse against Girona in Montjuïc, only four players in the starting 11 were repeated: the non-substitute goalkeeper (Iñaki Peña), The two defenders (Koundé and Christensen) and the aforementioned Lewandowski are resisting everything in their offices as they await the arrival of Vitor Roque as if the young Brazilian has dipped his boots in holy water.
Although the problem with this Barcelona team may not be the value of the pieces but rather their usefulness in what is a team sport. In other words, Xavi’s understanding of the game is defective, but this time his team, from the same squad, woke up unconscious on the night in Antwerp. First, the football player who wore diapers had to pay the price. Hector Castle, The 17-year-old full-back from La Masia who found himself making his debut in the worst possible conditions. Not even half a minute had passed and the boy had already lost a ball that left the locals an inch away from the first goal.
Oriol Romeu, the mirror of terror
Although we had to wait a blink of an eye for it to arrive. Iñaki Peña tried to start the game by connecting with the following people: Oriol Romeu In the field. It is possible for the midfielder to give the ball to the opponent, either due to a lack of confidence in a place he feels does not belong to him, or because his feet and head do not respond to very high tension situations. This was not a check. Not a bad pass either. It was simply a mirror of the most mundane terror that eclipsed us helplessly. and young man Vermeeren Already generating very good vibes in Montjuïc (at 18 years old) he just had to finish the job.
The 1-0 score did not help Barça wake up. Sergi Roberto and FerminRomeu’s guards failed to offer the depth they claimed, with Lewandowski’s face as bad as his flag. So of course everything had to happen because of what Lamine Yamal could create from the right shore.
Thus, after playing a first act that was as strange as the second act, Barça managed to at least come out of the first half level on the scoreboard. Laminated Yamal He got his base over the ball, deceived the hard-working Yusuf and managed to find it. ferran torres where it should be. Ferran controlled well, did his best, but at least he managed to beat the goalkeeper.
But Oriol Romeu, swallowed by the ghost of Busquets, returned to his old ways. He lost the ball and this time Janssen scored. And he still managed to thank the referee because he regretted sending him off Sergi Roberto VAR warning for offside for a strike or in the middle of Koundé’s walk through the clouds. Not enough, the French defender broke Marc Guiu’s instant draw and dragged Barça into trouble in the dusk. He directed the grotesque final game without hesitation, which resulted in the . Ilenikhena.
The only reason why Barça will qualify for the last 16 rounds of the Champions League as first in their group despair. It’s not time for excuses, it’s time to blush.
