Barça is clear about what mistakes it cannot repeat if it wants to beat Naples

BARÇA ‘PLAYS THEIR LIFE’ IN THE CHAMPIONS AGAINST NAPLES

The FC Barcelona had the past Friday a last proof of fire against the RCD Mallorca to evaluate his feelings of face to the next party against the Naples, valid by the turn of the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League. The duel in front of the ‘bermellones’ went back to stage some deficiencies in the Barcelona picture. In fact, as it informed ‘SPORT’, Xavi Hernández showed pessimistic with regard to the game of the team, repeating constantly in the changing room: “If we play like this the Tuesday against the Naples, go us home“.

Little capacity to concretise the occasions of goal

One of the main weaknesses of the FC Barcelona in the clash against the RCD Mallorca was the fault of offensive clarity in the last third of the field. In spite of measuring to a combined defensivamente very solid, the group culé attained to generate more than a self-evident occasion of goal; however, it did not have the capacity and the necessary fortune to attain turn them into effective annotations. The team has a lot of barren possession of the balloon and little capacity to break a background line very planted.

The ‘9’ of the Barcelona picture receive little the ball

Besides, to the combined Catalan costs him diversify his opportunities of goal in all the front of attack. It seems to have difficulties in the connection between the medullary zone and the forward, what causes that the ‘artillerymen’ do not receive sufficient supply of balloons in positions where can create greater nuisance. This explains also the fault of penetration in the area during this commitment. A notable data is that between Marc Guiu (18) and Robert Lewandowski (21), only received a total of 39 times the possession of the spherical, whereas Marc-André ter Stegen, the guardameta culé, received the ball in 46 occasions.

The Barça entrusts a lot to what can do Lamine Yamal

Equally, when the Barcelonan square remains without ideas, tends to depend excessively of the creative skills of Lamine Yamal to resolve the parties. In front of this, there are stretches of the meeting in which the FC Barcelona loads almost all his attack by the right side, what results in a shortage of offensive incursions by other sectors of the field, going back predictable to the team in offensive terms.

The point to correct in the defensive line of the FC Barcelona

Regarding the defence, although the Barça has improved his performances in this appearance, still gives the feeling that it can flaquear anytime if the contrary team greater sample initiative of the expected. Added to this, observes that in the defensive line culé produce numerous individual duels in the own area with the defenders. In this meeting, Cyle Larin and Vedat Muriqi were those who generated more problems for Pau Cubarsí that had an imperial performance and Iñigo Martínez quite correct. Nevertheless, against the Naples, players like Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, invite to think that they could represent a greater danger in the offensive appearance and will require a greater effort by part of the Barcelona cast.
