GÜNDOGAN, BARÇA’S POSITIVE NOTE
It is not a secret for anybody that the FC Barcelona lives in an eternal crisis in which the problems abound and the solutions are not ‘sufficient’. After a slight mejoría that evidenció against the Sportive Alavés, the blaugrana went back to the reality of ‘always’ against the Granada: three goals fit and with a sea of doubts in the defensive saga. The team has left backwards the ‘solvencies’ that did him champion of League and Supercopa of Spain in the past season.
Of the recent performances of the Barcelona group there are few positive points for highlighting. Lamine Yamal has been the most differential player on the lawn, with differences, and against the nazaríes destapó, also, like goleador. Beside the footballer of 16, has been Ílkay Gündogan, the one who has been an exceptional footballer since it landed in the City Condal in the summer of 2023. His level has been always in the highest, but with the last ‘change’ of Xavi Hernández has improved his level.
The midfield player Teutonic is living his best season in what to registers like asistidor refers . Already in the Manchester City with Pep Guardiola had showed to be a decisive player arriving from second line and in the Barcelona group has repeated it, resupplying to his mates of balloons inside the area and, also, appearing like goleador. It is in an exceptional point and of there that it do not surprise the fact that it keep like the player in which more it trusts Xavi.
The point for of the Barça with Gündogan
With the incorporation of Andreas Christensen, that has been exerting like pivote in the last parties, so much Gündogan like Pedri have had the opportunity to advance some metres on the field and be more involved in defensive works with the ‘security’ that the Dutch and Frenkie of Jong will be backing them. In a lot of occasions already had to delay his position in a lot of opportunities to play as ‘5’ in front of the few alternatives that offered the staff.
That Xavi ‘advanced’ to Gündogan has been one of the most important tarpaulins, because the player is comfortable and the team, to the hour to add to the attack, has more solutions. Against the Granada, gave an assistance to Robert Lewandowski -that supposed the 2-2 in the marker- and, a week before in front of the Sportive Alavés had marked his goal and, also, delivered an assistance.
