Total explosion of Barcelona: If you look at the line-up, we play with children! – Športky.sk

VIGO – The three-goal collapse in the second half was recorded by the FC Barcelona footballers on the day of the appointment of Xavi Hernandez as Ronald Koeman’s successor. In Saturday’s match of the 13th round of the La Liga on the soil of Celta Vigo of the Catalans, the temporary coach Sergi Barjuan led for the last time, whose team lost the half-time lead 3: 0.

From the last shot of the match in the 90th + 6 minutes, the home team equalized to 3: 3 thanks to the two-goal Iag Aspas. To make matters worse, the Catalans lost two more injured players. Ansu Fati and Eric Garcia did not enter the second half, and after an hour, Nico Gonzalez had to leave the pitch, who also reported health problems. In particular, the loss of only 19-year-old Fati, who opened the score in the 5th minute, can make the Barcelona people very sorry. Only at the end of September did he return after a 10-month absence and immediately got into shooting form. Against Celta, he injured his muscle again and will not help the Spanish national team at the end of the World Cup 2022 qualification.

Already four matches in the league without winning

Barcelona did not taste the victory in the Spanish league or in the fourth match in the series. At the same time, the first half was above expectations, Fati got the guests into the lead with a technical “wrapper”. 18 minutes into the match, the visitors’ central line of defense had to look on as Sergio Busquets dashed through, knocking home 2 – 0 for Memphisa Depaya. Although the home team also had good chances in the opening 45 minutes, they were only effective in the second act. By the mistake of the goalkeeper Marc-Andreho ter Stegen was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Nolita’s header in the 74th minute meant a contact goal and the skilful ending of Aspas from the last action brought the home team a point.

The players of Frenkie de Jong now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. “We forgot to play football in the second half. We lack personalities. We were too static, we had to show more character. This match was important to move higher in the table, so it’s a hard blow for us.” the agency quoted AFP de Jong, who hit the crossbar in the second act at 3: 2. “It’s not meant to be an excuse, but we had to change tactics completely for injuries. If you look at the lineup, we play with the kids. We bet on the children out of necessity. If all the players are available, we’ll be stronger.” said after his last match on the Barjuan bench. Barcelona ranks ninth in the table.

At the head is Real Madrid

There was enthusiasm in the home camp. Thirty-four-year-old Aspas scored five goals in the season and expressed great satisfaction after the match: “This Celta Vigo never gives up. We’ve shown it in previous matches. We had a very bad first half, we pressed late. They pressed four times and scored three goals, that was hard. But they didn’t do so well in the second half. we had our chances before the break, then we made some tactical changes and the first goal kicked us. “

Real Madrid was again at the top of the table, beating Rayo Vallecano 2: 1 at home thanks to goals by Toni Kroos and Karim Benze in the first half. In the end, Radamel Falcao gave the guests hope, but he did not let the “white ballet” take the prize. He has a two-goal lead over Real Sociadad San Sebastian, who plays on Sunday at Osasuna Pamplona. Sociedad will have one more match played after him. “We had a lot of chances to make the final decision much earlier. When they evened, we got under pressure. But I’m happy, because until their goal it was our best performance of the season,” reviewed Real coach Carlo Ancelotti.
