There have been many positive things. The signings are performing at a high level, especially Lewandowski who has five goals and continues to lead the scoring charts. Kound has entered through the front door performing at a high level and already giving two assists, something that is not usual. Raphinha make their debut as a scorer and Dembl, although he is not a signing and is renewed, is getting better every day. Good dynamics Regardless of the names, we must not forget a veteran like Ter Stegen who has been spectacular at this start, the sensations he transmits the team are excellent. The team is pressing very well, which means that they have only conceded one goal. The illusion has reached the fan. The 83,000 spectators that were against Valladolid is a fact that the club values ​​in a very positive way.

Xavi is very clear about it and he is going to be very demanding with his players. “There are things to improve” he said last weekend after the team clearly beat Valladolid 4-0. After the Pizjun game, he also wanted to reduce that euphoria. “I have not felt comfortable at any time. Not even in San Sebatin,” he said. Lewandowski, in the match in Seville. / EFEWithout relaxationThe technician has it clear. Things are going well, the team is in excellent dynamics, especially for the short training time in a squad with seven new players. But you can’t leave room for relaxation. The norm is to lower the euphoria and continue working because it is true that in those two games mentioned by the coach there were moments in which Barcelona was overtaken by the rival. Seville and San Sebastian On Saturday, against Seville, before the goal scored by Raphinha Lopetegui’s men were superior to Barcelona and if it wasn’t for Ter Stegen they would have gone ahead on the scoreboard. Missing pause and control of the match. The same thing happened in San Sebastian where Ter Stegen had to appear again. The goals cover everything, but there is work to be done and they only know it in the coaching staff.
