FC Barcelona could not get the equalizer (1-1) on his visit to Copenhagen in the Champions League match. The Danes, who had already put in trouble the whole match FC Barcelona in the Nou Camp, again proved they know where to look for the tickling to Barca. And Pep Guardiola was commissioned to make clear that it would be a tough game, which the Copenhagen would be in senior positions in the Spanish league . Maybe.
However, without wishing to belittle a team that has played at a high level in both parties, does anyone think this team can be a full match for FC Barcelona? It must be acknowledged that the club is at his best. It is normal, because we have become accustomed to a spectacular football, which now has lowered the bar so we tend to see catastrophic.
Again no disrespect to Copenhagen. Is a team that has impressed us all for the better. An organized, with a well-established defense and attractive bet for a game. A team of great physical and devilishly fast. And with a coach, Solbakken, who has known how hurt the Barça-knowing the risk that entails, pressing out the ball, looking back Alves, etc.
But where just the merits of Copenhagen and Barcelona deficits begin? For instance, the pressure from the first line, key in the success Catalans, has not appeared. Probably because of accumulated fatigue, and which has practically the same eleven which played against Sevilla. Barça will not look good physically. Especially to a Xavi has gone unnoticed, and that's bad for the club. If Xavier does not appear, the game culé weakens, and it is evident that through some physical problems to consider.
Barca had the ball again, but how have you had? Not the roll of other seasons. Football has not deployed this combination and triangulation at high speed, causing the opponent to fall apart much you want to order. Rather has been a rhythm game with a football on flat, horizontal and abusing touch through ball to Villa and Messi, always without success. Mobility, a hallmark of this team and key to its success, has been conspicuous by their absence.
No need to blow an alarm, missing more. In fact, I think the Barca slump is mainly due to physical problems. Surely tomorrow will put forward to Real Madrid or Manchester United and become pure motivation to get better version. But what not to do is hide your shortcomings inflating the virtues of the rival. The Copenhagen has proved a good team, better than expected, but can not serve as a measuring stick.
