Barca wins but fails to convince

The FC Barcelona beat Valencia CF for the minimum thanks to a shoe to Hadrian's final exit of a corner. Remain the Blaugrana added and while moving away from its best, the best news for the Blaugrana is booted League BBVA with three wins, something not achieved since the time of Louis Van Gaal. Valencia, however, has scored just two points in the first three days, which has been dissipating the good feelings left at the Bernabeu.

Tito Vilanova continued with changes or rotations in the team. Beyond choosing the left side, the most striking was the absence of Busquets and Iniesta for the third best team in the league. Guardiola has already committed at the time the mistake of underestimating an opponent with the rotations (remember the defeat in Pamplona last course with Sergi Roberto starts) and Titus may have happened last night.

As much as the game is in the Camp Nou, the team does not seem che best for the team presented without two points of the triangle that moves the team, one of the substitutes a rookie. If fitness is a major concern, it means the ownership of Alves, with hamstring so touched that, after missing the match at the Bernabeu, could not play more than half the game.

Alex Song premiered ownership and caught a good game. He said the pass in the early stages of construction and rightly read the times that lie between the core to form a line of three to cover the simultaneous rise of the two sides. What more needs to work is mobility in midfield and the choice of pressure movements, although, being his second game as Barca, their score is good. Looks like it could fit the position better than Mascherano.

Mauricio Pellegrino played with his eleven type when you consider the physical problems of Gago, who made ​​way for its entry Albelda up to a quarter of an hour remaining, and Mathieu, prompting Cissokho's debut as a starter. Soldier stood a few feet forward to yours with a remote shot that Valdes licked squad. Valencia would not so close to the goal until the last minute with Victor Ruiz's header. The only one I found last night's network path was Adriano Correia, who took a short corner launched between Xavi and Messi to launch a missile that entered unstoppable spiders where they sleep.

Barca almost trembling seize the moment of its rival after the goal to put more land in between, with the times of Peter and, above all, that of Cesc, who crossed both his shot that ended up kissing chopped wood . Pedro and Cesc are living a very early season different. The canary seems to have regained what he had lost more than a year ago, that point and that feeling of giddiness ubiquity with which Henry sat and amazed all and sundry.

At the other pole is the Arenys. Fàbregas The case is not about you can not find your site (? Wheel, playmaker, false nine?) But not being able to be decisive in the team's victories. In the horizontal, the heir of Four not just getting into the rhythm of Xavi, and in the vertical, both unbalances not as expected. They are the same shortcomings with the submission of the previous year in his return home, but aggravated by two circumstances: now makes up goals (as in the first phase of last season) and, more worryingly, shows no sign of having learned a lot in a year.

Clearly he needs more time and may serve as a public patient is more helpful to listen as the buzz grows around him. Rate by now to Cesc as unfit for Blaugrana project is simply absurd. Their growth may have been significantly affected by the coaching change: to be seen what role (or roles) that just marking Tito. Cesc need time and trust. If the stands or your own technician will cause a sense of play constantly with the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, not be helping you find the light at the end of the tunnel.

Half an hour from the end Iniesta left at the scene of Arenys. Barca experienced some improvement in the intermediate section of the second half, but it would be unfair to determine that the only reason was the change of Catalan by the manchego. By then I was not going left Valencia fuel, which earned him defend a few yards back and not be so spirited in their outputs. That allowed Xavi to advance the field of operations and, playing much closer che area, so did the feeling, somewhat unreal, that the team had improved.

In that stretch of more control of possession was at least found the way to Barca's goal Diego Alves (more than twenty minutes without any shots on goal). When she came to try their luck, of course, through Messi, the Argentine again met with the figure of a goalkeeper who always grows before him. Problems for close encounters is one of the conditions that should be treated as a Vilanova new surgeon boss. It's a matter of not only risk losing points, but also save large dose of effort, closing a game-time, are reserved for future times of need.

Barca was not giving anything away to end a draw. Already in the discount, Tino Costa bounced a corner at the near post with poison Victor Ruiz sent off for very little. Unmarked, with more power coming from behind (one of the disadvantages of the zone defense), ate Mascherano and Valdes forward to a crestfallen. The Valencia not caught a late point for a few random centimeters.

Barca Tito needs to improve, that's undeniable. But the team, in general, is as good as you were saying about Cesc in particular. He's starting the course and the team is still green. However, the League is meeting the demands, leading daily duties. As long as well, there will be time to evaluate the Titus Team when exams come true. Tear one's hair in early September would be crazy.

Pellegrino Valencia just not starting. It started with a good draw at the Bernabeu, but in his home debut ended up losing two points against Depor gained after 3-1. And last night was not any good at the Camp Nou. The team is in need of points che, with only two in three games, but we must not forget that two of these duels were nothing more and nothing less than paths visits to Madrid and Barcelona. These two dates given for lost almost all their calendars, they already have been removed from the top, starting point of the capital. We'll have to see how he recovers Gago and if as said in the first games, the team grows around him.
