The FC Barcelona is undergoing a phase of play much lower than that showed in the first half of the championship. This afternoon, before a highly ordered Valencia CF, again showed the drop in performance that we saw in Anoeta, at the Bernabeu and Camp Nou against Malaga (2-2 Cup) and Osasuna (5-1 league was very misleading). We said two weeks ago that the club had caught cold and despite having made two great games in 2013 (the win at Espanyol and the second leg against Pellegrini's squad), it appears that the Blaugrana just not warm.
Ernesto Valverde had to pull the archive of Paterna and stayed with several aspects that had worked very well to his predecessor, Unai Emery. Pressure lines and high output from the back of the club, executed with great order and collective solidarity. The presence of Victor Ruiz in the double pivot gives the core package without losing touch. Guardado's left wins thanks to his spectacular whole physical display, as capable of reaching baseline as to help his side at all times.
On the right, the pleasant surprise of Bernat in ownership, a fair award partidazo is shot in Riazor to wake up your computer. But most surprising was undoubtedly Banega alignment in the playmaker, now it seems with one foot out of the club for their continued lack of discipline.
The gala Barça team by Puyol Mascherano, who finished entering the Argentine, who had earned a silly yellow and lost most sets with Soldier. There are two players that the new year has laid them especially bad. The first to Xavi, who can not impose his bandleader role. Two reasons come to mind: the participation of the team Fàbregas leaning towards verticality, eating the Terrassa by the way, a physical heaviness (not a simple tiredness) Xavi itself.
The other crack is Messi low hours. He put his goal for the 12th consecutive time, but it was a penalty, the rest of the game was slow and Fallon, some defects increase with the sense which insists the move away from the penalty area. Its unmatched quality allows glimpses, as the extraordinary pass outside to leave Cesc in the shooting position, but even these gestures can hide the fact that Messi is far from its best.
Valencia went ahead, ironies of life, with a goal of Banega, that the club was quick to respond to such maximum penalty converted by Messi. The match moved at all times most desired parameters that Roura Valverde and Valencia shot on goal more than your opponent (6-2), something unusual for Barca. Another fact that demonstrates the blaugrana arítmico party is the large number of turnovers (90), which together with the low achieving recovery in forward positions makes clear how uncomfortable it was Barca and showed great team order che.
Despite its sour triennium against Madrid, Valencia de Valverde is on track. If The Txingurri manages to put in the rotation (and to grow) to Bernat and Channels, Banega gets to stretch to be whatever is left in the club, he has a team with Jonas, Guardado, Piatti, Valdez and Feghouli (already Africa Cup again) to keep climbing in the standings. That's right: he was not injured soldier because he has no substitute if it is worth.
While Tito Vilanova continues his treatment in New York, Roura has to change the way your team. Maybe it's time to bring some changes made during matches to the starting lineup. Despite his goal assists in recent weeks, Alves is far from where it was. The number of balls lost and the number of hits trouble in which their comrades, more weight should be given alternatives Adriano and Montoya in the template. The big difference of points separating him from his pursuers in the league do not help maintain good voltage at weekend parties, but there can end up losing too bellows for when around the Cup and, above all, the Champions League tie with AC Milan. Something that, again, can only be solved by turning some pieces from the board.
