The Cup is a title that is reached by a short road and Mestalla understood it. Hard League, Esperanza copera before the ball began to roll.
Barça de Hansi Flick appeared on the Valencian lawn with an eleven in which the greatest novelty was Ferran Torres in Punta. In the Valencia of Carlos Corberán, physical compensation for the squad by modifying his eleven, with respect to the last league meeting, and the defensive preparation with three centrals.
The duel began with two opposite styles and strategies: the checker wanting to press very high to, then be wrapped back. And Barça wanting to discover clarified through the pass because if they threw Raphinha, Fermín or Ferran the internal unchecking, there could be joy.
Mark the first goal, Excellent Balde pass to Ferran in minute 3, a large -standing psychological food for those of Flick and pain for the locals.
The Central Che axis, well exploited by the Barca in Montjuïc, was again decisive territory for Ferran, Raphinha and Fermín. Dimitrievski, eliminated.
2. From Jong and Pedri, Cubarsí and Eric
Barça’s perfect game by pressing much better than Valencia. The early goal back the local lines and the Pedri/de Jong couples, Eric Cubarsí left the midfield Che and, therefore, the participation of Sadiq, Canós and Fran Pérez. All in the field of the host team.
And with that absolute Blaugrana control, the Internal Pass Festival determined the big difference in the numerator. Ferran Torres certified 0-2, minute 17, Fermín on 0-3 driving Dimitrievski and in the 29th minute the FCBARCELONA was already in the semifinals. Ferran Torres did the room by raising his performance to the ‘hat-trick’. Brutal Barça, spectacular the center striker with his movements and definition.
He was missing his football and some goal.
3. Changes but same mentality
Flick was able to do what he wanted due to the exhibition and marker of his eleven. He made changes to the break and also during this second act in which Lamine Yamal erupted.
His dribbles and his goal, minute 59, left Barça as winner, also, of the second half thanks to the great work of the team. Same pressure as soon as I lose the ball and ambition to reach the goal. Olmo deserved it but Dimitrievski took out ‘face’ and closed the result of the match.
Flick has everyone plugged in (waiting for Iñaki Peña to create in his qualities and self -esteem) and that is the best news. Yesterday Barça played against Valencia as if it were in Montjuïc and that is another great fact.
Now, to continue in flight to recover the top of LaLiga
