Good entry, poor exit
He Barça He entered the field wanting to put pressure on the local field and score goals. Ten attitude and well distributed positions with Married and Laminate back to the starting eleven.
In front, the Majorca in 4-4-2 with Antonio Sanchez (instead of larinaccording to my criteria) near the ‘Pirate‘ Muriqi. The hosts also wanted to play on the away side but quickly saw that Flick’s team moved the ball faster and put better pressure. The scenario was clear: ball to Laminate and Bucket outside now Elm, Raphinha either Ferran Torres inside. Lewandowski to rest after so many games in a row. The Catalans’ good first quarter was rewarded in the most unexpected way: they failed Mojica in the clearance (right ‘stick’ leg) and Ferran Torresinside.
He wanted more Barça but he was left without second prize. own Ferran, Laminate and Raphinha they forgave Roman.
And Mallorca responded, also with good combined football, and the tie was provided Maffeo to Muriqi after the side avoided the dreaded offside. That happened with the break ringing the bell. And yes, Blaugrana anger.
Raphinha continues in another dimension
In the second act the Barça team shone in Son Moix. The reason had to do with the punch; with the increase in quality finishing off the job. Before the scoring storm broke out, it was only fair to award the merits to those who, chronologically, acquired them. I start with flick not making changes at half-time but convincing the team of his greater finishing quality. Then to the choice of Laminate directing the ball in the race, desperate, Johan Mojica to ‘take’ the penalty. And the responsibility assumed by Raphinha executing the corresponding penalty.
From 1-2, minute 56, provided by the left foot of the Blaugrana captain, Mallorca risking defensive positions. For Raíllo, Valjent, Morlanes and even Samu Costaa guaranteed problem if Barça improved in the final meters. What he asked for happened flick at break.
The works of art
You can win in many ways, tactics above all, but the best football is aesthetic. Yesterday Laminate He didn’t score, he had them, but the vision and assists of Lamine Yamal They were above and left with a hypnotic effect to all the fans who gathered at Are Moix.
Bucket was an almost permanent nuisance but Laminate It was of a beauty that enriches the desire to see good football. In the 1-3 he presented the ball with the outside of his left foot, which would be difficult even for a right-hander. You have to see it first; Second, do it.
But he didn’t stop at that, he repeated the delivery at 1-4, finally finished off by De Jong (before Get lost made changes and flick also) to be crowned the best assistant of LaLiga without discussion. He Majorca wanted to go up but ended up conceding the fifth, the work of the insistent Paul Victorin full Blaugrana effervescence.
Reflection: you have to be constant. Prohibit yourself from being intermittent.
