Rayo makes Barça a great leader | Soccer | Sports

Barça recovered the leaders after a major match against a spectacular Vallecano ray. That the reconquest of the head of the championship was assumed, as if it were a natural process in the Flick team and was difficult to digest any adverse result, even if 14 days are still there and the three candidates have granted many points in the league . It was not a matter of impatience, it does not seem that the team feels favorite to the title, but rather it was a matter of self -esteem, reconquest, of completing the comeback two months after the defeat against Atlétic First position of the League.

The victory was as hard as meritorious because the ray was a man team in Montjuïc. There was no truce from minute one to the last in a stressful encounter that ended in the arc of Szczesny with an occasion of fruits. The Barça defended the penalty goal of Lewandowski and the leadership as if they were the title in the Olympic. They needed Flick of all their troops to contain an opponent who had nine games without losing for the 12 that Barcelona has already added.

De Jong seems to follow the path of Szczesny and if the goalkeeper won the ownership of Peña, the Dutchman has imposed himself as a midfielder to Casadó. Veterans strengthen as soon as they recover the form while Olmo continues in the waiting room and does not doubt. Araujo is a discontinuous defense and is assumed that Koundé fell from the formation in favor of Héctor Fort because the Frenchman came late to Flick’s talk. The choice of the defenders had their crumb for the speed and depth of the lightning attackers. The grace of the Íñigo Pérez team is explained by its collective intensity and dynamics and also for the quality of ISI, Frurutos and Álvaro García.

It is not easy to penetrate the ray lines. The players press very top, jump and meet from the dividing and cause the opponent not to feel comfortable, so that the Barca game was little fluid, very blocked and difficult to elaborate, especially by the aid in the containment system and The brand about Pedri. The threat came on the sides, more because of the bucket than by Lamine’s, both pending of Lewandowski’s movements. The game seemed to be in dead time when the fans began to chant Pedri’s name after the anger was armed in the North Fund.

The music encouraged with the Canarian wheel, excellent in defense and attack, until enabled Raphinha in a large inner pass that caused the battle intervention. It was necessary to be very effective in the selective arrivals and the Brazilian did not succeed in the two he had before the VAR claimed the attention of the referee for a grip at the exit of a Pathé Ciss corner Iñigo Martínez. Lewandowski transformed the penalty and scored his goal 20. Lamine did not succeed in a double chance in the right poststick. The play was a turning point in Barcelona’s vigorous football.

The Barca ones loosen and the players of Íñigo Pérez drilled the Barca sides for a quarter of an hour with the stabs of Isi and Álvaro. The goal was around the goal of Szczesny for a while. The veteran goalkeeper was agile at a Ntenka and fast auction before Álvaro’s later harassment. There were even somewhat canceled offside to fruits. The final affront of the ray seemed to demand a review of the Flick plan. It happened that there were no changes in Barça and the ball continued in the Szczensy area. The coach preferred to correct the distances between players to have a better control of the game around Pedri.

The Barcelonistas better adjusted the pressure, insisted on possession and initially limited the risk of lightning. The demand was so tremendous that Flick had no chick left to oxygenate his defense because the ray did not give up and the front did not end the plays against battle even with the departure of an undetectable player like Dani Olmo. The Barca ones endured with firm foot and certified their return to the leadership at a time of maximum excitation of Montjuïc.
