Dani Olmo returns the joy to Barça | Soccer | Sports

Barcelona came out unharmed and clean, cheerful as Easter, from a game of maximum demand because at stake was the League and Flick decided to play with the most discreet players of the family, a sign that he trusts the squad and not only in a starting team, now diminished by. The overwhelm of the calendar and the diabolical schedules force to rotate and regulate the forces in the absence of five days to finish the championship and in vigils of the Cup final. An excellent goal of Olmo ended the resistance of Mallorca and leaves Barcelona with seven points more than Madrid waiting for their match in Getafe. No one discussed the minimal victory of Barcelona. The result was petty with the good football of Flick’s reservations.

Although some changes were announced for various reasons such as injuries, the fall of the game in the last game (Betis, Dortmund and Celta) and the arrival of the Cup final against Madrid on Saturday in Seville, Flick surprised with an alignment of so much risk that he even played Ansu Fati, which was not starting since October against Sevilla. The striker had an ugly displacement when he left the bench very angry because the technician did not give him minutes. Héctor Fort and Ferran also complained. The three offended formed against Mallorca in a surprising gesture of Flick. The discreet were the same fate Pau Víctor or Pablo Torre or the outstanding Peña. Up to seven novelties were counted in an eleven without Koundé, Cubarsí, Raphinha, Jong, Fermín and Gerard Martín.

It was not easy to adjust the Barca game mechanics with a team as revolutionary and with the changes of position of players such as Eric García, who went on to play right side, while Héctor Fort acted on the left side, the black hole of Barça, as the transitions with Antonio Sánchez and Darder demonstrated from the beginning. The lateral centers of Mallorca demanded before they could be attacked by Larín. The Mallorca defended with three centrals, very well armed in the core and without granting spaces to the attack of Barcelona. The capacity of Barca surprise depended especially on Olmo and Lamine’s imbalance. Leo Román was splendid at the auctions of Ferran, Lamine and Olmo. Araujo failed to empty goal and the stick avoided Gavi’s goal.

The lack of aim, caused by impatience and anxiety, penalized Barça’s cheerful and dynamic football, increasingly intense and daring, always well governed by Pedri. The corner kicks alternated with the montoneras in the Leo Román area. Even Ansu dared to Chutar to endorse the liveliness of Barca football, cooler and more energetic and also less effective than against Celta. The defense of aid and blockages were continuous by Mallorca. Barça’s soda players, strong in intensity and pressure, guaranteed a good auction flow before reaching the break (24) with a goal canceled outside Mateu Jaume’s game in the only shot in Mallorca. The equality on the score was broken as soon as the second part began with an olmo action.

Eric put the ball from the right wing and the steering wheel controlled it, guided it and crossed it with the left -handed to the right post of Leo Román. A lesson on how to beat the. The pause and clairvoyance of Olmo in the area are a blessing for a team that sometimes his eyes are clouded and loses his pulse when he points to the rival goalkeeper in full offensive storm directed by Pedri. From the goal and after a Ríllo header in a foul, the Barca ones began to control the game more, Flick moved the bench and Ansu withdrew cheese of Montjuïc. The Barcelona players began to celebrate their defensive actions while the draft raven was approached.

The stopped ball threatened Mallorca, although the clearest opportunity was Lamine Yamal. The Barcelonaistas did not succeed after a refreshing night at the football level that speaks well of the Barça squad and its good disposition for the final stretch of the League, the Cup final and the semifinals of the Champions League. Flick strengthened the family before traveling to Seville for the Cup final.
