Barcelona drew 1-1 with Valencia, currently in the standings with one more round, only the fourth-ranked Atletico Madrid is one point higher, although the team still has the advantage of competing for the title, but after a few games, for the fans, it seems that there is no hope, successive rounds of defeats and draws, has made the morale and self-confidence of the Barcelona team disappear, they have no hope to meet the next game, maybe what kind of changes, can make the team reborn.
Xavi got out of class, the most spoken voice in this game, it stands to reason that Barcelona's current lineup system, if it is changed to other coaches, will not be so embarrassed, and now Xavi is going further and further in the pass control system, you know, the current lineup is really not suitable for playing pass control, and Barcelona's entire midfield, there is only one qualified player, he is Messi's wealth after Messi.
11-Raphinha, 14-Felix (72'7- Ferran Torres Lewandowski
On the forward line, Barcelona spent money to introduce three players, Raphinha, Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, this is the idea of the management, or Xavi is also involved, I don't know, but now Xavi has begun to shake the pot, Xavi said that the introduction of these players has a lot to do with the management, and he is just the executor, which proves that Xavi does not have too high authority in Barcelona, and the introduction of players has nothing to do with Xavi.
Well, even the management, Xavi should have made these players kneaded together as a whole and formed a good tacit understanding across the forward line, but no, 1500 million euros, for last season, there may be a title in the account, but for this season, it is a waste, next summer, these three players, it is likely to leave.
And Felix's performance has been doubted by fans, in general, Felix is indeed a very suitable player for Barcelona, he plays a great role on the field, but as a striker, the most important thing is to score, in Barcelona's current weak forward line, Felix can still show a high level of performance, it is not easy, but now Barcelona's style of play, anyone may be useless.
8-Pedri, 21-De Jong, 22-Gundogan (81'27-Yamal).
Barcelona's midfield line is the most important part of the entire passing and control system, so during the Guardiola period, many of Barcelona's midfielders were the best in Europe, coupled with the unrivaled forward line, which made Barcelona an indispensable cosmic team, all of which complement each other.
However, the current Barcelona, in addition to the forward line pulling the hips, the midfield line currently has only one qualified player, at the root of Barcelona's passing system, De Jong, Messi's wealth.
Barcelona faced Valencia, a pick pass in about 70 minutes, so that Barcelona old fans seemed to see the original Universe team, but in Xavi's team, such a system has not disappeared, but there is a lack of such a player, and in the period of the six crowns, such a pick pass has been tried and tested, which is the most practical in the tactical system, and it is also the most difficult to resist the opponent's team.
If Manchester City's Rodri is an important part of the team, then in Barcelona's passing and control system, De Jong is the best in the game, and the entire midfield and midfield play style is still carried out according to the pass control system, then Barcelona only De Jong is worthy of this team, and other players don't know what the so-called pass control is, and they have lost their original shadow.
Summary
Barcelona's transmission and control system is a unique study in football, even if it is thoroughly studied by the opponent, as long as there is a soul, it is still the highest level of play, but now Xavi and Barcelona are just in vain, they still stand at the highest point of the transmission and control system, but there is no soul to support this style of play. Relying only on one De Jong, it is simply difficult to make the transmission and control system play to the extreme, and unless Xavi gives up the transmission and control system, it will be difficult for Barcelona to improve.
