In the third round of the Copa del Rey, Xavi's Barcelona have won again! They won 2-1 away from "Corolla De la Liga B" side Linares Sport. After winning this match, Barca have remained unbeaten in five rounds in all competitions. It can be said that Xavi's team has gradually entered a good situation, and this Barca team has finally come out of the downturn!
The match against the Nares Sports Club was not very strong due to the fact that the opponent was not very strong. Xavi did not send the full force to play, but reused young players like Dembele. In the end, his change of formation also reaped the rewards! In the opening 19 minutes of the game, although Barca conceded the ball first, they were not in a hurry. Harvey calmly watched the game from the sidelines.
The turning point of the game occurred in the 63rd minute of the second half. Barca superstar Dembele received a pass from his teammates to help the team equalize. The goal once again showed Dembele's skills in front of goal. Although he was plagued by injuries and illnesses, his skills were still very strong. After Dembele scored six minutes later, Barca scored a second goal again, this time with the younger Jutegra.
With these two goals, Barca also successfully reversed their opponents 2-1 away from home. Of course, Barca's victory over their opponents is just a routine operation. The biggest highlight of this game is that Xavi launched a number of young players in Barcelona. And in terms of possession rate, it reached 72%, and the half-time possession rate was as high as 76%! Suffice it to say that Harvey has activated the Barça gene again and is starting to get better!
As we all know, Barca have always been good at the Copa del Rey tournament. They are the team that has won the most titles in La Liga. This season, although Barca have no hope of competing for the title in the league, they are still very much worth looking forward to in the Copa del Rey. After all, this season's championship gold content is not low. If Harvey can lead the team to win the Copa del Rey in the downturn, there is no doubt that his coaching ability will be more recognized.
