Barca have lost back-to-back at home
For the first consecutive home defeat in 19 years, Barca experienced a nightmare week, bid farewell to the European post-war league title theory hopes are almost shattered, behind the four consecutive games of the first loss of the first goal by the relegation team clean sheet, is the embarrassing reality that the offensive line has gradually weakened since the century war, and there is no effective offensive weapon except Dembele.
In 4 days, the only home defeat of this century, Real Madrid won the championship with 7 more points
Europa League out of the superimposed ticket storm, Barca outside the field a lot of negative news, the field also failed to dispel the clouds with 8 consecutive league wins, but the first time in the history of the team lost to Cadiz (14 games), two consecutive seasons of 4 games with the same opponent 0 wins (2 draws and 2 losses), is the first time after the 2006-08 4 games before the manager Valverde led the Spaniards won, the last home losing streak dates back to 2003, 2-4 defeat to Lacco after 1-2 defeat to Juve, the first time in the 4 days of the internal and external war home losing streak is the first time in this century.
Home defeat to relegation teams
Although Barca retained the second place in the league due to Sevilla's defeat, but it has reached 15 points behind the leaders, and Ancelotti's team only needs to take 7 more points to win the cup, and it is expected to realize the dream in two rounds. Away to Real Madrid 4 goals, so that Xavi's prestige reached its peak, but the league competition still depends on the high winning rate, and unlike An Shuai, who played the third highest number of points in the history of the team in the past 10 years, Barca's overall winning rate this season is only 47.8% (46-22 wins), the lowest in this century, Xavi's league score of 17 points, also 10 points behind Real Madrid.
Barca's stubborn illness in the first half returned, and the relegation team away from home kept consecutive clean sheets
Araujo was suspended with Pique injured, the two strongest and more stable centre-backs were absent, Xavi could only send Eric Garcia and Lenglet to combine, conceding 1 goal seemed to be a basic consumption, in fact, if andalusia team grasped it properly, it should not score only 1 goal. The home team can not take the bottom 3 weak team, Barca should reflect on not scoring, espanyol star Sergio laid out a tight defensive line, into the 2004-05 Season Atletico madrid and the 2007-0 Season Getafe after the first single season away clean sheet Real Madrid Barca La Liga, but Barca attacking dud is not one or two games - can you count how many goalscores the goalkeepers such as Ledesma, Trapp (Frankfurt) and Cardenas (Levante) have made?
Cadiz conceded zero goals with the Camp Nou at the Bernabeu
Barca recovered from the dilemma of scoring difficulties in the first half, scoring 0 goals in 5 consecutive games, and after 4 goals of triumph at the Bernabeu, they did not play such a smooth and gorgeous performance, winning only 1 goal against Sevilla and only killing Levante in stoppage time before 1 draw and 1 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt. Xavi tried to adjust, aubameyang, who has only scored one goal in the last five games, to give way, and Memphis Depay, who started for the first time this year, performed worse, shooting 1 shot all over the game. The closest to scoring was Luc De Jong, but the super substitute's powerful header, like Aubameyang's volley, could not surpass argentina's veteran goalkeeper Ledesma's ten-finger mark. Offense Dora Span? With 18 shots, the expected goal was only 1.3, less than the away team's 2.
Expected goals were not as good as the away team
Dembele is not Messi, but Barca makes him more and more like Messi the more he plays
Dembele became the Barca pillar
Barca's problem is still too dependent on Dembele. 7 shots on goal, 13 breakthroughs and 11 successes, 19 confrontations to win 13 times, a series of statistics are the first in the team, The data agency showed a high score of 8.8, saying that it is not too much to say that it is not too much to support the attack line, especially in the first 60 minutes, its personal dribbling advance is almost the only effective means of attacking the attack, the performance of two or three people in a row into the box has been common recently, teammates are also accustomed to moving to the right side of the ball and striving for development, whether it is sports warfare or set-pieces, Barca Almost all effective attacks are from dembele's feet, and the players who can completely dominate the attack in the past are only Romesi Jr. in the past.
Single-handedly assault
Dembele touched the ball position
However, Dembele is not Messi after all, although he is the first person to assist in La Liga this year, he is not known for scoring goals, he cannot consume most of the opponent's defensive forces to chase and block like Messi, so that his teammates are in the ideal shooting position, and the fineness of his passing cannot be compared with the former Barca No. 10, and the opponent knows that as long as he jams his cross route, cut off his connection with his teammates as much as possible, and his direct threat to the goal is not large. Cadiz handed over a high score answer sheet, Dembele conceded the ball 31 times is not ideal, although the repeated changes of line and rhythm are wonderful, can directly create shooting opportunities for teammates only 2 times, can only try more to shoot their own shots, 7 shots only 2 shots and mediocre standards, busy half a day to do half the work.
Efficiency is not ideal
In the end, although Dembele can also send a direct assist in the 10th position, it is essentially an auxiliary weapon that relies on the side space to provide fire support, and it is self-evident that it is accustomed to cutting in from the ribs laterally to destroy the opponent's side and middle of the defensive line, rather than breaking vertically like Messi and directly killing the defensive zone. But Harvey has no other choice at the moment, Pedri is recuperating, opponents are becoming familiar with Felan's interspersed methods, and no one can give a lethal and sharp pass to Share Dembele's worries except for the sometimes imperceptible Frankie De Jong. As a result, Barca No. 7 can only do as big as Messi did back then, repeatedly brushing out amazing data, but unable to pull the team out of the trough.
Without Pedri, Barca's winning percentage plummeted
