Joan García has been one of the star signings of Barça and his performances until yesterday in Oviedo were being impeccable, even savings, as in Vallecas, but in the tartiere he touched him Try the bitter football side: errors, which are lethal in the goalkeepers because they usually end up in goal. The goalkeeper came out in search of a long ball and did well to get ahead and be like a field player, like a libero, but instead of clearing he decided to continue the action. His pass to Casadó was long, bad. The midfielder did not arrive and the ball continued rolling in search of the queen’s boot, who did not think about it, hit precisely over the defense and scored a great goal. The Barca’s failure is clear, but then you had to put it.
The Oviedo surprised a manned Barcelona, but not immaculate. Suffered from its left side, with the Hassan and godson arrivalsespecially one in which Rondón stayed at a palm of the auction, well covered by Eric García. But it also generated many opportunities, enough to have scored a goal, but the stick prevented it once, after a raphinha shot from outside the area, and Aaron Escandell did it on two other occasions: a shot of Rashford and another from Araujo, which the goal cleared with the fists in the line, having the body inside the goal. Barça had the ball, I found Pedri, who moved the direction of the attack from side to side, looking for the spaces that did not appear. Dani Olmo was lost, Officered Rashford on the left wing, insistent, but raphinha in his attempts to overflow and desperate Ferran, trying to make a wall to leave the ball to his companions in the face, but very guarded. The Oviedo retreated and did not want to be a too baroque team: direct football to Rondón, with the eternal Cazorla as a pitcher.
Flick changes, decisive
Flick soon moves pieces. After the break came out Of Jong to put your most starter midfielders: the Dutch and Pedri. It seemed to put another march, while the Asturians continued to have their greatest danger in Hassan. The extra speed in the displacement of the ball was to go back to the locals. He was close to the Olmo goal after a raphinha action by the band, and Ferran after a Pedri entrance. All that was on the right. The tie came on the other side, with several players with the changed papers. The daring Araujo wanted to be extreme and dared to face and focus. Ferran did made a striker with a wonderful maneuver, an acrobatic control and auction, but Escandell could also with that … Although not with Eric’s posterior rivet. Two defenses were decisive in there.
Flick’s next movement was forced, since Raphinha noticed some discomfort and was replaced. To the field, Lewandowski. Ferran passed to the left side, in theory, moved more through the middle zone, as if Barcelona played with two strikers to try to finish everything that flew to the area. Reina had another distant shot that Joan García stopped, this time under the goal. But he had a lot of artillery in the field the league champion, who went around the scoreboard in an action as simple as precise. A de Jong, the pin, gave him space and seconds to focus the area, and Lewandowski finished off the squad, to the squad. The Polish is starting this year many games on the bench, Flick wants to take care of it. He has put goals like this with 20 years, he continues to score with the 37 he has now and gives the impression that he would do it all his life.
Barcelona got ahead, but the result was still alive and Oviedo was not willing to surrender. Brekalo took Hassan’s relief in the right area of Oviedo’s attack, this time facing Eric, who ended up from the left side (another position for him), and twice his centers smelled like goal. The first cleared her Araujo throwing himself at the ground at risk, and then Koundé was putting the tip of the boot. They did not give the strength for more to the Paunovic team. The game seemed to die in the Barca’s chain, but Araujo closed the result with the third goal. There was still time for Joan García to leave with a good taste, by detaining there in hand.
