Barcelona: A comeback, football and lots of encouragement

Barcelona, ​​March 4 (EFE). - If football, as Jorge Valdano said, is a state of mind, Barca has left his football and has the mood on the floor after stringing three defeats in the last four games, be eliminated in the Copa del Rey and a compelling comeback against Milan to avoid being left out of the Champions League.

The collapse has occurred in recent weeks, after a superb victory in Malaga that closed a first round league dream (18 wins and a draw), and when goals from Leo Messi rose above everything, even the absence of coach Tito Vilanova, who continues his cancer treatment in New York.

Inexplicably, the Barca game has fallen like a house of cards. Reliability defense is nonexistent, the team on offense is predictable and marveled that group that has gone flat and did not find answers. Of not requiring the team coach, seemed to work with their automatics with indifference to the tactical-miss coach Vilanova and conceding goals in every game they played since Jan. 10.

Neither the Barcelona players appear to be in the best physical. It is customary at this time, the team return loads and footballers preparation costs them be at their best, but surely the dynamics of teams have more to do with the moods created by the actual results of the preparation physics.

In any case, the identity of the team are unrecognizable. No pressure or depth, Barcelona needs to react while in the eye of the storm in Europe, with an obligation to overturn a 2-0 to Milan, and the general perception that the league is already won for months.

And yes, Leo Messi still ticking. Argentina leads the 39 goals in the League, 50 in the 40 matches played so far, but not the same. His wisdom, his many, had served to disregard a situation which has now been uncovered, although the club is in a position to reverse this situation if he can continue to live in Europe.

But not only question the team after his recent performances, also in the institutional area Barca goes through moments of doubt. A matter of inputs used by radical followers and launching a flare to the stands of the classic Madrisistas during a week ago at the Camp Nou have put the spotlight on the board.

There has been a change in policy with the radicals. From Joan Laporta zero tolerance to the possibility raised by Rosell to create a tier of animation, a proposal rejected after recent events in the Camp Nou.

Flares and presence of 'Boixos Nois' European movement in the team, but also issues settled in the courts with the previous directive, a dynamic that surrounds the everyday club in recent months.

The lack of leadership is evident in the dock. Vilanova addresses from your mobile phone to the team, but their players are orphaned and need a technician with ascending to guide them.

The team, meanwhile, awaits the outcome of the tie of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Manchester United, the result of which could lower the tension. For now, the players are two holidays, next Thursday will train in double session and this week have a single commitment, next Saturday's league match against Deportivo.

All energy will be focused on the match against Milan. Since a few days ago said Xavi Hernandez, one of the leaders of the club, this team that has won everything lacks a comeback to close the circle. A comeback, football and lots of encouragement.

The struggle for survival has given strength to a Granada rivals pressured by their inefficiency, with holes behind and management problems in midfield

Lamellae RAFAEL | GRANADA. -
1. Since that review scorer, not playing, against Malaga at the Rosaleda, the Granada has not returned to be in decline. He has flirted with the bottom, their football has been irregular, costing the Anquela post, but for eleven days has remained above the cutoff. The others had anxiety, which followed a trail without looking back. Think about cycling in the corridor pulling the peloton. Pedal sure, but without reference. The pursuers are started with ardor to overcome. You see asphalt, with the goal still far. The other is eager to get to where the throwing.
2. If Celtic or reach Mallorca losing in duels with Atletico, the water will reach the neck. The struggle for survival has given them the strength to defeat a Granada beset by their inefficiency in front of goal, with holes behind and with management problems in midfield. Also some bad luck, but the random factor is intrinsic.
3. But if the debate continues to revolve around the position in which he serves Brahimi, the team would not address their real weaknesses. It is a meditation expires. For his style, which interferes little point either left or center. Moreover, the fact out of the diagonal band to break frees you from any sticky marks. It is the system that chains into French, but his penchant for dribbling, wonderful as they leave, but often abusive. Exactly the same was happening in their country. Follow uncorrected. His talent is not disputed.
4. Buonanotte showed him the way. Far from making Torje, Argentine appeared the landing zone. When was passing, caused danger. When dribbled, caused faults. From the band centers served. Its potential is greater and will continue lessons with minutes.
5. Alcaraz developed a theory to arrive. Needed to compensate for the problem of gathering end players that have better relationship with the auction. So opted for two strikers. So fast men introduced in the bands that were shot, and Nolito or Torje. That meant sacrificing principle to classic playmaker. In return, the Granada has led in every game more approximations. But Aranda's cloudy in the shot and is a drag. If this were a game of robots, Alcaraz would have relieved after consecutive mistakes. But it was to point and strikers are strange. On days like this, sometimes the most difficult score. Not so in the stands and they put the cross coach.
6. Suddenly, part of the environment you want to remove everything. During the first two wins, no contest Brahimi minutes. Now sacrilege is highlighted as its substitution. But their presence in against one of the front does not guarantee that the average score improved either. Zaragoza is a possible test of an alternative style to vertical which had posted so far. He, and El-Arabi Torje fight for a place that might bring a picture different, except with the Moroccan sticker change unlikely.
7. Groping the upstairs area but perhaps Lucas disliked the behavior of some elements of lagging areas. It would be unusual to exercise drastic measures but you never know. The week will shed light.
8. At Granada cost you a horror score but also govern. Since Alcaraz came, everything is much more academic. The lines move with homogeneity, but need some sediment on average. That's where they have to resurface Rico and Recio, who are struggling to adapt to certain needs of the parties. At the focal point of the lack of coordination arise enough to give breath to the rivals.
9. Nyom return to the right side. Ortiz is a worthwhile substitute, but French has improved in certain facets deficit and remains an anvil when I try to surprise. It came from a sweet moment and now rested above. Their presence in the Romareda is assured. As long as well, is indisputable.
10. The evil of others is also rojiblanco relief. The defeat of Sevilla keeps Celtic in the margin of a win over the Vigo. That gives another day. One consolation something pragmatic, too petty, but evident, which can not be a pass. The Granada has to increase its level of demand and psych than expected in Zaragoza. As in Riazor, is foreign pressure. You will have to tinker with it, as did the Mallorca.
