Dafter three games in United Stateswe can say that the right is, today, the greatest strength and, at the same time, the greatest weakness of this Barcelona. That’s where the most danger comes from, but it’s also where they do the most damage.
In the first two games, Raphinha presented his credentials and application for the starting role in this team, but in dallas I took the floor Ousmane Dembl. The Frenchman, who had been disconnected in the first matches, marveled at his performance against the Juventus.
It was Demb’s spectacular double
The mosquito He scored two house-brand goals. One of those in which he enters from the side squirming and leaving his rivals broken. With him and Raphinha, the azulgranas have the right to dream.
The problem is that this dream can turn into a nightmare if the sides are not fixed. For the club it is a priority and in the cotton bowl it is clear why. xavier problem with Sergio Robert in band and the result was disastrous. He was replaced after half an hour of sitting and gave arguments to those who did not see his renewal clearly. The coach should keep his idea of having him as a centre-back and remove him from the list of full-backs once and for all.
Lewandowski and Aubameyang
In his second performance like what, Robert Lewandowski I still suffered. It’s difficult for the Pole to enter the game. This time it might be because it didn’t have the most creative interiors in the business. (Pedri, Gavi and De Jong they started on the bench). At this point, it is normal to think that it is part of the process. Just in case, I left a little header to say “here I am”.
xavier he put the Pole as a ram and tried with Aubameyang in band. The former Arsenal player was not comfortable there either.
After the break, the game was a parade of changes. Xavi didn’t break his word when he said he was going to rotate massively so as not to melt his players. Raphinha and Ansu Fati sent two shots to the post.
Millimeter precision! Raphinha and Ansu Fati, two crosses in 10 seconds
The video
The clash also served to see how one of the greats of Europe at this stage of the pre-season. On the physical level, few differences were noted from one team to another. What is clear is that Angel Di Mara going to war The Argentinian, who was in the orbit of the Only This summer, he’s the one who has benefited the most from the Catalans’ problem in the side. lily Keanof course, author of the many.
Like, el Barcelona He is already facing his last stage of the American tour. He leaves for New Jersey, where he will face the New York Red Bulls. An adversary who should put up much less resistance than the Old lady.
