Tribune of Valladolid | @tribunava
Those of Ronald Koeman do not show anything solid away from the Camp Nou and the match against Valencia has hurt the culé.
Real Valladolid CF receives FC Barcelona this Tuesday at the José Zorrilla, in a match on matchday 15 of LaLiga Santander, with the intention to make the date suitable to receive an irregular Barça, further away from the Camp Nou, which nevertheless knows that it cannot fail any more.
It seemed to the pucelano coach, Sergio González, “dared“To say that it is the best moment to receive the Blaugranas. Barça have not won away from home in the last four outings, with three defeats and a draw, but Valladolid is afraid to pay for the broken dishes of a Culé team that, despite this, is improving.
The draw at home against Valencia CF on the last day (2-2) left a certain bad taste in the mouth after recovering the initial goal against, but if against Real Sociedad (2-1) it came back and closed the duel, the ‘che’ they tied again to scratch two points, the same ones that move Barça away from the persecution of those above.
Ronald Koeman knows that they can’t fail anymore, and that’s added pressure. ANDhe Valladolid is in a good moment, leaving the initial pothole behind, and has also put up opposition to Barça in recent precedents at José Zorrilla, with losses 0-1.
But, at Barça, there is hope. The same that Leo Messi claims to have in his first statements after that famous ‘post burofax’ interview in which he assured that he wanted to leave and ranted about the sports project. Now, he claims to be excited about winning everything after leaving that episode behind.
The Argentine is improving, he is seen to be more involved, and if there is no surprise rotation, he will be Barça’s leader in Pucela again.. He will also do so, knowing that a goal will make him surpass the record that Pelé has just equaled for the most goals scored for the same club. Just one goal.
With no apparent news in the culé team, although Miralem Pjanic could enter through Sergio Busquets or Frenkie De Jong like Clément Lenglet, behind, he could relegate Óscar Mingueza despite the good moment of the youth squad, an eleven that is capable of opening holes is expected in the pucelana defense.
Valladolid comes from achieving a great draw at Sánchez Pizjuán (1-1) and their last home game was a key win against Osasuna (3-2). There is a good atmosphere, despite still being in the red zone of the table. Valladolid also needs some points that Barça cannot escape if it does not want to say goodbye to LaLiga except for a miracle.
