BarcelonaBarça’s vital victory in the Champions League, the first away from the Camp Nou this season. A 0-1 against Dinamo that puts Barça in a position to depend on themselves to continue in the top competition. Then the hot notes of the match.
With the soul. “They were alpha priorities.” More sincere could not be German when asked about the negotiations to renew Ansu Fati and Pedri. With the canary injured, the Spanish-Guinean is left to remember that Barça, contrary to what one might think, does have footballers top, listed and able to decide in box or belt scenarios like the one drawn in Kiev. Ansu arrived at the key appointment touched, but it left from the beginning, it did not avoid responsibilities and on it it marked a crucial goal, with a closing of pure goleador. He engulfed her with his soul, like Iniesta at Stamford Bridge.
Decisive, finally. In Kiev, Barça combined moments of good football with moments of subversion, of defensive exposure as a result of a very cultivated separation between lines during the Koeman era. When Dinamo was most threatened, the figure of Ter Stegen emerged, according to critics Ter Statue. The context of precariousness is also sprinkling the German goalkeeper, who is accused of not intervening as much as he used to do in previous years. The party in Ukraine, however, contradicts the maxim. So much so that it can be said that Ter Stegen saved Barça’s vital victory with up to three stops of merit. He’s top too, even if we forget.
He is interested in recovering Lenglet. Piqué’s discharge and discharge in extremis of Araujo they took the French power station to the eleven against the Dynamo. He started this season as a fourth center, but the demands of the script are making him appear especially in the Champions League. And, truth be told, it would be interesting not to put it in the same bag as the barren Umtiti. Lenglet is a usable footballer, healthy, quite young (26 years old), professional and discreet. With Xavi, who highly values the start from behind, he could have more prominence. And if not, the Premier League lacks central defenders like him. Now, for buyers to sting, ostracism is not good.
One extreme is non-negotiable. With Kun Agüero away from the pitch for at least three months, it has become clear that Barça will try to hire a striker in the winter market. The profile is not specified, but it would be necessary for the sports management to opt for one end. Only Dembélé, who is not physically reliable and has not yet renewed, responds right now to the need to open the field not only with the sides. Xavi will want a wider team than long and will inherit a leftover squad of players with a tendency to go to the center: Memphis, Ansu, Coutinho, Braithwaite, De Jong …
