It is fine that football is an incomprehensible sport and given absurd discussions that usually end anything. Because Absolute truths cannot be extracted from what is not understood. Nor lies.
I had thrown the Barça 23 times on the door in the first act (40 in total) without any way to pay to Mallorcathat he had barely gone from the center of the field but came to score in 45 – although offside. Although it was to end the halftime and need the Barca only one shot in the first sigh by the long -awaited Dani Olmo to stop time and knock down the opposition of goal Leo Román. This type of episodes define football.
A good handful of years ago Johan Cruyffwho was the smartest of all, released a journalist: “If I wanted you to understand me, I would have explained much better”. And it was so wide.
The trial
The other day, Hansi Flick, who dominates communication, He affected three of his boys – Ansu Fati, Héctor Fort and Ferran Torres – to behave like babysitters With the cameras in front to externalize an anger that he could understand. The first two because nothing had played in the comeback against Celta; The last one, to understand that they had changed it soon. The coach did not punish them. But he invited them to, if they had something to prove, they did it with a ball on their feet and before fans who could also judge them. A maneuver of those 'Cruyffistas' with which Flick showed that, in this, it is better to understand the fair and wait for the result to give the reason to whoever touchs. They all won.
OK. Ansu is far from the competitive finesse that only offers you continuity; Héctor Fort did not advance as much as bucket, but much less disregard; While Ferran Torres, who will have to start in the final of the Cup before the lewandowski lesion – always and when Flick does not decide that Olmo is the liar center striker – despite not scoring, he confused one and a thousand times to the three centrals arranged by Jagoba razate, which which greatly facilitated the game between lines of a Pedri again sublime.
So Flick, despite facing the game with seven changes from the agonizing triumph against CeltaHe showed that his team does not depend so much on the pieces, but on a collective plan in which the pieces fit easily.
Breaks
Resting Koundé, there was nothing more to see How Eric García took the background and searched for auction in his new function as a right -hander. Or how Gavi managed to act as a midfielder before a sponator like Samú Costa. I overturn an attack without raphinha or the aforementioned Lewandowski worked like a clock that Lamine Yamal accelerated when he wanted with the exterior of his left booty. He only twisted the Rocafonda's gesture when he erred a duel to the sun before A Leo Román who piled 12 stops.
Half an hour from the end, Ansu went to the bench. He didn't score, but he smiled. Raphinha was able to stretch his legs for a while; Dani Olmo, return to the interior of that bubble that Barça must take care that it does not break; and Flick, earn respect for a costume that will fight for the league, the cup and the Champions League with the conviction of being Directed by a fair coach and that something knows about the tricks of 'Cruyffismo'.
