Cornellà de LlobregatLuuk de Jong, defenestrated a few months ago, saved a point for Barça in a derby he had lost. Then the hot notes of the match.
More from Ferran. Barça have yet to win three games in a row in the league and have seen that they will have to run for the Champions League 22/23, the key to aspiring to Haaland and good sponsorships. With new signings on the pitch, the sketch that Xavi wants to turn into work has no continuity. In fact, the absence of the most affordable, Alves, was much more noticeable than the presence, for example, of Ferran Torres. The Valencian makes interesting gestures without the ball, but he doesn’t quite contribute when he has it on his feet. 55 million more variables contemplate it. Ves is wrong with the recently resigned Ferran Reverter, who criticized the figure before paying it.
Playing against Gavi is very difficult. Pedri has returned to a great level and this could compromise Gavi’s minutes. But the Sevillian is so good that Xavi can’t give up. That’s why he puts it open on the left side, as in his day Iniesta or Cesc, to win a fourth man in the middle and open up space for Alba’s climbs. Beyond his position and quality, Gavi is a show for how he competes. This gene makes him overtake taller central defenders to finish in the small area, as he showed against Atlético de Madrid, and pulls out his hard-wired side like Aleix Vidal, lit in the derby while a youngster portrayed him without blushing.
Wasted money. Now, for the portrait, what Eric Garcia left for posterity in De Tomás’ goal that went back to Pedri’s morning goal. The Martorell midfielder came in for the injured Araujo and, still out of tune after a five-week absence, did not calculate the marking of the perico ram, which Ter Tergen shot with pleasure. It is understandable why Xavi is asking for short-term switchboards. He sees that the most veteran of them all, Piqué, is the one who best holds the guy on the axis between individual mistakes and physical setbacks. What a shame to have to spend money on paying for Umtiti’s contract while the team bleeds from behind.
Majorcan wisdom. The general public thinks of RDT as the main reference for Espanyol and it makes sense because he is one of the best strikers in the league. But if he scratches a little, it’s not hard to see that Darder is even more important than the Madrid striker. The Artà midfielder is pure light for the parakeet team with the ball at his feet. He distributes judiciously, has a track and a lower train to break lines while driving and when he reaches the area he has a guard, as he showed in the derby. With the physical and personal fullness that the 28-year-old gives him, if Luis Enrique had taken him into account for the absolute, it would not have been surprising.
