DBasia.news – Defending champion LaLiga, FC Barcelona started the 2019-20 season poorly. Several negative notes came about them.
Barcelona has played five LaLiga matches. As a result, Ernesto Valverde’s men collected two wins, one draw, and two defeats. Meanwhile, for matters of goals, Barcelona scored 12 goals and conceded nine goals.
The result was certainly difficult to accept by most Barcelona supporters. Understandably, at the beginning of this season, Barca had promised to embrace the Champions League title and defend the LaLiga title.
Several reasons began to be considered as a cause. First is Ernesto Valverde’s tactics that are not working properly. Also, the absence of Lionel Messi is an obstacle.
Marca reported this is the worst appearance of Barcelona since the 1994-1995 season. Inevitably, the alarm signal has sounded
Last season, Barcelona collected 13 points in the first five LaLiga matches. In addition, Barca only conceded five goals. Meanwhile, now Barcelona has only won seven points.
Furthermore, Marca explained, in the last 10 seasons Barcelona has never conceded up to nine goals in the first five matches. Moreover, some of these goals were born in home games.
Not only the backline, but Barcelona also faces a problem with scoring goals. Of the 12 goals created, 10 of which occurred in home games. That means, Barca’s attackers have problems when appearing in front of opposing supporters.
For example, when facing Granada on Sunday (9/22), Barcelona only fired one shot on target. In fact, Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Luis Suarez, and Ansu Fati also appeared.
Now, Ernesto Valverde needs to unravel the tangled yarn in Barcelona. If not, he will be on the brink of dismissal.
