Valverde thinks that Barcelona is still lacking consistency

By db-admin

DBasia.news –  Ernesto Valverde’s foster children often get lost at unexpected times by many people. Although they still controlled the top of Group F in the Champions League without defeat, Valverde considered Barcelona to remain less consistent so far.

The latest, Barca lost to Levante in LaLiga. In just seven minutes, a 1-0 lead turned to 1-3. This, according to Valverde, must be considered by the players. Compete in the Champions League, minimize the chance of compulsory error.

However, for this match, Lionel Messi et al have good capital. The latest Champions League match against Slavia Prague ends in a 2-1 victory. That’s the kind of thing Valverde hopes for from his foster children.

“Hopefully we can repeat what we did in Prague in the first round. They are still a team to watch out for. Their physical endurance is a mainstay to trouble us,” Valverde said at a pre-match press conference, quoted from the official UEFA website.

“Our away record is indeed not very good actually. We got back up with three wins but lost again against Levante. I hope they can again achieve consistent results like before yesterday’s defeat,” he continued.

Barcelona’s position in the Champions League is not yet safe. If you want to secure a place in the last 16, there must be at least two matches they won. That still must compete for head to head and goal difference if there are the same points.
