Flick completed redemption with Araujo, and the front three destroyed Barcelona s offensive fluidity

Although they reached a dead end, Barcelona still defeated Girona and won precious 3 points. No matter how many problems were exposed in this game, Flick was confused at one point and even bet on Fermin to shoot wildly (when the opponent is not completely retreating, repeated long-range shots are not reasonable. Instead, Girona simply tightened the fence and turned into a broken iron barrel for Barcelona).

However, after the opponent's real iron bucket, replacing Araujo as the forward was probably Flick's final self-salvation. He also got the result he wanted, and this may be the best result.

Barcelona's problem in the first half is that the central defender combination is too weak. According to statistics, the visiting team Girona's expected goals in the first half reached 1.46, which is almost three times that of Barcelona (Barcelona's expected goals is 0.52).

In the one-on-one attack caused by Pedri's mistake, Garcia could have filled the position head-on, but as a result, he moved too slowly. In the end, he probably wanted to cause offside before making a single-action attack (the opponent didn't even cross the center line, and the central defender still wanted to wait and let the opponent fall into the trap instead of getting stuck immediately). The central defender basically has no head-on defense, which is definitely not possible, so it is easy to appear single-handedly.

Coupled with the fact that Kongde was in such poor condition that basically anyone could beat Kongde, the defense in the first half felt a bit riddled with holes. When playing against Real Madrid, the central defenders should really try Araujo and Christensen. Don't be too superstitious about the ball. The last word is to first maintain a positive position.

It is still right to use Casado as the starter in this game. He brings good energy and accuracy. La Masia still needs to be used more, especially after the national team game, especially when facing the rotation of weak teams.

In fact, the offensive end of the first half could have been better. Yamal was still too eager to express himself. He dribbled the ball a little too much, and passing the ball to the back was a bit formulaic. Yamal still needs to add more cross passes. He cut in several times and then passed crosses, which was more threatening than playing from behind. After all, without Raphinha, Rashford would not be able to understand many things.

Flick's style of play is destined to require players to have a certain amount of faith in him, and he requires a lot of running on both the defensive and offensive ends. Therefore, Barcelona must defend La Liga this season and be able to face dialogue and suppress Real Madrid, otherwise it will have a huge impact on Flick's team.

After the German team was unexpectedly eliminated from the World Cup, he became disillusioned and could no longer carry out his duties. Barcelona did not give Flick enough support in the summer window. He needs new people to strengthen his running. Rashford has personal abilities, but he is not the one to execute the running.

This is particularly obvious when it comes to Yamal. Rafinha is Yamal’s natural choice. If Lewandowski is present, it will be helpful for Yamal to assist when he comes on the field. However, if neither of them is available, Yamal’s passing threat will be greatly reduced.

A Rashford may destroy many off-the-ball movements and chemical reactions on the offensive end, allowing Fermin to shoot wildly, and then the integrity will really be lost. Both Fermin and Rashford are eye-catching, but overall they just drift with the crowd.

Fortunately, Araujo was redeemed. These 3 points are worth a thousand dollars. Before playing Real Madrid, it is important for Barcelona to once again inject faith in Flick. I don’t know if Raphinha can come back, or if Ferran Torres can come back (he should be able to come back). Barcelona’s frontcourt must return to Flick’s fluid system and can no longer allow random shots.
