Barcelona is reversed by Paris, Flick s radical tactics are backfired

Home dream shattered! Barcelona was reversed by Paris, and Frick's radical tactics were fatal backlash

In the early morning of October 2, the Champions League group stage rekindled, and Barcelona experienced a game from the peak to the trough at the Camp Nou Stadium. Although he scored first with Ferran Torres's 19th minute goal, the team eventually reversed by Paris Saint-Germain 1-2 and suffered a blow.

This defeat was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the newly ignited ambitions of the whole Barcelona team. It was only last weekend that they defeated their rival Real Madrid to top the La Liga standings. The whole city was immersed in the joy of "return of the king". Fans even began to imagine the brilliant prospects of striving for the "double champion" of the league and the Champions League this season. However, facing Paris, which lacks many main attackers, Barcelona has exposed deep problems at home. The

game trend confirms the quiet approaching of the crisis. In the first half of the first half, Barcelona was able to deal with their opponents by relying on their ball control advantage, but as Paris gradually accelerated, the home team quickly fell into a passive position. In the second half, it was completely out of control - Paris scored 15 shots and 7 shots on the right side of the game, while Barcelona, ​​which had the advantage of home, made a lot of effort and failed in the offensive end.

The young genius Yamal was completely locked by Nuno Mendes, and he was unable to perform well in the whole game; although veteran Lewandowski ran hard, he could not hide the reality of slow pace and decline in confrontation. The front line was unable to put pressure on the whole, which doubled the midfield pressure, and when Pedri was in moderation, the team's creativity almost stagnated.

The real fatal thing is that too radical line of defense. In the system of coach Frick, Barcelona's back line frequently faces forward sharply, and even sets offside traps in the midfield area. This style of play may be able to control the rhythm when facing a weak team, but once you encounter a top opponent with sharp counterattacks like Paris, it will become a huge hidden danger. Every time Paris intercepted the ball and counterattacked, it was like a sharp blade penetrated into the heart, and goalkeeper Szczesny fell into a single defense many times. At the end of the game, Frick tried to change the three center backs to strengthen the defense, but it was too late. This adjustment not only failed to stabilize the situation, but instead made the defense even more chaotic. In the end, Gonzalo Ramos scored the final goal in stoppage time, completely defeating the team's morale.

A game that should have consolidated confidence eventually turned into a loss that exposed the problem. Barcelona's seemingly gorgeous pass-by football seems fragile in front of a real strong team. This loss reminds everyone: reaching the top of the standings is just the beginning. If the stubborn disease of defensive imbalance and offense and defense cannot be solved, the dream of winning the championship will eventually be just a castle in the air. For Frick and his team, the real test has just begun.
