Barcelona was beaten by Sevilla, not only because of Yamal丨Reporter s observation

The 8th round of La Liga was unpopular in the early morning of October 5. Barcelona, ​​the leader at the end of the last round, was beaten by the "Europa League King" Sevilla 1-4 away. Barcelona was defeated by Paris Saint-Germain 1-2 in the last game in the Champions League, and its unbeaten golden body in the official match this season was broken. In this game, Barcelona was disgraced to break his unbeaten golden body in La Liga this season. After this round of La Liga, Real Madrid returned to the top of La Liga with 21 points, while Barcelona fell to second with 19 points.

Sevilla players celebrated the goal

Barcelona performed seriously in the first half, and if Sevilla seized the opportunity better, he could lead 4-0. The actual situation is that Barcelona fell behind 0-2 in the first half, and the midfielder Pedri criticized the team's performance after the game: "We did not do well in the first half, both offense and defense. After the international match day, we must make corrections to win again."

Barcelona's current lineup is seriously inconsistent, with two offensive engines Yamal and Rafinia absent due to injuries. They ranked second and fifth in the Golden Ball Awards this year. Without Yamal and Rafinia, Barcelona's ability to organize offense is indeed greatly reduced.

Barcelona has been struggling with a fiscal crisis in recent years. In order to register new players such as Rashford, the La Liga giants reluctantly let go of the main central defender Inigo Martinez this summer to free up salary space. Last season, Barcelona's central defender "old and young" Inigo Martinez and Ku and Brazil cooperated tacitly. This season, KuBazi's central defender partner was replaced by Araujo. Although the latter has excellent physical fitness, he has never been able to integrate into coach Flick's tactical system. Barcelona's first goal conceded in this game was Araujo's foul in the penalty area, and Barcelona's former player Sanchez took the penalty kick and broke the old main goal. At the beginning of the second half, Frick replaced Araujo, who was in a sluggish state.

Players on both sides fought in the game

Last season, Frick directed Barcelona to play an enviable youth storm and won the La Liga championship. However, Frick's style of play consumes a lot of money on the team. Barcelona's injury situation this season is relatively serious and is suspected of being overdrawn last season. In the last Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona's midfielder Pedri also showed signs of fatigue.

Midfielder De Jong said after the game: "I think part of the loss is the accumulation of fatigue, which is the current situation of the team. We played 7 games in 21 days." Frick lost three goals for the first time since coaching Barcelona, ​​but he did not admit the team's structural crisis: "Loss has nothing to do with the team's system, and this is not our most painful defeat. I think our most painful defeat was the loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals last season."

In the intensive schedule, many giant teams have experienced problems recently. Liverpool suffered three consecutive losses, and Real Madrid once lost 2-5 to Atletico Madrid, plus Barcelona lost three goals in this game. It is worth mentioning that two Argentine midfielder internationals, Simeone and Almeida formed a classic iron waist combination in Serie A champion Lazio that year. Now they beat La Liga two Liga champion Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively as coach of Atletico Madrid and Sevilla.
