Barcelona s difficulty in defending its title soars, 1 Data exposed major flaws, Frick makes controversial remarks

Barcelona achieved an unbeaten record of 2 wins and 1 draw in the first three league games of the new season, and scored 7 points. Although such points look good, they are still a bit inferior to Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, which have won all three games. In fact, these points do not show deeper problems. Barcelona's problems are actually very serious. Poor defense always gives the opponent a very good opportunity.

Barcelona gave its opponent a total of 12 excellent opportunities in these 3 games. This is the worst record in La Liga this season. Such a bad defense will make Barcelona's difficulty in defending the title soar. Obviously, this 1 data exposed Barcelona's major flaw, that is, the excessive defense premise creates a lot of room for the opponent's counterattack. The opponent's targeted deployment made Barcelona's defense very embarrassed. The match between Barcelona and Vallecano is the most representative game.

Barcelona defeated Vallecano three times in a row, but this time they only got a draw, and they got a draw in a very embarrassing way. Barcelona and Vallecano both shot 12 times in this game, but in fact Vallecano has more threatening opportunities. Vallecano had 6 shots on the right side, while Barcelona had only 3 shots on the right side. If Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia hadn't made repeated pounces to resolve danger, Barcelona would have probably not been able to get this one point.

In addition to playing poorly with Vallecano, Barcelona and Levante also played unsatisfactory. Barcelona scored 2 goals in the first half of this game, and then rose up to fight back in the second half to chase three goals in a row to complete the counterattack. For a team of Barcelona's level, it should not be so difficult to play against Vallecano and Levante with a complete lineup. If these problems are not solved, it will be extremely difficult for Barcelona to win the game when they encounter strong opponents next.

At the same time, Barcelona head coach Frick also made controversial remarks. He implies that some players are individualistic and lack collective spirit. His remarks have also aroused the dissatisfaction of many Barcelona players. Pedri said he didn't know who the head coach was referring to. Yamal even said that not winning has nothing to do with individualism. Obviously, Frick needs to solve many problems now, not only to manage the locker room well, but also to make tactical adjustments.
