To a small surprise, Getafe beat Barcelona in Saturday night’s match of the sixth day of the Spanish Soccer Championship.
Ronald Koeman had a hard time on the field; Getafe is the most successful representative of football, increasingly common in La Liga and nothing spectacular. José Bordalas’s tactic, based on many fouls and little ball possession, led the team to the eighth final of the Europa League last season.
The perception of the capitalists did not change in the new season either, and this time Barcelona’s task became more difficult. The Catalans prepare for the BL match against Ferencváros on Tuesday at Neto – Sergi Roberto, Piqué, Lenglet, Sergino Dest – Busquets, Frenkie De Jong – Pedri, Griezmann, Dembelé – Messi stood out with eleven. Through Dest and Pedri, Koeman also voted for the confidence of two players under the age of 20, in addition to Dembelé, who had been struggling with an injury for a long time.
The Dutch specialist will have to vary his team and always rest on another player, since after the BL game against Fradi, Real Madrid will be received in the league on Saturday and will visit the home of Juventus on October 28.
Given all this, the Messiahs had to face the almost brutal game of Getafe. Argentina’s own Ballon d’Or had unpleasant moments at the forefront when Nyom elbowed him in the face at the end of a slalom. The visitors kept up the pressure to tie the game when, after 20 minutes, Messi crossed the center and found himself alone with the goalkeeper.
In the second half, what happened to the local team continued on the field. Koeman wanted to change the slow and cumbersome offensive game of Barça during the last half hour by placing Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho. However, when Messi’s quartet, Griezmann, Fati, Coutinho, who performed very well in the first two rounds, got together, they were already at a disadvantage.
In the 56th minute, Getafe went ahead, after a penalty by Frenkie De Jong for Jaime Mata. The home team, which has doubled so much, has shown what could work for Fradi this Tuesday to keep his match against the Catalans closed. Closed and concentrated defense and breaking the game with small fouls.
In the 67th minute, Nyom elbowed Fatit inside the penalty area, the referee did not award a penalty. Barça again took the lead, with 78% -22% in possession. With that, they did not go anywhere, and even Cucurella could have secured the luck of the three points for Getafe ten minutes before the end, Neto knew how to defend his shot.
In the 83rd minute, Neto saved the Catalans again when he bravely hit the crossbar on Cucho’s zigzag. Koeman sent three more offensive footballers to his field, in addition to Braithwaite, two more young men, Riqui Puig and Trincao, had a chance, to no avail.
The six-minute overtime was also not long enough for Barça to draw, so after Real Madrid, another star team in La Liga was also beaten on Saturday. For Ronald Koeman, this could be a warning sign for the extremely busy period ahead, which will continue on Tuesday at 9pm, against Ferencváros, behind closed doors at the Camp Nou.
