I still remember that at the press conference when Messi left the team, De Jong looked at Laporta resentfully. He should know best that without Messi's Barcelona, the road will become more and more difficult in the future.
With two wins and one tie in the league, they haven't encountered any difficulties yet, but the face of Bayern is clear. Without Messi and Suarez, Barcelona may be more like a whole, or it can be said to be a collective failure. This is not just talking. Just look at the match between Barcelona and Bayern. Barcelona has one less possibility and three more problems.
Less chance of scoring
Last season, Messi was still the La Liga shooter and the Barcelona team's top shooter. Barcelona, with Messi, can always give people a kind of shock, but because of Suarez’s departure, Messi can only fight alone. There are more and more vigorous volleys outside the penalty area. Many fans have actually understood that Messi has lost. A teammate who believes enough.
However, this season, Messi also left Barcelona. In the absence of Messi and Suarez, Barcelona has one less possibility, which is to score goals. When the Bayern team attacked and the defense line resisted this offensive, the forward line should use offense to relieve the pressure on the defense line. Otherwise, Bayern’s wave after wave of offense would make the defense line tired, and eventually Resulting in losing the ball. Without Messi Suarez, Barcelona's offense is horrible. Even 0 shots on target.
Defensive
The slogan to dismiss Koeman appeared at the Nou Camp. Many fans couldn't help but have some questions. Who will be useful for this Barcelona? Who can turn the tide, not at all, as the former six-time winner and five-time winner, the fans and Barcelona should face their own problems squarely. In this game, it can be seen that Barcelona lost the beautiful pass and control football and became the defensive side at home.
There is no way, in the face of Bayern's super attack, Barcelona can only use defensive counterattack to get the opportunity to attack, but what Barcelona did not expect is that the counterattack opportunities in front of them can only be wasted time and time again. As the defensive side, maybe Barcelona can't defend at all, maybe they haven't made such mental preparations yet.
Running distance
As a defensive side, Koeman has a 352 formation, Pique, Araujo, Garcia, including Alba and Roberto. It can be said that Koeman has sent all the best defenders in the formation. However, The result is 0-3. It's no wonder that, as the defensive side, the running distance is 15 kilometers shorter than the other side.
I still remember the "walking" between Messi and Suarez at the time, which was criticized by the fans. At least Messi and Suarez could become the Terminator. Now that "more like a group" Barcelona, Messi Suarez has left, and Barcelona's walk is still exist. Running less than 15 kilometers is just a problem, and behind the problem is the wrong performance of Barcelona's entire system.
0 shot on target
Maybe many fans are disgusted with Laporta because of Messi's departure, but they like this Barcelona in their hearts, otherwise it would be impossible to follow them for so many years. However, one feeling for the fans is that they are deceiving themselves. It is believed that Messi's departure can become a whole like other teams.
However, the result is that Barcelona without Messi and Suarez is really miserable. Because they are the core of this team's offense and dominate the core of the team's game, Messi may dominate a team, but Laporta believes that Messi is the cancer of the team.
Throughout the game, Barcelona shot 0.
cab pointed out that even if they get a chance, the team will not be able to find a breakthrough to make an effective threat, because what they lack is a player who can break through, in other words, Messi.
