After watching Barcelona breaking Yamal s dependence, I realized that team football is more important than personal heroism.

After the international match day, Barcelona used a refreshing 6-0 game to sweep away the haze of the previous draw with Vallecano. This big victory not only regained confidence in the team, but also injected a shot of a heart-warming agent into the upcoming Champions League fierce battle.

This victory is not just the simplest score. Next, we will review this game and interpret the five key points of Barcelona's transformation and great victory.

Iron and Steel Line

This is Barcelona's second clean sheet this season. After this game, Barcelona conceded 3 goals in 4 games, becoming the second best team in La Liga defense, second only to Real Madrid. Goalkeeper Juan Garcia did nothing all night, and his opponent's only shot was unthreatening. The central defender partner of Kubasi and Eric Garcia performed steadily, and Conde also returned to his best form. This steel line allows the team to invest in the offense without any worries.

The whole people are soldiers

Flick once again proved his philosophy of employing people "not looking at identity, only looking at performance". With the three absolute main players, Barde, De Jong and Yamal, their replacements, Hrad Martin, Casado and Bardegi, all completed the task brilliantly. Frick even boldly used Lamacia youth training young players, giving Jofrey Tolentz and others playing time. This atmosphere of the whole nation being the best and everyone competing for the first place is exactly what Barcelona needs the most.

Control the midfield

Under Pedri's outstanding dispatch, Barcelona regained the rhythm of the game. In the whole game, Barcelona's possession rate was as high as 72%, completing 615 passes. Mark Cassado's performance in the midfield is also remarkable. When Barcelona can control the midfield, they can play the most pleasing football. The pass data of this game is the second best performance so far this season.

Say goodbye to Yamal's dependence

The previous embarrassing data was: Barcelona never won the goal in the La Liga match where Yamal was absent due to injury. His absence was once considered the end of the team. But this 6-0 game completely broke the so-called Yamal dependence. The whole team used a collective victory to prove that even if the No. 10 ace is missing, they are still a team with strong combat effectiveness. This is crucial to the team's psychological construction.

The firepower was fully opened

24 shots, 10 shots, and 6 goals were scored. Barcelona's attack line was completely activated in this game. What’s even more rare is that Fermin, Rafinia and Lewandowski scored twice at the same time. The last time this happened in Barcelona, ​​it can be traced back to more than 8 years ago (in 2017, Messi, Andre Gomez, Paco Alcassel). This fully shows that Barcelona's goals now no longer rely on a super scorer, but are showing a gratifying situation of multiple blooms.
