CRAZY ALL REACTIONS! Nico BOOED - UNSTOPPABLE Yamal goal, Barcelona vs Athletic Club (2-1)

[Applause] is backto back 2-1 victories of Barcelona 100% the opening two games Win of course at M win now at monek where Barcelona with everything that has been going on they've looked good now we had our questions I think rightfully so coming into the season okay that was preseason and let's see what this team is like in La Liga and what they have been is pretty good m not outstanding not excellent but a whole lot better than what they were last season and I think Luise mentioned their word that I think is important under control that you don't feel like this team every time somebody gets out in transition against them that they're going to give an opportunity that indeed when they have possession of the ball and it wasn't quite the case in the first half today but it was certainly in the second half when they have possession there is a purpose with that possession and there is movement away from the ball that makes the next pass very clear that there are options ahead of the players in the Midfield and to the to the point of pedri we talked at halftime if he is alongside Mar Vernal as a double pivot you're losing his presence in the attacking half you're losing his presence in the final third and his ability to run into the box once hansy fake made the decision to say you know what this whole feran Torres kind of Here There and Everywhere position is not quite working out let's put Rafa out into the left out to the left let's put fine Lopez into the Midfield it does give some cover to pedri so that now he can join in the attack it makes him an exponentially better player and it makes Barcelona an exponentially better team so overall positive energy about Barcelona on the field of the field is a completely different story but on the field which we can evaluate and we can sit here and usually criticize Barcelona we can say now they look pretty good most Barcelona fans don't want to see Fon Torres as a starter in hansy Flick's team before the game Barca fans reacted on social media Fon isn't worth starting in such an important game let's prove that Barca can win this game without Nico I don't want to see Torres anywhere near the team that guy is so useless and stupid Rafia should start ahead of Fon I think it's high time Alexia patelis replace Fon Torres on the men's team Torres is the enemy of the team many Barca fans were unhappy to see Fon Torres in the starting lineup against Athletic Club but the Spaniard had a reasonable game Fon completed four out of four dribbles and won five out of five dels in the first half while Robert leowski only managed one shot that hit the crossbar that's why some Barcelona fans are getting tired of Robert leowski in the match against bilau here's what they're saying on X leowski can only control one ball leowski is already a hindrance in this team leowski destroys these Transitions and the Rhythm when he holds the ball too much or tries to be a playmaker I like how Fon is making me swallow my words he he should keep proving me wrong and there's leowski who thinks he's the only one who has to score is passing so difficult for a striker but in the end Robert lowski proved his worth by scoring the winning goal for the blowr Midway through the second half although he needs to be less ambitious there were several moments when he could have opted for a pass or let the ball pass to his colleague lamine who was in a better position to score we want to see what Hans fake is going to do in the next coming months still not all the players inol there are a couple of injuries players are going to leave all some others that h should arrive but still Dano not being registered but today I like what I saw from from Sans F's team I think he's very composed something very important they control the game even in transition defensive transition we saw Barcelona NE never lost with left with two players or three players at the back so the team was going up and down all together something that last year they struggled so much so they give away a lot of of chances today he was that penalty but atletic CL didn't have so many chances clear chances and on the other side in the last year again a lot of composure because we've seen quite a few options of levandowski could have passed that ball could have scored one another one to to the to the post but in the end two goals that I think that they will will deserve I like it very much once again pedri we never we've been waiting for pedri to to perform well to to give H something extra to the Barcelona into the middle of the park and today he shows how different this Barcelona looks when he into the into the field and when the ball is on his feet so pretty good result for Barcelona in this second game of of La Liga and I think they will some Barcelona fans booed niik Williams during the game this came after Williams reportedly rejected offers from barca to stay at Athletic Club and wear the number 10 shirt the match commentator for La Liga TV criticized the Barca fans for doing this saying it's not Williams's fault even if he wanted to join Barca Barca don't have the money to sign him Williams has been playing brilliantly with some dangerous crosses and dribbles down the Left Flank meanwhile Williams Jr was seen joking and laughing with the Barcelona players before kickoff Nico Williams and lein yo continue their Euro 2024 Bromance but it was leine who stole the show by scoring an incredible goal with a powerful 30-yard shot and was named man of the match by La Liga but hansy Flick's unsung hero was Rafia Rafia can play in any position in attack it's incredible for us to have a player like that said flick for us rafino always starts the pressure the Dy ISM he brings to the rest of the players is invaluable I didn't expect to see him press so much he covers the whole pitch for 90 minutes he's in great shape added flick Rafia didn't score or assist any of barca's goals against bil B but his overall performance was enjoyable to watch the Brazilian Striker started as a no1 against bil BAU and was brilliant in the tackle recording three tackles and two interceptions in addition Rafia created three great chances and made three decisive passes it's important to say that rafino was one of the best players last season I believe flick won't let him leave despite being linked with exit rumors with this win hansy flick helped Barca break the spell of not winning their first two League games since the 2020 21 season shavei started the season coaching Barca on two occasions in the 2022 23 season and the 2023 24 season but failed to lead the team to consecutive wins at the start of the season that's not to say that shavei isn't a good coach but that flick has made the best possible start to his Barca career there's still a long way to go with Barca competing for four trophies this term I hope flick and his charges don't end up trophyless like Barca did last season hansy flick was seen joking and chatting with niik Williams after the game against Athletic Club when asked what he was saying to Nico flick replied nothing I just congratulated him on winning the European championship in today's coverage there was a stat towards the end of the game that said over Lewandowski ran 10 kilm and I'm looking at that I said well that in itself not that I want Robert lewandoski running everywhere but that in itself tells you that he's been active that he's been more active than what we saw last season and if he's willing to be that or showcase that level of activity is because he's feeling good and when you're scoring goals as a striker and Lord knows that I know this well because let me just tell you I struggle to score goals but when you're scoring you feel like you can get on the end of everything that you can make those runs that you can get to the far post that you can do the sliding attempt sort of finish that Padilla comes up with a big save that's because there's a level of confidence that now allows you to trust your body allows you to get to a point to where you feel like compe like physically you can compete and it takes then your natural talent to the level that you would imagine leandi can get to so in that sense it's not a surprise that he's scoring goals if he's fit if he's physically ready and seemingly he certainly was asked about the difference between hansy flick and shavei you can tell that flick wants to play behind the slot permanently it's all details said valver in the end barca's style is always noticeable but you can see important differences between the coaches today you could see that flick was practically playing with two Strikers and Rafia as a midfielder it's not that flick surprised me no it was practically the same system they played against Valencia the only change was pedri for cassado added Valverde
