Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona Watchalong | La Liga 2024

go live hey guys welcome back to the koola podcast welcome back to another watch long Raj vajo versus Barcelona Barcelona's third official game under hanzi fck we're playing against Raj vajo a team that we haven't uh beaten away from home in the last three years let's see if Barcelona can break that streak and we can go N9 for nine at the start of La Liga but guys this is Barcelona's lineup for tonight's match you have tan and goal J Martin replacing Alejandra Bal anzi flick opting to arrest uh the Spanish player and in that Center back partnership due to all the injuries that we have we obviously have Nigo Martinez and Bal and Jules kund as the right back in the Midfield bedri and maral starting yet again that partnership and up top the same basically it's the same lineup that we had against a clubbe yeron Torres rafina the Min and leowski interesting to see that fernes is given another start uh but guys match is about to start right nows be exting changes R let's go boys back five that played in that nil nil draw against atfe but Cameo is in E palaz on his back and unai Lopez and Alvaro Garcia also play from the start and again just one change for Barcelona and it comes left back we hearden here pregame talking about having to protect Alex spal just a little bit after his injuries last year he played the first two games gered Martin will play from the start there tonight otherwise unchanged for Barcelona team that won their home opener against Bill b and away we go can Barcelona find a way to Victory here for the first time since 2019 three consecutive trips here nice good pass ah trying to make that run they only got that onew a very late own goal by floran the Rano French Central Defender it's going to be you know very interesting to see how J Martin does because J Martin he has been favored by hanzi flick in that left back position Alex vaj not been really given that much Faith going to be heading off to loan to Celtic so it's going to be interesting to see if J Martin can uh perform in this game M know couple in the middle of your career and it's not a suburb of Madrid is it it's it's very much a part of the city yeah it's a bur you know and it's and it's it's the the real working class bur Madrid and they they take that uh that Iden very serious it's a reason wow look at that pressure from uho foul okay neighborhood they complete Underdog all against us type attitude and and the team tries to really reflect that of the neighborhood yeah one of 21 districts in the city of Madrid very much uh kind of a working class gritty neighborhood in the southeast of the city dare I say it the M wall of of Madrid the mil wall of Madrid what first of the ball for Mark Andre Okay yeah unable to keep a clean sheet for Tran bars at the startel oh what's up oh yeah let me uh let me fix this right now there you go both times it's been Robert leandi to the that that way you know at what point the game is at yo what's up 24K good to see you again bro what's up Mustafa you know I'm in Miami yo Mustafa you're in Miami bro contact me and then uh we'll meet up bro just moved good stuff man the ri defense the problem is if if you're if you're slow to react if you're if you're first touch isn't what it needs to be R love to get their outside backs into that attack help support Qui def all right see a closing on on uh 1.2k yes yes 24K Channel making progress Buck the cross Buck the cross nice baral L minum out trying to help could they clear that to started to come there we go it was to where was the call but an opportunity thereo to pounce B should pass that ball a little bit sooner all right there N I think L yal is offside yeah he's outside what's up Thomas I repeat myself hatrick for Torres fingers crossed man let's hope I mean Fon starting for a third consecutive game that's telling man that's telling just need to get the school sorted out last year biology probably be live free in yeah definitely Mustafa we'll go there's actually a good couple pitches out here so um we'll go and we'll play sometime have you seen a difference Cas I it's only two games there's been a lot of talk about how different will Barcelona be under hands he C perhaps a little more aggressiveness a little more dynamism and I think I think maybe a little bit more direct as well and I think that's where leandi is benefited because the crosses are coming in not the best cross from the right side I mean Roger V they're starting off strong guys they're putting much little under pressure in these opening uh couple minutes yeah so it is it's a case where Barcelona will be finding the opportunity to get the ball in the Box a little bit quicker where maybe at times Javi was criticized for overp passing without really being direct enough in the final third all right throw in weather is crazy I do not miss the UK it's it's hot it's hot it's humid some people like that if you like to be outside you like to go to the beach and everything perfect spot for a vacation in that Lots ofc here in this part of Madrid why wouldn't there be case at the arrival of the 33y old colan need to get his James Rodriguez in the stand for forano Jes Rodriguez joining the Raj that's interesting Deco LA and boan Gage oh no it's not you know when vikas is is is well received by both Atletico M Madrid fans and Real Madrid fans so being an ex Real Madrid player it's not like you're coming into Vias and you're upsetting any group of supporters one way or the other a p it's dnam by the home team here' attack on both flanks and there far Ford on the left is rewarded with this corner now ah papach just beats K on Pace right there defensive work right thereus Rodriguez abil so important in this Stadium because it's so small you're winning free kicks you're you're winning fouls and you're winning corners and having that delivery was so important in my time in R don't con don't conce don't nicely worked from the corner follow up shot oh my gosh E's left completely referee unmarked right there the follow produced The Shot onal R already managed one more than they did in 90 minutes on Saturday nah that's not a foul that's not a foul that was really well just hit that near PO space flicking it onto the penalty spot linum M does just enough to hold off e palaz no no no that's noten to thep of but strike in the end a comfort not penalty whatsoever yeah it was Alvaro Garcia wasn't it at least gave turen something to think about all right I think on that replay clearly had the position didn't he pal on nice Bern oh my gosh both pedri and uh Bernal beating right there e almost turns into an effective behind the stri V with a with a strong Start Boys wasn't enough doesn't quite catch this ball the way he would like but if he hit it maybe a little bit worse it would have fallen right into the path of a teammate but then in saying thatz uh would have preferred Victor who they have they've had they had a strong start produc an upet on opening day going up I actually would would have agreed you know you have F Victor in that number 10 Rafa out wide and it Contin to trend for them Casey they tend to be really good starters it's a third year in a row where Rya Viano haven't lost in their opening two games last year they won them both Jing back at MD opport and we ConEd bro lope oh my God Manan beat near post yet again value for their lead they've dominated the early 10 minutes and unai Lopez has it with the open my goodness ra rajel Take the Lead Moreno and what bro look at unai Lopez man have you have to win the fight and if you start losing every 5050 ball no K keeps him on side a little here and see he he did [Applause] that dude T you're so useless man they're winning oh my gosh and again it's a it's a great overlap defus does an excellent job of of putting a cross in a dangerous area my is that's the thing like he can just beat anything to come up with a save in near post fabulous finish from unai Lopez kept it low to Casey could he have done a little better that he could have I don't think he he necessarily should have but yo what's up yo who is this club that say but I don't blame him it's it's it's low it's hard it's from you know the shots from L hard no that's just excuses one he knows he can make one know he can make but that's a routine save Rai Lopez goal number n of his oh Barcelona they um career former athletic Bill bman ohin ah almost a response from L yal First Look he had inside the penalty area bars are you behind open I think enough to SL AC and come what's up NJ yo we need nice ton or someone ah man see but that's what I'm talking about tan just beats so easily BK came out you know seasons ago before he retired and he says yo every single time they take a shot on us it becomes a goal and I wonder why H now kubas has looked Mighty impressive pass from CER back but again given up too easily just got home and person needs help oh man Danny cardinas is the man in goal must have been expecting a busy night and could well still have one and who replaced the goalkeeper from Macedonia who's headed off to Valencia dimitrii backing up mades Philly at the moment a man okay well let's see how Barcelona bounce back this is going to be very um very telling of their character under hzi flick oh good pass to P oh posession for Barcelona full stretch there from the goal scorer to deny the rafin latching onai Lopez HRI looking for the delicate delivery and what a delivery it was Rafia couldn't quite on the is that foul it's only the 12th minute of course it will bounce back I mean who knows who knows potentially um you can have rajo maintain this league through throughout the game get to see it's not that's not a penalty see anything there and I don't think V will either you never know though V will surprise you every once in a while but I think for the most part they get it right Barcelona benefitting from a penalty on opening day against Valencia was hotly contested shall we say by the home team hansy flick two wins attitud so far so good a 59y old German ah foul fromal okay in these opening 15 minutes Raj almost exactly four years ago to the day that Hy flick inflicted one of Barcelona's worst ever defeats on them he was St the boss at Bayern Munich 82 in that Champions League game dude it's unbelievable guys look at this every single time T taking it be as near post it's like a joke it's actually a joke this is supposed to be one of the best Keepers in the world and he gets beat by Z near post my gosh Robert leandi a big part of the buying team that did of course after to a great start if I'm hzi flick I'm saying get me a new goalkeeper man 85 goals in 73 games on the flick including three already this season yeah it's not a bad of a turn yeah I think anytime you're in that positive more goals than matches uh that's a yeah you're uh watching K while playing FC mobile is the best feeling and yeah he's supposed to be the best keeper ever and that's crazy that's unbelievably poor from tan man that's unbelievably poor that Barcelona had played it was it wasn't necessarily about a central striking figure and and and also it was also the time at Barcelona where they were just significantly dominant so was there a lack of communication between Kun and the other center backs and also I think each year that he's gotten a year older it's it's it makes it that much more difficult you know times undefeated and it just it doesn't wait for anybody and so even even the the likes of the mess's and the Ronaldo and Robert leandi during that delay we got to look at by the goal again from Lopez and Serio cameo played a role in it perhaps harshly blocking at least toer who didn't seem to get a clear CER on it to the very last moment they got his fingertips on it couldn't keep it out all right throw in for rajo bcha going to be taking it the early stages of the home opener for Raya vak with illustrious opponents they scored I was just telling you how their home opener went last year we remember in case we called that game where Ry of lost 70 at home to Atletico it was just one of those complete outliers that was after winning their first two games of the Season as well but again into their third game of the season in good shape and it's what's crazy is that there's people actually defending tan for this that's crazy 1th no one else beneath them that didn't go down yeah in the last couple Seasons when they've been in a kind of a comfortable mid-table position flirting with actually if if if runs had continued and form it contined that possibly in Europe but uh yeah it's tough with the smaller Squad sizes we all see it every year and I think that was the expectation with Jona sooner than it did and they even were still able to stay in Champions leag squ is is how difficult it is for smaller teams with smaller Squad sizes to be able to all right sustain that type of form to Second needs encouragement n t second doesn't need encouragement you know at at this highest level I'm sorry you're professional man you shouldn't need to be babied you know especially at Barcelona and not your shoulder come April May you have to be very happy now Jules kundai with a shot not lie though the commentators are just vibing they are I mean they're just uh they're just chilling right here honestly broid out wide and thens Toes quick shot doesn't get the best connection on it for his clearance but in the end it goes wide out for a Barcelona corner and this is uh three games in a row in which Barcelona they aren't able to keep a clean sheet rowski awaiting the servicea play short instead couple of falling dominoes inside the penalty area everyone back on their feet the cross eventually arrives oh enigo makes good that was a good cross from Le good contact from enigo just H straight at the goalkeeper yeah after a lot of different movement a lot of different runs kund feeling that maybe he was hooked a little bit they El to eventually get the cross in Falls to Martinez it's it's a decent shot but nice interception feel that Barcelona just starting toh get into a little bit or the first signs of a Groove at least a little more possession uh Matt is 32 yet he plays like an academy player level he that's offensive I feel like this year transfer window is about fixing another areas while the big signing PR even small VI pitch you can't press for 90 minutes so they pick and choose those moments to I agree but also you know I'm also upset that M went to Liverpool when you only cost 35 imagine we spent that money for example on a on on upgrade in that keeper position uncomfort but then again tan doesn't want to leave comfortable wages once again that's off intelligent play playing it on and EC palazon was intended target yeah there is our captain that's that's crazy let me see something guys developed that little bit slower and you palazon had made the run and then realized he knew he offside position and was never going to get there anyway as it comfortably back into the hands of if you're just joining us no Danny Almo in the starting lineup tonight for Barcelona is available though having finally been registered he's going to be on the bench come off the bench this was the previous buildup took an age for the cross to arrive when it did it was a decent one again lots of battling going on and and there's back to that point about if you're coming Russ is the most positive Club you're uh just Vibes I guess eventually Martinez did well enough to get the strike on target but straight Barcelona by the way for those of you keeping keeping C at home have not won three games to open a La Liga season since the Ernesto Valverde here in the 2018 2019 season which is also the last time they won here wow that's so long ago man I'm not sure what the ri fans on that far side are complaining about that was about three yard offside yeah yeah outside by a mile man no matter what e Pal's on he's trying to describe nice good pass from po p I love it when people are are stretching about Barca yo just chill man ain't healthy I'm on Lon U Mar City I'm good no Str at all Champions League quarterfinal see the the problem is that people are so emotionally invested in in their team and I complet ni look at that oh almost managed it in tight quarters why why do you Sky it I'm not going trophy that see I mean I get that you know but I I can't like support multiple teams it's I'm Barcelona like you know thick and thin gu they understand the small confines and they play towards it and and then if teams don't adapt quick enough and realize that either the shot has to come quicker the PA has to come quicker and and they don't and they don't recognize that soon enough and then the frustration builds in in me neither I've been trying to get past it all my life of the opponent I mean at the end of the day guys it's just a sport you know Valen of course we want our team to you know to play better at 2019 but at the end of the day it's just a sport it's just putting the ball into the back of the netn leowski hasn't had too much in the way of evolving so far Robert lowki has been uh pretty pretty isolated I would say so far not um not having that much uh impact in the game nicely done foraging work from Alvaro Garcia standing toward was Mark Bernell back come the home team though the frutos on the ground Martinez away from danger for now Tores tling away to get possession back but it doesn't last for long they have a hand L has coughed it up [Applause] a of it my God and see that in those type of moments RAF you see that Bozo Jee right there makes a good run tries to be his man takes to one too many touches loses the ball Barca is my team for sure since I transition being a football fan life is easy rather than uh a club fan all right true TR I suffer harder with E I got Mari City Jersey mariso Jersey AC Milan Jersey ax Etc again with some Promise by un Lopez the goaler he sett for the corner and it happens all the time I mean that is the more you watch R when R are playing at their best it's about winning possession in Midfield it's about combining overlapping runs and in in making your opponent face their own goal then winning set pieces and being as as as dominant on set pieces as as any team in in La Liga will be in capitalizing off of circumstances like this yeah and to alli's point from pregame how about adding Rodriguez to this mix halazon is a pretty good deliverer himself but man Rodriguez World C Class operator when it comes TOS he's sitting in the stands here tonight watching his new club for the first time Kun with the throw in Robert lowski poor touch loses the ball all right anys they are in a battle here tonight when is it not the case at Vias rarely you mentioned the the match last year uh yeah I mean those are those are outliers I mean normally like you said teams here it's going to be a tough a tough match from start to finish yeah yeah R just so comfortable at home make it so difficult for so many teams again they're on the prow and tan has to act quickly as P Espino left a foot in and T oh T and pcha right there I like now Adrien that it's that it's uh that it's like a surprise when a player leaves a foot in you know I mean back in the day that would have been just two feet right in my chest and the uh and the referee would have said well he's got the right to go for the ball and yeah it was a little naughty there was no question that I I mean he lost control of the ball right there that Asino at that stage needed to Le the foot in but you know but that's what it's like you come toas wow and that's what the fans expect like you said V Ro has the same value as and that's what team should expect when they come here to play that it's it's not going to be comfortable day off the restart I'm surprised that Maro isn't starting as well I I thought he'd be given the start interesting to see if operating a little further forward tonight than he has in the first couplea beat his man beat one beat twoing a couple of CH see where's the help right there yeah I'll be interested to see if this we saw it up probably only once so far in this in this opening 29 minutes where kind of Rafia and linum M switch places I wouldn't be surprised if that happened a little bit more regularly just there we go k ra take the shot take the shot take the shot guys we need to take shots work but the defense answering the call with we taken four shots but only one has been on target look at that look at that r i mean say that rajo have taken two shots on Target and one of them have become a goal unbelievable man I'm surprised Raj aren't parking the bus that much see rajo and um in vajas they like to go through phases where they like to be attacking they like to put the team Under Pressure like the chaos you know that the small stadium likes to create and then when Barcelona you know they're looking for the goal they like to sit back and everything and R would like to keep it that way let have a look at what the next few weeks hold for rakano they're going to go to Espanol they're playing both Barcelona teams back to back they'll be away from home this Saturday then of course the international break coming up osasuna at home and chance for revenge against Atletico Madrid who handed out that 70 walloping here year ago build up of course around where Barcelona could go three for three and that may well that's every Spanish team they have the quality even if they're 18 play they can still play the win the teams in Spain they're here tonight their technical quality is through the roof hoping to play a part uring that doesn't happen all right what uh cing break I wonder what w hanzi flick is going to tell the the team no yeah kund keeps keeps him outside that's just poor defensive first of all poor defending from Barcelona that High Line just was all over the place no one is is was watching that cross back and gets be too easily I have multiple favorite teams okay I Adam which teams are those Spanish team 14 the 18th Place will end up fourth or fifth in the fin League [Music] look at that he hear what the other coach is saying he's saying yo let's just play with a little bit more calm Barcelona they're they're exposing toay yeah they're exposing themselves barcela to keep the pressure on they have to move up and field up and down the field as one unit Perez the Young 36y Old Coach ofo Perez who took over in February of this year T Barcelona Bic that's SOG still try to move on from the andon ER here Casey which was really special wasn't it he moved on to Bournemouth yeah it really was he got them back into the league and then and then some very comfortable midt positions and and I thought it was you know it didn't surprise me I guess maybe it surprised me that it was a it took a year longer than it eventually materialized but I thought Iola did such a great job that I was that I thought he would have plenty of suitors eventually goes to the the Premier League and then if I'm not mistaken I think it's the the largest points total that I explain why in the in the Premier League okay go for Adam why do you support those teams what made you support and and success at the Top Flight bad pass from tan not the first eror from turen we've seen this season not the first error see right there made a gift of that gift that wasn't ultimately accepted he did the same at M on opening night saved by P man is m going out our producer confirmed that yes arola did get the highest point total for Bournemouth 48 points and and so it just shows you I mean it you you talk about how you know sometimes clubs smaller clubs who have success in Top Flight are able to entice young managers to get their opportunity entice young players but also then entice you know older players and I'm sure with I'm sure heus Rodriguez had a conversation with falca and that was a huge part to say hey yeah this this is a place that that that you might want to come to and come because there is some there's some cool stuff going on here and once again in this first half against Barcelona you're you're seeing why you know players coaches the likes are taking an interest to Riano I'm pretty sure R dropped points as well last season well the word on the street is that Rabel falca the former Striker Colombian Striker here at was involved in the nice combination between RAF and RAF is involved in this build up RAF you have to let go of the ball sooner manot of this ra without ancel another I'm a Tottenham fan because it's family and all the other top e teams are evil looking Barca because me and my brother went to Barca Academy byring because of Harry Kane okay okay that makes sense having like a family connection eliminating the initial pressure to then combine quickly enough to open up Fon is wide open in the middle Fon take a shot take a shot take a shot Fon Tes sees his blast into the back of Lopez followup cross short of the mark hedri lovely soft control RAF on the left nice one too many one too many one too many rafin isn't having a good game if we're being honest on the ball on the ball his pressing and his intensity it's always there but on the ball he's not having a good game just taking we one too many touches losing the ball a couple times I assume you're from Charlotte powerone just that little bump just doing enough and then kundai rather telegraphed his intentions and Patch upo he's on the right wavelength nice Bernal but Bernal is just there to pull out all the fires man Barca doing a much better job these last 5 10 minutes of of kind of winning that that first and second balls and then because of that they've had more possession now they haven't been able to really we just need that goal man though defensively with that possession that will be the ne next task but it looks like with a little help of the cooling break some communication that they've done a a better job of winning the initial battle there's y oh leine CZ had to Be watchful good shot on goal but um of Sizzle on the shot from yal swerve too yeah but not a lot of danger I would say I ask because it's the capital of my native country probably because I play with them on video games I because Ronaldo all the way that's cool adamal has six goals already in his young La Liga career six goals before six goals turning 18 means that he's only five away from the all-time lead in that particular statistic and given that he's only just turned 17 he has a whole year almost wish to break that and come up with another five goals so a whole year to score five goals wow okay think of the names that have played in this league at a young age is really quite something this is yamal again oh beat patcha now okay L has been able to beat bcha multiple times after he beats that man there isn't the option available either the pass or the shot is having a game this kid is right here One V one but then let's make sure that the passing angle doesn't open up if he does get the opportunity to and the space to to look for the pass again he had to cut back because there wasn't the there was no option he he looked for the pass and and and the cross and and Rio again does a great job of just dropping numbers back and blocking all those passing angles really frustrating first Robert leandi barely any if Robert leoski doesn't get contact with the ball maybe you're looking at B Victor some extra Mobility top n just overed a linal needs encouragement see I understand when you say linu linal is 17 what his first full season as a starter all exploded onto the scene last season it was his debut season now this season he has all the Lim laap and everything he's 17 years old this is when you know Barcelona should be saying hey you know what let's take care of him let's make sure he's you know um feeling comfortable everything like that because he's 17 you know he's um as a professional is in his 30s he's a full grown veteran if you're going to have to ConEd something you want to ConEd the shots from distance a good adjustment there from first 25 no first 20 minutes strong rajo start we can see the goal not not good and and then from then on barcelon they just did they just grown into the game rajel after that initi initial like 15 20 minutes they basically disappeared for me barc's first juu second to careful he got more arm on the B RAF RAF first [Applause] perfectly well I mean kund had both hands on the ball was trying to take a throw well we're going to have a look here and see was there something to farious was there an elbow that came in and you know so these two were kind of wrestling a little bit comes up he goes to throw it well bro that's unbelievable man AB M perhaps made the most of that I think a little bit yeah he definitely put his head in there first and then kundai definitely responded but I like this I like this from muring when when there's really a a lot of nothing then let's be consistent and make sure that it really is nothing and then what it does Adrian is it stops players trying to do things that then get other players in trouble for no reason but if the referee is going to enable it then players will continue to do it if the referee ignores it then they'll realize that there's no point yeah now referee sto gr involved again the decision against Barcelona much of the Delight of the viak fans who've loved what they've seen for most of this first half we're going to need Danny omo and Bal in the second half boys it's just like other than L Ma and potentially RAF Barcelona not creating anything it's just dead there's no threat on the left hand side only threat is coming from the right you know Robert leow completely isolated early strike separating the teams both of bar prior GES have reached half timee with the score 1-1 so still have time to I'll go pass from again RAF ah Rafia poor poor touch a foot out directed the ball back to cardus I don't think you can have both kund and Martin and the return is promising two TR to an opening is cameo and the shot is On Target but doesn't seriously test it to St from Espino I I I think Jal Martin is very solid defensively but you know I don't think he's great going forward and that's perfectly fine you know as a fullback I'm not expecting you to be great offensively you know I'd rather you be a great defender as you should be possession you then drop into a good defensive shell then you find these opportunities where you possession to get quick out on the corner out on the counter attack you know in the end the shot just a nice little Shuffle over from but you're also I I think you're going to need to see Al the Bal in the second half just to see some um not going over some attacking throw on the left because F he keeps cutting inside I'd want to seeo in that number 10 and see see if that can happen do something if it means that I have time to connect a pass I'll do that but it's it's a pragmatic approach that has disappeared from a lot of teams and because of that they find themselves getting relegated because they're trying to do oh nice P magic P meanwhile finding Rafia who inadvertently clipp pedri with the return pass been a lot of this sort of possession and yeah hasn't been threatening from Barcelona I would say finding anything inside the penalty area so far yeah the couple times that that Barcelona have been able to combine or through individuals you know beat the initial line of pressure it's then been too slow to then find the pass again this is what's tough from Lin he has to recognize that as a young player at this Stadium beat the first player and then instantly put a ball in the box or instantly try to combine if you take that that's unbelievable how's that foul man drop drop I mean that's experience right there that it's just so frustrating then Robert leowski will make a run and if and if that initial ball is not played there's no point in making another run because there's two other white shirts in front of you so it's those little things that Barcelona will need to uh we'll need to adjust in the second half if they're going to open up R defensively as you were saying that case here the replay showed leowski trying to find some space with wait so NJ those are the teams that you support going down that's interesting I I wouldn't be able to keep like track of all the teams I'm being honest that the referee deems as a it's Poland on Albania that little coming together four minutes of stoppage time here and AAS in front front of a packed house with Barcelona here on home opening night for Rio and they lead CES see if hunai Lopez's fine strike at the near post relatively early on in this game lowski has had a frustrating first half he now has Barcelona a free kick and a bruise on his shin courtesy of palaz on unbelievable we're notna concede a Counterattack to to end this first half and leowski got it actually twice in the same play bro what a bullet from tan man bad pass from Mar Bal and levandowski resuming hostilities Bal ending up on the ground again Hy flick if I'm Hy flick I'm making changes at half time I I'm looking at this team I'm saying hey I we cannot be wonder what he might be pondering in terms of be hav this for the rest of the game changes have to be made poti changes in the second half as it unfolds of course he has Danny ELO on the bench looking for the return pass almost got there too see look at look at where Fon is ending up he's basically outside of the 18 yard box in a half circle he's supposed to be your your wide player off of almost teams connecting with passes uh centrally I mean they they frustrated Real Madrid at the Vernal they've obviously had good results against barcel here against and Real Madrid and and it is it's it's a case of yeah if if we'll look for opportunities to counter we'll we'll press in Midfield if we get a chance to do that we'll also uh even yo F even when he's pressuring man and make it really frustrating for and what we're not going to do out of the back and and give up opportunities when we don't need to so it is it's it's it's a it's a really really good understanding of how best to maximize the envirment mar because of Ronaldinho Edgar Davids Tik taka y because I like their Jersey also big fan of mariso that back three defense and also when Pogba played early days U days living up to their reputation always find a way it seems to raise their game and raise as the appetite against the big boys Barcelona will have it all to do in the second half here if they are to maintain their 100% start to the season and indeed they head in at halim with their first trailing score line of the Season just brief thoughts Casey on what Hy flick might be talking about look at how is laughing at that you can't get frustrated all right man half time guys Barcelona uh trailing one to zero tur Stan heavily criticized roughly so man I'm sorry bro Barcelona they need they need a new keeper they need a new keeper I know that what's it called barcelon they have you know a left Winger uh P to faill a DM but that that that goalkeeper position needs to be needs to be addressed man e scoot uh stoar I don't know I started watching them even though barely even though they barely win um Monaco cuz I need a French team also F was there wait so you guys choose like a team in every in every League yes the blue and red are very unique I'm surprised I want red and yellow forgot the meity because of the awo company also okay if I was to say my favorite teams well I mean I only have one team that I support I could say that you have some teams for example if if you to ask me hey do you support any teams in in England do you have any teams that you support in Germany I don't really think about it honestly obviously like I support pepal so maybe you can support uh Man City but if pepia leaves Man City I'm not going to be supporting them you know I'm not a man city fan you see what what's crazy is that people you know were absolutely glazing hzi flick we're going insane in um you know after the match against Athletic CL and now people are saying this Barcelona team is poor it's terrible you can't go from being the best in the world to being oh you know we have to burn everything my God and what's worse is T even gets a hand to that man oh but so they haven't created one clearcut chance man bro look at this look look look at the average positions in um know throughout the game look at how everyone is centered in the middle Fon Torres our wide player in the middle of the pitch zero attacking Outlet out on the left boys zero hansy fck going to give the players a real pep talk for sure he looks so pissed I I guarantee can you say oh yeah yeah wait why uh Kobe such a nice city obviously because of Vesta okay PSV because of Adam Robin play there yo itam Robin was was a demon bro that guy was was amazing for OG Barca fans no um this [ __ ] it's been a problem when it comes to goalkeeper from Dua Alles mats they're all PR to mistakes and also hella undersiz goalkeeper when when they learn it to get a tall goalkeeper from K to now ah I'm guessing it's B because of barsona style play they're always trying to go for Keepers who are good on the ball and you know goalkeepers who are good on the ball and as well know good shot Stoppers I mean world class at both it's very few there's actual accounts that um you know their their their Twitter handle or their ex handle is basically saying no to tan days until Tan's contract expires tan out tan leave my club unbelievable bro even my granddad and dad are so annoyed never change qu my hero rest in peace Yan C you know the Godfather of football you would say Tak bro people are meing the oh my gosh just shoot On Target you are beating this fraud mistakes happen mistakes happen what we've been seeing mistakes from tan for years unbelievable nice did dannyel already warming up in um during the halftime all right guys thought thoughts on the first half thoughts on the first half what would you guys like to see changed we never got a great goalkeeper like no Buon I agree I will spawn into P Madrid guys what what do you guys make of the first half Daniel almost warming up right there the only Bara player to warm up all right so it seems that um well let's hope what all right Baldi as well um what thoughts bro we played [ __ ] fed on his off um bad half only good thing is in possession all right what's up mysterious I've been saying this for a long time T Sten will never be a great leader I love him he's a great goalkeeper but never be a leader okay right there you've already given too much credit to T San he's a decent keeper T San has been you know t you know after nfield I I would say he should have been shipped out you know and and it's it's crazy that he's now the the captain of Barcelona unbelievable okay guys when you look at all the big teams in um who are we going to go for when it comes to goalkeeper what the he is Captain yes Adam tur Stan is the captain tur Stan is the captain he's the first captain of Barcelona right now uh what's up Leo uh who are we to go for unai Simon I mean unai Simon I don't think so how the relationships are with a th clue at the moment um I I just don't see how that's happening um when we look at at his I think his release class is crazy at the moment MRA was the perfect option you know but what happens Barcelona they don't go after him they SC out for Danny omo instead his market value is 30 million but um I wonder what's his release Clause market value his contract expires on in 2029 so no chance he goes on know for cheap let me see unimon release clause wait it doesn't contain a release Clause wait I I thought you needed a release claws in in Spain okay that's uh that's weird nice see uh it's been like that for captaincy whoever stayed the longest named the first team captain in Euros I badly wanted have AAL goalkeeper in Barca but sad we didn't approach him and then he goes to Liverpool precisely I know we missed out big he could have been [Music] um our solution for that um that goem in position but what can we do now we chased after niik Williams for so long that that that the deal fell apart and now you know we're left to to basically figure out what we want to do in these final days of the transfer market because they don't buy players that much Danny omo out on the pitch oh wow he's about to come on interesting boys Danny omo debut all right a role in freeing up the required funds the always talking about that pregame but uh all of that matters not what does matter is what can this man do on the pitch Casey we expect him properly to play in the middle don't we yeah I I think what he can do is is really work in tight spaces he can combine well he can he can help he can help let's go f is off I think from what we've seen off what everybody said at half time for Barcelona maybe they need to get the ball wide they got quicker they need to they the put some early crosses in the Box before R has the opportunity to be able to dropa is in the stand lot of should be looking at this and say what is tan doing that's why every player is they have in big Sal because they have the boss policy did this team just get promoted or something um no they but they have been promoted recently Ted grew up just outside of Barcelona in the same small town shaby grew up in a part of the Barcelona Youth Academy from the age of n that's an option that's just I don't know if he's Barcelona quality went off to join Dio Z and 10 years later VB he is and what a first for oh lovely first touch from Dano down here in the surroundings VI acas Almo immediately involved and immediately on the ball and the P going down and doesn't win a dramatic penalty within seconds of coming on refereeing him to get back up I bro how is that foul quiid out no no no I I I know Bal only signed um players from from from from The Basque region just I didn't know that what's it called because of that they don't have release Clauses Dan with a hattick was a little unfortunate not to not to win the penalty that's a little bit optimistic I would Sayo obliged by going over it Dan Elmo's last Club game back on May the 3 a one-1 draw against hoffenheim RB lii four years in the German Bundesliga and then of course have proceeded but Acres of space manigo he made the point pregame that it's easy to forget wasn't first choice for Spain pedri was and pedre's injury in the quarter up the door for Elmo and he grabbed it and then some as rafini is cross Finds Its way back to the aforementioned page R Rafia a had all the you already see barcelon more threatening with Danielo in the middle and Rafa out wide that ball into the channel before riy were able to put any kind of pressure on it and I think that's just part of the halftime talk that that that don't get roped into playing the way that that riy wants you to play and if you can play a little bit more direct and a little bit quicker you will have the opportunities to break this team down reping ah some of them they don't have release claws some of them sign like seven to eight year contracts like inaki no most of those players like they're retiring athletic clube that club is like a family [Music] combin just needs a second to recoup after uh putting his body on the line to make that crucial that crucial block for Rio in yeah well that was genuine the one the one of the tail in the first half was was was Hollywood and pretty bad Hollywood different fi isn't it Barcelona sending him out their store with a lot more relish the start of the second half well you could just pass that to um Danny first ah first touch not the bested I would try to sign for Barcelona and become the lon Messi Spa laa not 100% true Adam I I'll be keeping a man Danny cardz already figures he's going to be for a much busier second half I have faith really didn't have that much yo NJ that's a wild statement Messi needs to touch you then that's a wild statement and really what he did Adrian was was pretty much straight at him and either from distance or or just shots that either had a partial block to it or or just weren't caught with any kind of purchase that was going to cause problems so so far so good for R defensively and I think a lot of two is is is just really smart decision making I think what Cardis did was not take risks clear balls that needed to be cleared you know but so much of it that that Barcelona just did not have a finished product for whatever reason HRI to matin Almo providing a reference isn't he no le somehow eluding leowski any sort of no leowski how do you miss that they just face through you that trademark slide in to apply the finish and he couldn't make contact but this attack was far more precise than what we've seen and how quick the combination plays were yeah I think I don't know if cardus got a little bit of a touch let's just see here from this angle and maybe yeah just a ferp to it that then as it came through it just fell to the wrong spot for levandowski I think a a foot forward or a foot back and my gosh maybe bundle the ball into the net but a let off for r as Barcelona had their best attacking sequence of thech and Raj on the C thank goodness and already you feel the tone being very much established for the second half here good Ser from Barcelona these opening minutes guys was trying to buy a little bit of a reprieve at least for his Defenders but I think he was in his own half Casey but yeah but is it the body or the feet or what's the you know so maybe his uh his portion of his chest was just offside that's a terrible cross on my deliver another telling cross not the same caliber this time time Andis will just take a moment to hold on get some of the sting out of the proceedings here Barcelona have launched themselves at this second half like they mean business bro person they keep position of the ball man 55 million up to $60 million if you believe various reports Danny ELO that's a foul that is a foul anding of a cost there may well be a cost to pay for conceiving a free kick to yal this close to the Penalty area what lovely goal Rafia good cross leowski oh my God you touched the ball as well was already in position Casey to apply the finishing T it was a really good it was a really good play and you saw just how much quicker it developed than what we saw from any of the attacks from Barcelona was really quick onew touch Rafia looks up and he just said I'm hitting this cross early I'm not taking another touch to allow the r defense any kind of opportunity to get back Danny Elmo oh good shot from Danny Elmo did he get a touch levandowski thought so rafin likewise oh no it was ARF actually who took the shot good effort eight the goalkeeper gets a hand to that no always going wide yeah and add anyway Casey of course he did off trying to get going again as a as an attacking [Music] Force have one of the Great Dan talented standing tonight p p now good numbers here for Barcelona leandi is peeled away leowski You're so [ __ ] bro what's that shot man look at that counter from Barcelona oh my gosh man uncomfortable position of having to run backwards facing their own goal and you saw what leand was trying do is the far post was blocked the idea was can you cut it back to the near post maybe get it through the defender legs unight the goalkeeper and sneak one into that near post well the goal scorer is going to play no further part in this second need encouragement unai Lopez you heard Sid mention it at half time that's a good habit of scoring only to this point it's going to be I can see why p is coming in just to give little more referee they're wasting time in Midfield and I don't think they really wanted to see you know a situation from Alo garciaa as well that they might have to to change but you can see the the different impetus from Barcelona and and how much quicker they're playing than they did in that first half and Lopez out CE yeah theales midfielder from Sagal interesting also it's going to Bea who comes on no OB was obviously going to change the the Dynamics of the game youth team player Barcelona lacked any like zero attack on the left hand side moving ra out wide Dano in the middle that that changes Barcelona's attack completely nice lamine as they went down Lam yamal Danny Almo had a positive start to life in a Barcelona shirt oh wait what happened here what happened to the stream Martin oh okay the stream seems to be lagging all right there we go to find a way out of a jam out of a jam all right again that sequence of results here 1-1 last year 2-1 to rakano the year before rowski was on the score sheet that night but in a losing effort and then the year before that Rabel falca with the only goal of the game rakano nice good combination ah no points had the longest unbeaten run against Barcelona in the 21st century going they G they' gone five games in a row without losing against it was quite remarkable that ended last April at the monek then Barcelona won 3-0 and you think of the teams that could possibly have done that I don't think would have come to mind for a lot of them but it just goes to show you that that if you that Kun Martina both defensive forb back doesn't work I agree if if you're going to play oh CR shot from shot from almost downtown Madrid clipp the top of the crossbar was it Danny Elmo it was from an improbable range very strange quick quick restart wasn't it yeah and theno just takes the stri oh what a shot from ELO I don't know if it's a case of card's just out of a bro Danny bringing life into this team and the width of the crossbar comes to the rescue well happened so quick it almost called everyone out as see Danny ELO the Viano Defenders just standing around didn't hesitate there he is again again not quite quick enough was it from Lam yal you heard Ali talking about that at half time as early crosses haven't quite been delivered oh my gosh just to change it up a bit now change the dynamic a little that's Cameo good work from him in the hold up roll quite so good with the pass B pedri able to settle finish that please there you go there we go there we go completely open there we go bring it back it's bring it back let's go we're back in the game in the holding in one of 10 is such a beauty let's go Barcelona 111 30 minutes come on better equalizes yeah it's been better but the these weren't the spaces that R allowed Barcelona to get in in the first half and so I don't know if it was a case where they felt that they were just defending too much they opened up they had a little bit of possession higher up and then when possession was turned over they weren't able and it also you know it's part of it R but a big part of it is just the the different attitude that Barcelona had in this second half and how much quicker they've moved the ball finally exploited space they've taken equ it has to be said welld deserved from Barcelona the way they've approached the start of this second half P's first of this new season what his his fifth year now as a Barcelona starter still only at the age of 21 he had uh so much of last season that was missed du to injury four months in total different injuries and then of course missed the the climax of Spain's successful Euro campaign his injury open things up for Danny ELO the two of them together now and it's bro has been excident in that Midfield guys yeah it's been a combination obviously his introduction but then just a different attitude and and R really didn't want halftime to come you know they were yeah they were they were making things frustrating they were you you could see from some of the reaction from the Barcelona players and it's like bro we can see theing staff and it's been a completely different Barcelona team from the way that they started the match I mean the the guys at halftime talked about the last 10 minutes of the first half that Barcelona were starting to figure things out and then wait waiting for that approach the introduction of Danny ELO and it's it's been a completely different Barcelona team from that opening half now oh let's go Barcelona go I would't be surprised if de plays a ro holding while 10 tried to find leoski see but the problem is that you also have Fabian Ruiz in there and the combination pedri quite reading the situation as almost a little step over sure EC palaz meant that step over but it worked Z that Midfield with pedri Fabian and rodri I think I think is like perfect so now what do comes out the second halfed equ but then you also have F you also have Zu You also Marino I I think they get back to just maybe being a little more uh unfortunate I think for the neutral fan but just just being a little bit more just destructive in in what they're doing not being not putting numbers forward not trying to look for a winner but almost just consolidate that point at home staying undefeated uh to start start the first three matches would be huge and and understanding that how Barcelona have started this second half if they want to get more numbers forward it's only going to open up more space for Barcelona to take advantage RAF assist by the way RAF assist score those circumstances but maybe the odd Counterattack but very quickly get back into good defensive shap because this is situ right yo R's waiting so so many so much time with these substitutions in these injured players zubba will never start unless rodri gets suspended or injured I agree rodri is is bettery come but as an option in that Midfield he can he can always be solid Bal day on as well play for two seasons at the camp now only actually made three appearances for basa but got a a league winners medal in 2016 Martin has also come off see this is why a left Winger is so is so important man and Alex Bal is indeed we need someone on that left wing if Baldi for example in this game isn't playing then Barcelona's suffer you know talking about trying to protect him after his injuries last year he immediately involved here yeah these are the opportunities I think that riyle hold the ball up win a set piece bring numbers upal combo works well they do rajel one Barca three okay there's Randy bar scored three goals in one half his presence felt but the C attack could be on RAF can't get there val did well awkward Landing or did kund leave a little bit extra well that'll be for Mr Gro to sort out Oscar Valentine was oh my God recipient here he just landed equally didn't he uh referee you better be looking at that stopwatch man this Barcelona momentum as well yeah it's just it's just stopping the momentum time and time again man pedre's arrival in the Box just looking at the replay of that goal from the other angle was just perfection wasn't it because the Defenders were all attracted to levandowski and pedu just slipped in behind the lines and and and everything that we saw from Barcelona in the first half when they had similar moments the play developed too slow and then when they looked for that ball centrally there was there was no angle there was no pass to connect with a teammate that time it happened quicker and because it happened quicker and and then players recognized that pedri was able to come in and and get himself in a in a fantastic spot and then what in the end was a very comfortable just passing the ball into the corner for The Equalizer Danny Elmo I'd say bring on pal Victor if Barcelona they can't get the the winner in in the last couple minutes or even f for pedri three goals is enough to win but I'd rather bring Mar scen mod competition case used to be five six or seven to most yeah yeah I think some of that is also coming down to the fact that almost most teams only play with one Striker and that it gets and that the goal scoring duties get uh get pass how we know rodri pedri ruizo will have a field trip against Enzo M the Paul Oscar Valen can play no further I I don't know about that I don't know about that because it's one thing I'm confident about Argentina is that they're they're they're solid the team is just solid throughout yeah there's going to be sections of this second half in this this you know final 20 plus minutes where ri's going to be playing in a back six a back seven and uh you know just finding those opportunities to to hold off the Barcelona Surge and then if they have the opportunity off of the counter or off of a set piece feel Spain is crazy good way better than ARA I mean I agree it's the talent wise is better but just because it's better doesn't mean they're going to win after all Argentina World Cup champions Spain aren't levels you know first contribution there's a reason why this team is back toback cop America Champions and World Cup champions Jamz Rodriguez stands now wishing he was out there case if only just to take this we're whip in some of these balls and cause some chaos Anda it is who does take it great Punch Yeah that's about as comprehensive of a punch as you could ever have this reached the halfway line didn't it enigo Perez has still been very vocal despite their positive starts to the season saying listen our goal doesn't change it's to avoid relegation and remain in the first division yeah 100% there's no I mean I'm sorry I mean there's I'd say probably two3 of every league in the world you know that has promotion relegation that that's the main goal oh we they can't shink passes together here good little response from R left that could have been promising andek still has it e is wide open uh e palaz on the ball not quite for him offside in any case the only thing Argentina has is Messi and Emmy Martinez maybe Julian and Nik Gonzalez the rest easy food I I disagree just the only wiling for Spain is a striker play up a little bit and then eventually when it broke down the flag came up palaz on took us so long as broadcasters to get used to that flag not coming up until later that now when you call a game that doesn't have V and that and you're like oh what's going on here why why are they not letting this continue and see how it plays out very 20 minutes hold possession right here hold possession boys we have 20 minutes left into the match you know Dano with space both their opening games by score line they looking for more of the same pass the ball around pass the ball around why why go for pedy he's in between three go top of the La Liga table three wins out of three they can find a win here in the final 20 minut is trying to do just that leandi on the doorstep couldn't get the shot away that's a goal that's a goal level two persistence from the PO there we go it looked like the chance had gone there we go but is it ever gone when you're dealing with Robert leandi and that just shows the the composure of a world class goal scor that he doesn't just Panic spin at it when it comes his way realize that there's a player in his path that he's unable to hit the strike first time and and then has the composure just to open up a tiny little angle for himself to pass the ball into the far corner is that a foul potentially have a little look here and kind of see what the r players were complaining about n that's not a foul possession so if that's what they're looking at I don't see that happening uh I mean that would be harsh on Barcelona no no no no no way you disallow that no yeah that's you see anything I don't see anything I mean no finish again and admire it even if it's bro that that's a warcloud finish from leowski right there still ad I mean he threaded that through with such precision as you say unbelievable manum out my boy no way I mean no way you know he maybe stood on a tiny toe end he stood on his toe enough for the player to go down the way he did but enough but enough while he won the ball because there he wins the ball with kind of the back heel I mean it's all kind of one movement I don't really it's his toe I I I don't see enough here I just don't I mean it's and obviously as a former RI player I he gets the ball it's the follow through result but that's not the point the point I just don't know if no no I mean together but I think it is going to get chocked off nope it's a goal it y let's wasn't enough oh no he called it off no he did call it off did he I thought he was pointing to the center circle on unable man I don't know that to me that's that's tough because I think when you're unbelievable unbelievable obvious that's just two guys going for a ball and you know you are going to have those little arms legs kind of Tangled and I just didn't see much there I just don't see it and it was kund standing leg not the one no but see but the thing is that this is a contact sport there is going to be contact I if I step on your toe it's it's oh my gosh man oh wow they always felt that the that the big boys always got the benefit of the doubt and that they were always picked on and so maybe there's a little bit of justice but I don't know for me that's a little harsh that would AG great can see perhaps why it was overturn when you go and look at that in the v monitor casc it always looks unb slow motion yeah yeah I mean don't get me wrong I I I I get it but I just you know I wish there was that little bit of consistency which is it's a toenail man it's a toenail different referees and different interpretations but it just didn't seem like stepping on someone's foot intentionally or not is considered a foul sense to to overturn no I I I mean but that's ridiculous offb just like for example when these players are like feel any sort of contact and they dive and people call that out foul you know that's absurd you know he he leads been put to B it's not you know I it's not I'm stepping on your foot you know just full on I step on your toe out to go Barcelona denied they go ahead and I win the ball first here these guys only die because the the referees call everything you know any slight contact foul top with a win but do R go top with a win as well they it depends what they win by I think I think as it stands they will be behind V on goal score but if they score one more they would they would in fact go top or certainly level top with VL there there again is what we're looking at I mean that is the definition of a tow end isn't it I mean it's yeah that is that is that is as close as it can be as we hit this cooling break everybody readjust but yeah that's you can see where would beated that's what every team does the foul was there look at Roger look at Barcelona every team in the world does that it's because the referees allow that toow of course ofes and rightfully so if you're if you're Raj vajo if you're Raj I'm telling you hey any contact dive I don't have I I don't blame any fault on I blame the referees it's simple if you allow the game to be played if you allow the game to be physical then that's fine you know then those fouls aren't called if we Pi you can't blame Argentina for being smart you know and I I can't blame um Raja as well everyone being very careful to cover NJ bro he's steing on your toe man he stepped on your toe you're telling me that you've seen the guy dive you think he was hit by a truck or something tremendous noise as always here from faithful it's not like he full on just stepped on like the entire foot no go Perez with some simple instruction that's oh as they try and keep their own un start to this campaign going well I mean now we have 13 minutes in order to get a goal have we against absolutely a billion times it hurts like a [ __ ] but you you still keep on playing you know a yo-yo team for a while up and down they went more stability now a dream of the glory years the Casey Keller era F penal saved and the like European competition good to see the old church with the to Stepping H what was it the spider the honeycomb okay we'll agree to disagree we'll agree to disagree oh that's right nicely done and bit of work for turen embaba him something to think about good throw and as pedri tried to cut back inside he was flattened does a great job here just creating the space cut tuck inside little awkward moment as it just shifted a little to ter Stag's right more than he anticipated that he recovered very well a rebound oh what a pass from leowski L from levandowski helping get on to Minal who tried to return the favor little bit behind leandi Danny ELO and he goes for a shot not forget rattle the crossbar not long ago a nice little flick in behind Espino and then a touch from Lin m try to thread it through and you got to know you're not getting a free run in the box at this stage of the match that's for sure cor a kick levandowski taking a tumble again you're not getting a free run five in the penalty area trying to find some space again parona will look for a better angle of delivery yo someone put in the cross pleas one he can't but it still might be on and they will set up and do it again another Corner ConEd by and what's also crazy is that this wasn't called a penalty inside the final 10 minutes 1-1 far Post delivery and off the line may have been heading in was a great header just beyond the far post I think it was goal bound bro look at how many times s has [ __ ] us over man I remember the one against the game againsta the game against Real Madrid what is this mayorca clim wasn't that by cubasi it was really really well timed at the far post andun does a great job of just dropping back and filling that space and eventually all right clearing it off the line what can Rafia or pedri conjure up here noi bro you can't even get the back acoss can't even get the header on target man oh Dan Elmo you're clear Danny Elmo arriving good concentration by mumin had to be careful he did it was it was really good ble control for a second it looked like maybe he was going to take out Dano Dano take the shot go has scored Dani scored on this debut Danielo scores on this debut that's what we needed boys referee call that call that off find something find something find something to call that off there we go Dano already has more goals than mbae that's all I'm saying Danielo in a half of football already has more goals than the up let's go what a dream start for Danny Elmo after all the drama to getting him registered happens last night introduced at halftime and he's made a an impact from the opening minute of this second half and we talked about operating in tight space first it was a great turn but then finding that I mean there what a goal from Dano man does brilliantly Define Elmo but then the Perfect Touch away from pressure and then quickly get the ball off his foot and then what a goal what a goal from Dano see but the problem with with Danny omo is that we need a left Winger we need a DM we need a goalkeeper we need a fullback now with the injuries we need Center back you know we need other positions that we need to fail to put it be almost quality I don't think was ever in in in doubt there's only a tiny Channel enable it's just that is it right to spend on a position that we've already have covered Dani is obviously going to bring quality to the team let's go boyss here's where I would subed off excellent bring on Maro bring on um who else can you bring on B Victor maybe have completely turned this game around looking out of sorted up against it through the first half an hour here and Vas a place where they always seem to struggle the second half has been a completely different story yeah the second half has been much better than the first the changes from H fck have just changed it to find leandi as Barcelona don't look like they're about to back off well 2-1 score line with a familiar look about it for Barcelona early in this new campaign oh that's a foul nine points on the book let's hope let's hope because the game isn't finished yet the game isn't isn't done yeah they've shown their their ability to to not drop their head to adjust understand they've got so much Talent on the field and and that they're Don't Panic ah had the goal you know a lot of teams having that goal called back under the circumstances may have just complained and held their head but they said no they just they kept fighting game plan and have got their rewards now when Barcelona won the title two years ago they did so off having record break breaking you know defensive record and so far first three games haven't kept a clean sheet but what they have been able to do is is is is you know keep that score line to one not allow teams to come back into matches once they've gotten themselves back in the lead so this will be an interesting final five minutes plus stoppage time in the reaction that R has in and now got him nice you know they can little Caution to the Wi throw some more numbers forward and see if they can find an unlikely equalizer this is Florine Lun couldn't take the ball with him he was on side too the Barcelona defend agree but was the timing yeah what was the timing of that run was it was it perfect coming from that deeper position or carried Spain with he had a great Euro campaign man kept on so it doesn't matter now the best players on the pitch tonight Mar Bernal L Mal Danny ELO bro Bal just kept on side a foot offside I think tough to tell wasn't it for the angle we were afforded there Bal day was player who might have been keeping him onside here is b day oh and P as well but B's performance like his first half wasn't good but he improved so much um and overall when you look at the takeaways from this game guys I would say one profiles matter I don't I don't think Fon can can play talk about shepherding the ball out of play that was quite literally walked out of play by m who claimed he was foul wow um yeah takeaways from this game I don't think for example Jal Martin and kund can play um it's just simply because of the profile of the player that they are no I think both of them are a little bit too defensive I think if you are going to play Fon and you know hand but in the end I like the corner kund and Mar I think you miss uh attacking threat on the left hand side tonight name Mo here the cross that's right into the waiting arms of cus so looks to get via going what's up Pemba Bros abusing profile pictures of the players to man pedri holding roll as something else I mean pedri in general is insane I guarantee if pedri was playing in the number 10 he would have been also fantastic left ped down on the ground a good oldfashioned touch and tackle and patri I was a little surprised that he went in for this ball at this stage that he just didn't drop off let him have it to stay in a good defensive position CU here's the here's the big touch and then there Comes The oldfashioned Tackle it was really more on the follow through than it was on the on the challenge itself but yeah that's a yellow cardas got the yellow card for his troubles better he gets inj 10 better he gets injured and gets tackled a lot painful in the extreme for p i mean if he plays in the in the base he he has to run more plenty of injury concerns to deal with 10 minutes left last year okay not to mention during the Euros actually a tackle from Tony Cruz bro just sub pedri out just sub him out Bring on no point in keeping pedri off there's five minutes remaining to in the match played a big part simple just bring him just take him off and he's played a big part on his Barcelona debut here in turning this game on its head Danny Elmo will get all the headlines Casey and rightfully so you I mean it was a poor start from Barcelona that R took advantage of they started to make adjust end dude what a finish from Danny ELO man Dano going to fit like a you know it's going to fit like a ring stop making La Subs it's annoying that excellent from m i mean but it is but you waste time composure fine coming on a prolific goal scorer very far from it it's not his primary role is it never scored more than eight in a season Danny Alo but he's going to get every opportunity you imagine to threaten that tally in this Barcelona team he's going to get his chances he's going to create plenty of Chan F coming on for um 10 minutes a Val time wow that's a that's a lot some late action replacing pedri true it's not too necessary unless he scores last minute I mean r they did R did waste a lot of time so I understand why it's 10 minutes yeah a wild via roale case you didn't see winning 4-3 last night in a simly wild game against ctao it's viale who were top of the table at the moment but Barcelona about to displace them however Cano have 10 minutes of stumpage time to do try and do something about it yeah that number surprises me a little bit I know that there was the obviously the hydration break and and a couple injuries but I thought they were trying to kind of reel in some of these exaggerated stoppage time numbers that we saw last season ra all right 10 minutes left into the match surveying the scene takes the free kick not to no one all right and a rare cross that went beyond everyone Barcelona have been really effective in this second half from wide positions I think oh look at F in that situation right there winning second balls to start this match for the first 10 15 minutes it was all right on the pitch and whatever hzi flick said at halftime and and and really I think where it it it really started was at the uh after the first hydration break was where barcel just be calm in possession right here K charg down good by cardus in the edge yeah came through a crowd I think he saw it a little bit late and then did a good job of putting it in a position that didn't gift any kind of rebound to Barcelona tackle jar and then that's a different sort of tackle one that will get a yellow card VI in first VI is having a great start to the season guys let me see hold on V four to three wow sure that you didn't give up a Counterattack and when you look at the table from distance came through a group of players oh no because of that draw able to because of the draw against um I thinko Madrid they're n first RAF to Cur [Applause] it body in the way was M all right Madrid in sixth Madrid they're going to play when Madrid are GNA play lots of space here for kund on Thursday now Danny Almo and Rafia up to meet it Furious he didn't make a Cleaner contact yeah we knew as R had to push more numbers forward to look for an equalizer was going to open up a ton of space for Barcelona and solid solid the 27th of October is what El Classico if Madrid sack on chelotti they're going all in for shab alono for sure I think so as well I think so as well I was actually surprised to see shabby alono stay at Bayer liver you know Bayern were interested Real Madrid were interested Liverpool were interested counter attacking opportunity that was wasted there by the home team leowski ah too much power yeah not a good ball from Danny Elmo really probably for the first time tonight that that Elmo just isect B Victor let's go five minutes I mean but that's the type of ball that you need to over hit the last thing you want to do on this um I'll probably in a watch party in Barcelona oh okay my science I mean might as well stay another year in lever and try to run it back again but do you think that he's going to be able to replicate the same thing that he did with um with leverkus on because I I view that as like a fluke season they've been playing good but also that stupid late winter game I mean but like you're not going to be able to continue that for another whole full season I I I don't think so heard Ali Moreno pregame singing the Praises of pal Victor saying Hey listen no levandowski no problem they got pal Victor waiting in the wings yeah that's that's what they said I mean and again it's it's a o I think e hit hit ban in the face with his shoe with his CLE same as barcel 2022 La Liga was a fluke cuz Madrid played [ __ ] so it's giving an opportunity for younger players Victor I mean but at the same time Barcelona and Bayer liver they're just two different teams you know b l Bay Leverkusen is nowhere near the the side for example if you just say barcelon winning La Liga is that a surprise no but clubs around the world are filled with no I mean Bayern lusin they're playing some of the best football in Europe at the moment under shave Alonzo but if you were to say are by Leverkusen a contender you know every season for the Bundesliga are they Contender for the Champions League you know or you know multiple trophies maybe show that he should get an opportunity to score goals for the first team turn the all that Liga is Madrid and Barcelona I agree not what HCK wanted to see wait a second that was a chance and then wow wild are we contenders for UCL what a story that would have been the former Barcelona man no I I mean we're not but for example if Barcelona were to were to win the UCL would you be like oh my God this is you know historic I don't think so barcel the Champions League five times my my point is my point is simple staying at Byer Leverkusen in order for for the statement you know we're gonna go and win the the bundes Lea again or compete in the Champions League I think you know all power to you but is that realistic I don't I don't think so I don't think that bar lerus going to repeat what they did last season that's a fluke season that's a historic season you know quite get it clear but then applies the pressure on a CE with a little bit too much relish and I I I I don't believe that Bayern that Bayern Munich they're going to go trophyless two seasons in a row you know I didn't found anybody I don't think that Bayern Munich are going to allow that all lined up on the edge of the Barcelona penalty area free kick is hung up met by kund day got to watch some bundes Lea big man close to picking that off the last of the 10 minutes of me okay soj you're seeing that that Byer Li they're going to win no way the ground oh my God could get a so NJ you're going to say that by lver are going to win it's it's the same thing you were talking about with with um with I think CL reaching the Europa final I mean that's just that's like way too optimistic a clubbe every season they compete to get into those spots winning it that's AB that's you know insane yeah lever they're cleaning it are they going to be able to hold this for another whole season post flick I don't know some I I say no they'll do again again as 10 minutes clicks around Barcelona having to dig very deep here another header away on farz palazon they have to get it back in in a hurry in it comes kund away nice good defending Miss hit followup shot now with the keeper stranded he'll just boot that forward or cus actually managed to get back but rafini is still takes him around I mean the only threat Bal has is man united in the U that's say the rest they can out play them I me I don't know about that I think T will win the Europa League unexpected results are going to happen simple whistle blown has the opportunity to smash deep depends on who they have it's that's true but then again you know I I think you guys are overestimate line no I I I I don't watch the Europa League if I'm being honest just I do know a CL and I know that they're a historic team in in La Liga but they're not a European giant El I'm not going to say you know this team is going to win the Europa League or anything yeah they have a shot but I'm it's not a guarantee that should be is just like it's not a guarantee that bar they can compete for that but I I'm not going to say they're going to win it you know yes they could contend but are they a favorite or like uh a guaranteed thing all right guys Barcelo win two to one we complete the comeback we finally beat Raj varano after a threeyear drought and um Dano man of the match completely changed that second half marn yeah he definitely will absolutely change that change the game winner leaves us with the final but see this I don't agree with that I don't agree that they have a high chance I don't agree but um you know agree to disagree we each have our different opinions that's perfectly fine um but guys thank you guys for watching I unfortunately will not be able to have a a match reaction for this game I I'll be able to to upload that video later tonight but um guys thank you guys for watching thank you guys for tuning in I catch you guys all in the next video peace out
