Barcelona vs Arsenal: A Gamper 2019 round | sports
With the Camp Nou full to the flag, the Barca evidenced in the Gamper that pursues the football of touch and position that defined him in past times, bets on the touch and the advanced pressure, by a dominating football and in a foreign field. Objective he accomplished in the victory against a Arsenal much more filmed, although as stunted in his proposal as effective at the auction, because Aubameyang was enough with a shot (exquisite) to beat Neto. But the important thing was that the ball rolled and any headache seems minor. Among other things because there is a mess in the board where President Bartomeu unfolds to occupy the positions of dissident managers such as Jordi Mestre, unhappy with an easy opinion board; La Masia is a guirigay where Kluivert, formed in Ajax, intends to put order; and coach Valverde begins the course with the magnifying glass on top, ratified by the board and discussed by the fans after football from the previous course, even though LaLiga won.
Many entanglements that could blur the leadership and aim of Messi – so loose as ambitious with the micro -, also with that of a team that has been reinforced with necessary and non-complementary players; finally a team made, perhaps with the sole aspiration of repatriate to Neymar If the PSG is good to talk, so far elusive because before you lose patience than money.

Turn for the new
Valverde participated in the Gamper party by starting the three signings – without counting the newcomer Junior; to Net under the sticks, to De Jong of mediocentro and Griezmann of battering ram. Little could the goalkeeper be seen, beyond his prayers before the initial whistle, although more participatory was Griezmann, which in a few days clarifies that Barça football is not a sudokufor him but he understands the dragging and unchecking of support and rupture as few, always supportive and little filigree because he both plays one or two touches, trained as he is. But he lacks the goal, the joy and the celebration that, according to his friend Mirotic, he has prepared for the occasion.
The one who took the cheers was From Jong, footballer made with him Masia mold. Always well positioned but less daring than Busquets in the pressure, the Dutchman gave a recital of easy play and even anticipation, punctual steals to return the ball to Barça as required by the commandments. And, with the ball on his feet, he put common sense, diligent and precise passes that found Riqui Puig, headline because Valverde wants to fiddle him although he knows that every time he plays the popular requests for him to get on the first team will be triggered. But neither the club nor the coach is in a hurry because he cooks better over low heat. Version that discuss the feet of Riqui, magical in sporadic actions such as that bankruptcy that sat Xhaka or that kick that Leno stopped in two stages.
Jordi Alba also tested it from outside the area, deep and lacerating side that finally found his sosias on the right because Semedo improves to each passing course and, before Arsenal, it was worth two because Dembélé seemed to be still on vacation, at point that almost no knot is made with the legs of so much sterile breakage.
Little or nothing worried Arsenal's rival dominance, which was enough with an oriented control and a fabulous shot of Aubameyang to beat Neto and, incidentally, remember with facts and not with words that in Europe every clueless account. A painful blow for Barça, unique in wanting and spreading the ball but with half the chilli pepper that Arsenal. Problem, in any case, minor because they replaced the spare parts, in which Suárez finally appeared after returning from the Copa América and legalizedSergi Roberto on average. Precisely, a mixture between the two ended in the final goal, already on the horn to despair of Emery, who had already choked on the equalizer, since Maitland-Niles, in a grotesque mistake, gave the leather back when Leno went out to look for it to become a goal as funny as blushing.
Joy for Barça, who finally had a round Gamper.
