President Joan Laporta had already taken at least some pressure from Ronald Koeman a few hours before kick-off. He remains coach of Barça, announced the boss of the Catalans and justified this with a advance of trust . The coming days and weeks for the Netherlands after the renewed setback on Saturday evening, the next days and weeks are likely to be by no means.
From the tribune, on which he had to take place again because of his lock, Koeman saw his co-trainer Alfred Schreuder s assisted team at the beginning had significantly more game shares, but hardly found against Clever defending hostel. The Rojiblancos, where Griezmann took place at the duel with his ex-club only on the bank, lurked on ball gains through situative pressing and resulting switching situations. In this way, the newly entered into the team Lemar (9th) and Joao Felix (17th) recorded the first two dangerous financial statements of the game.
Barça is played - Koeman beats his hands in front of the face
The leadership achieved the most visual hosts but by a lightning-played attack, which Joao Felix initiated with a dribbling. His hard pass put Suarez perfectly with a contact in the run of Lemar, who died from left to Ter Stegen and no defense chance to the German goalkeeper with a high shot in the long corner (23.). Although Barça had found almost the appropriate answer from Coutinho s worth seeing out the right response (27.), but as well as in direct resume can be removed even higher than Suarez detached (28th).
Koeman phoned on the grandstand visibly excited - the recording of the two youngster Nico and Gavi had not led to the hoped-for carefree in the game of the Catalans. Instead, his team was once again playing out after all the rules of art: With a lightning fast combination, Joao Felix and Lemar escaped the defense of the Catalans, so that only piqué remained remained. He was overturned by Lemar and Suarez set freely in front of Ter studs against his ex-club to 2: 0 (44.) - Koeman hit his hands in front of his face.
Barça knows little with the ball - Coutinho and Ansu Fati careless
In the second round his team continued to have more possession, but by no means more ideas - and was at the few opportunities at the end of the conclusion. So GAVI made great use for an overpayment situation, but Coutinho shot completely freestanding exactly on Oblak and left the large connection option (60.), the substitute Ansu Fati chased a free kick out of excellent position in the clouds (70th).
Atletico did not do more than necessary, but continued to be defensively extremely well sorted and, ultimately, brought the three points largely to the finish. For the time being, the defending champion jumped in second place, Barcelona remained in the midfield of the table - and much more pleasant will not be the tasks even after the country break. At first it goes in the league against Valencia, then the Clasico stands against Real Madrid.
