Barcelona –
Trainer Barcelona Ronald Koeman highlighting the bluntness of the Blaugrana in the first half when facing Real Betis. At that time, El Barca did not play Lionel Messi.
Barcelona managed to beat Real Betis 5-2 at Camp Nou in the LaLiga continued match on Sunday (8/11/2020) in the morning WIB. El Barca’s five goals in this match were created by Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezmann, Pedri and two goals from Lionel Messi. Meanwhile, Betis was only able to reply through goals from Antonio Sanabria and Lorenzo Moron.
Even though Barcelona was able to score five goals in this match, Koeman seems still not satisfied with his team’s final finish. The Dutch coach thinks the Blaugrana should be able to win more than five goals.
He regretted that Barcelona wasted many opportunities, especially in the first half. In the first half of the match, Barcelona, who played without Lionel Messi, did appear less sharp.
Of the few that are owned, Barcelona can only score one goal through Ousmane Dembele in the 22nd minute. One of Barcelona’s chances that was wasted in the first half was when Griezmann’s penalty failed to produce a goal because it was pushed over by Betis goalkeeper, Cladio Bravo in the 32nd minute.
This situation made Barcelona have to settle for playing 1-1 with Betis until halftime after Antonio Sarabia equalized at the end of the first half. Barcelona’s front line performance began to improve in the second half. This cannot be separated from the inclusion of Messi to replace Ansu Fati after the break.
“We deserved to win and should have won in the first half. We had a lot of chances and missed the penalty,” he said Koeman quoted from AS.
“We ended (the first half) with only a score of 1-1. But in the second half, we were able to keep up the spirit in our team and in the end we could score five goals, although we could have more,” he explained.
This victory over Real Betis led Barcelona up to 7th. They collected 11 points from seven matches.
