1. Goals to elevate the game
Barça is playing a style of football that is often underestimated. Despite the absence of Pedri, the team manages to create many chances to close out recent matches, except for the Copa match against Atlético. The issue lies in the lack of accuracy to satisfy both teams and especially the opposing goalkeepers. In other words, Hansi Flick's team would prefer fewer chances but higher effectiveness. Barça played well to win at Anoeta and in the first half against Girona, but lost points in the second half where six points slipped and the lead went away.
2. With role and acceleration
Levante’s playing style varies between many passes or few touches. The second approach has been more effective recently. Joan Garcia’s teammates must focus on direct passes from Mathew Ryan to Ivan Romero or Eba Eyong, especially when leaving their own half with few touches. Running increases chances to attack the rival area, which recently has been causing problems for Barça’s defensive structure.
3. Against defensive holes
Mentality determines the performance as long as the Barça plan with quality and intelligence is followed. Approaching the final stages of the season—March, April, and May—it's time to relaunch with self-respect to recover consistency and intensify pressing, benefiting midfielders and Barça’s defensive system. It is worrying that Joan Garcia stands out more than the excellent goalkeeper, who should be ready to save the few chances opponents have. Current defensive gaps will close when Barça regains control, presses high relentlessly, and puts the ball where it belongs: in the net.
