Nyom's law surpasses Barça

2020-10-17T22:00:49.333Z


The physical and aggressive football of the Getafe defender prevails in a match that marked Griezmann for bad and Pedri for good


Nyom's law rules the Coliseum.

The Frenchman's physique had more impact than Pedri's talent.

Getafe was faithful to its solid, intense and aggressive game, expressed in its overwhelming defender, and the disappointing Barcelona was not reached with the exquisiteness of its forward from Tegueste.

None of the famous Barça attackers took advantage of Pedri's repertoire.

All, and especially Griezmann, failed against David Soria and the Catalans are on their way to the classic with the same regret as Madrid.

Both were too heavy for the national team break in their matches against Getafe and Cádiz.

Barcelona played badly, tired and despondent, simply willful, reduced by a strong opponent and at ease with the contest, very tricked, regretful and syncopated, impossible for a team that is still very light like Koeman's.

Barça fans did not find a way to even avoid defeat in a stadium where they had not lost since 2011. A bad day especially for Griezmann.

There are footballers who fall on their feet, such as Pedri, always praised, the days he plays and the days he rests, and there are also those who find it difficult to find their place when they change teams, few like Griezmann or Dembélé.

Pedri was a starter in a day of rotations and played as a midfielder in the position of Coutinho, the same one for which Griezmann, right winger with Koeman at the start of LaLiga, sighs.

The Frenchman took advantage of his good performance against Croatia to justify why he scored goals with his national team and not at Barça.

The Barça coach answered his request and placed him at 9 in Getafe.

Griezmann and Messi exchanged their positions by the same rule of three that in his day the Argentine exchanged with Luis Suárez when the Uruguayan arrived at Camp Nou.

The invention failed: Messi was less Messi when he fell to the band and Griezman continued to be Griezmann, erratic as a finisher, clumsy in control and worker in defense, more supportive than Dembélé.

Often, Dembélé plays against two teams, his and the opposite, repetitive in losses, unable to interpret the game and, on the contrary, undetectable in his careers into space, fast in transitions, as was seen in a poorly defined play by Griezmann, alone in front of the goalkeeper after a precious assist from Pedri.

The canary was equally decisive in activating Messi, badly reduced by Nyom in the face of arbitration impunity and previously decisive in a shot to the right post by David Soria.

Barcelona's luck depended above all on Pedri.

De Jong's mistake

At 17, Pedri surprises with his maturity and ability to understand the game, agile and fast in his movements, delicate when he makes the inside passes and equally effective with his back to the goal, ready to dispute the ownership of Coutinho.

The exquisite maneuvers of Tenerife destabilized the powerful defense of Getafe and sustained the Barça team, unstable and vulnerable due to the permeability of the double pivot, an alternative that does not fit due to De Jong's discontinuity.

The Dutchman is an indecipherable and insubstantial midfielder, too accelerated, as if in a hurry to make up for lost time since arriving from Ajax.

He plays out of time and wants to anticipate so much that he causes confusing and clumsy plays like the penalty he committed against Djené.

The goal enlarged Getafe and shrunk Barça, irrelevant now without Pedro, substituted like Griezmann and Dembélé, the three players on whom the Barça game turned.

Koeman removed the bench to the bottom and returned Messi to his natural position of false 9. He found no remedy or resources for a match against an unpleasant rival who was able to clinch Cucho and balance Barça himself with a shot by Djené against Soria.

Nobody stopped Nyom, always physical, sometimes so street and intimidating that he came to challenge Koeman after running over the Barça forward.

In the slipstream of his defender, Getafe swept away Barça, reduced to the subtle Pedri.

The Barça game was summarized in the joy of the canary and the capitulation of Griezmann.
