Barcelona ugly trend

Barcelona ugly trend at the beginning of this year continues. Once again, at home, Carles Puyol et al failed to reap victory. After being held 1-1 draw with Villarreal in the Primera Liga arena (3 / 1), 1-2 Barca surrender even in the hands of Sevilla in the first leg last 16 of the Copa del Rey yesterday morning (6 / 1). Last season's champions had failed to defend the title at risk.

The defeat was caused question marks. Because, Barca look virtually full team. Andres Iniesta who had doubted his condition can also appear. Similarly derived Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the second half. Practically, only Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure are absent due to defend his country at the African Cup.

In contrast, Sevilla squad holes here and there. Recorded, Sevilla 11 regular players can not play. Frederic Kanoute including Luis Fabiano, Adriano, and Sebastien Squilacci.

In fact, it was the guests who made it out of the pressure and scored first. Namely, through Diego Capel in the 60th minute. Ibrahimovic had equalized through a counter attack in the 75th minute.

However, Alvaro Negredo ensure the visitors victory after only a minute after the goal by Ibra spot. Sevilla a penalty awarded after Capel was dropped on the forbidden box.

"The results of this game shows that Seville is not only 11 people. We've got 24 players who will fight for them to win," said Negredo, as quoted by the Associated Press.

Barca actually looked more fresh than when being held 1-1 draw with Villarreal in the Primera Liga arena (3 / 1). Until the first half hour game, they kept pressing. Two golden opportunities created by Lionel Messi. Also earned one occasion Daniel Alves. However, all failed to fruition a goal.

Barca Entrenador Josep Guardiola said the wrong squad for the match this time. Ibrahimovic, for example, should be revealed early. Likewise, Xavi and Gerard Pique.

"It's my fault," I Guardiola in the official press conference as quoted Goal. Guardiola's rotation does not aim to maintain the stamina players. But only for the club situation remains conducive. Guardiola dared to do so because Seville is also not in the best condition.

"I rotate the players because it's my job. At least until the club president (Joan Laporta, Red) to fire me. I make changes to keep the locker room to stay healthy," said Guardiola. "All players must want to perform. I must fulfill it because we needed them," he said.

Well, the mistake has now become a major problem because Barca had been lost. In fact, last season he made the same mistake and there's nothing to criticize. "Since that time we win. Actually, the case is the same," said Pep.

Thanks to the victory, the opportunity to drive Seville to the quarter finals greater. In addition to winning a goal, it is their turn next week to act as host. However, it does not make camp Sevilla quiet.

"We just made it through half the road. Still half way back to the quarter-finals," says Manolo Jimenez, Sevilla entrenador, as quoted Goal. "We played against the strongest teams in the world. Although our conditions are more favorable, still does not mean anything. Against Barcelona, we can not relax yet," he continued.

Jimenez could understand why Manchester City made a mistake rotation. However, what actually happens is Barcelona unable to maintain consistency in the three competitions at once. Well, he's using these weaknesses.

"They do have to optimize all the players. Rotation is important, but not like that," Jimenez criticism
