Lamin Jamal and Lewandowski carry out Flick’s plan

Flick has an idea and his team follows it to death.. And if on top of that he has two talents like Lamine Jamal and Lewandowski in attack to complete it, we must continue to agree with the Blaugrana coach who beat Athletic 2-1 in a very good game for Barcelona fans, which, as happened on the first day, they showed that In the second half they are physically superior to their opponents. Barça, without all their fundamental ingredients yet, are a fantastic team made up of believers who never give up.

Unlike what happens in prison dramas in movies, This time, the phone didn’t ring at the last minute with the governor’s plea for clemency for the prisoner. No one from La Liga headquarters called, and Dani Olmo continued along the green mile, waiting to register.

On the other hand, in Athletics Valverde named Nico Williams in the starting line-up for the first time. but the most striking novelty in the attack was the positioning of his brother Iñaki up top to the detriment of Guruzete. Valverde made it clear that he was going to run to Montjuic.

Flick at Barcelona transferred ownership to Pedribut not to put him behind Lewandowski, but to put him in Casado’s position next to Bernal, position that affected his playing, and at first he hardly participated in the game. Then he gave a solo concert. In the attack line, the German followed the same scheme as in the match against Valencia.

Barcelona started the game with an advantage, but did not feel comfortable on the field, and the scenario indicated what Ernesto Valverde was looking for. The great weapon of the local team was Lamine Jamal in a very funny duel with his friend Niko, who had to transform into a defender to help the team. Yuri, the marker of the young Blaugrana player, who could barely stop the young Blaugrana talent due to fouls.

Lamin Yamal struck the first shot of the game in the 24th minute when he collected a rebound from the Basque defence, moved to the edge of the penalty area and He unleashed an unstoppable strike on Padilla, although Lecue parried it as he tried to block the ball.

When Barcelona were leading, Flick’s team came very close to a second goal in several quick counter-attacks, always initiated by Marc Bernal and Lamine Jamal, who was becoming more and more confident in the game. His superb performance ended with Lewandowski’s shot hitting the post just before Barcelona made a youthful defensive error..

Kubarsi knocked down Berenguer after a backheel from Nico that caused Baldé to slip. A clear penalty that Gil Manzano did not see in the first place and allowed the game to continue, which ended with another possible penalty against Lewandowski at Athletic. Called for consultation from the VOR room, the referee rewound the ball and pointed to the original penalty, which Sanse converted.

With the score 1-1 at half-time and the stadium furious with the referee, there was still the first half left, in which, in the stifling heat, the reinforcements who came on had a lot to say.

Barcelona came out of the restart putting a lot of pressure on a much more composed Athletic. He had a lot to do with itR. Pedri, who took the reins of power into his own hands, and Padilla began to suffer. Lewandowski headed the post in the 57th minute, forced the Basque goalkeeper into a huge save in the 64th minute, and 10 minutes later he finally fired at Athletic, chasing a loose ball in the penalty area behind another genius, Pedri, who by then had collaborated with Fermin.

Barcelona finished the game with a sense of superiority that was a far cry from the games they had recently won by the narrowest of margins.Only a few minutes left. Instead of arming themselves on their own territory, the Blaugrana continue to put on a show. physical tone that is the result of the idea that artists realize.
