‘Foul to Guedes’: the reiteration of Barcelona when it is measured at Valencia

Dthe last matches. ‘Target Guedes’. On the bullseye. Go get him. Last month of May the players of the Barcelona they went to cut your game because they knew it was the only flash of Valencia. Then Lenglet, Araújo and Piqué took it with the Portuguese. They took turns at fouls and trying to get him out of the game. Especially at the beginning of the crash. The faults that are seen … and those that are not seen. It was the main obsession of Barcelona Koeman last season when Valencia was measured.

Then what seemed to be a flower of a day is not so. There is a sea in the background. There are reasons for this. The mission to stop a footballer, with fouls … and also with an ‘underground’ game. This time they have been Dest, Gavi, De Jong … those in charge of cutting off his concentration with fouls and actions of all kinds.

Guedes he was again the player who more fouls received at Barcelona-Valencia from Camp Nou. They did five. The one that marked the top. In the first 15 minutes he already added three (the same thing that happened in Valencia-Barcelona last May). And some that were not marked as such … One, by the way, very hard from Gavi, in the 15 ‘, which was about to cost him his exit from the field since he was touched. Barcelona tried to get him out of the game. It is the reference of Valencia. The player who gives you the spark in attack.

And it is not the first time that this circumstance has occurred. They changed roles (read, players) from game to game, but the goal was the same. That the Portuguese was as uncomfortable as possible on the grass.

Valencia carries nine games played this season of which Gonçalo Guedes has been the one that has received the most infractions on up to three occasions.
