The encounter between Barcelona and Real Madrid is always the most anticipated sports event in the season, especially when it will greatly affect the race on La Liga rankings. However, before this important match, “Los Blancos” is facing some worrying issues, especially the fatigue of the players after the tense schedule.
After important matches in La Liga and the Champions League, the Catalan team did not have enough time to recover physically. The painful defeat Inter Milan in the middle of the week is a typical example of the players who had to play too hard.
After the match, although “Los Blaugrana” did not record any serious injury, however, the fatigue of players like Inigo Martinez, Pedri and Gerard Martin was relatively clear.
Barcelona still has the advantage in the race to the championship, but any mistake in the El Clasico match with Real Madrid can cause great trouble for the team currently leading on the La Liga charts.
In the context of increasing fatigue, confronting “Los Blancos”, the team with high intense play, will be a significant challenge for Hansi Flick’s teachers and students. The German strategist is concerned that Barcelona players may not be able to maintain the necessary physical strength to compete in the upcoming match.
Besides, the absence of some pillars also weakens the Barcelona squad. Names like Jules Kounte, Marc Bernal and Dani Rodriguez will not be able to participate in this important match due to injury.
Fortunately, some players like Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde are said to be able to recover, although, the absence of key factors is still a worrying factor for Hansi Flick’s teachers and students.
However, Barcelona has repeatedly proved the ability to overcome past difficulties. Although the current fatigue can affect performance, the Catalan team can still create surprises if maintaining concentration and determination.
“Los Blaugrana” has faced a tense and difficult schedule but always knows how to overcome. The biggest problem today is the ability to manage each player’s duration in the upcoming matches.
The upcoming El Clasico will be a difficult challenge for Barcelona. However, with the determination and careful preparation, the Montjuic team can completely maintain good performance to think about defeating Real Madrid.
The problem is, can “Los Blaugrana” be overcome tired and absent issues to continue the championship race? Time will answer the doubts of fans of this team.
