Thread: Reasons why Barcelona struggled against Rayo Vallecano with Iraola tactics.
Andoni Iraola was one of my favourite coaches last season, due to his variety and solid tactics, especially in counter-pressing and medium press.
Let's see 👇
-Iraola relied on 4-4-2 flat, with medium pressing, every option to pass in Barcelona build-up marked by a player from Rayo.
-2 vs 1, the situation which happened when Gavi, received the ball, repeated a lot in the middle third, with well-positioned from Rayo players and cover the passing options
Isi is a fantastic player! And Iraola destined to coach a top 6 LaLiga team (or, more probably, Athletic Bilbao). The work rate of their 2 forwards, harassing the 2 CBs + Busquets, is immense. Also how fast they track back & stay compact if that 1st line is bypassed. #barcaRayo
Incredible high pressure from Rayo. Intense & effective. Needs Frenkie's conducción or Ter Stegen holding onto the ball a bit longer and attracting the press or advancing with it out of the box and pushing the team block higher. #barcaRayo #HT
If the fullbacks perform at the level we're seeing today for the rest of the season, pretty sure the context may force Xavi to switch to a back 3....
