FC Barcelona Atletic -2, Elche - 0
FC Barcelona Atletic boys recovered well from their last weeks 5-1 defeat with a good 2-1 victory at the Mini Estadi. I streamed the entire match and have to admit that I have been very pleased by the movements of our lads. Everyone of them looks absolutely incredible with the ball and at times going forward and they resembled the first team especially in attack. Yup, there are some defensive fragilities and that needs to be looked upon by Luis Enrique. But the defenders ususally improve with age and the young age of his defenders could be a huge factor for Luis Enrique. Coming Back to the match, goals from jonathan Soriano and Nolito helped Barca B to a comfortable 2-0 cictory. Elche had their chances but didn't take any of them. They looked a decent threat especially in air but their fisnishing was very poor. Barca B had the bulk share of possession, like their seniors. But it took sometimes for the lads to get the attack going well. The first goal came from a Jonathan Soriano header after his earlier stunning attempt was thwarted by the goal keeper. He looks like a decent presence in the box and at 24 is one of the oldest in the squad. Jonathan Dos Santos looked good at times especially with his distribution. But his final ball has been a touch heavy at many times. I am seriously started to like Muniesa. He resmbles Puyol in many aspect, especially the way he goes in for challenges. The team looks pretty well tuned and looks good to hang onto the league.
