An exercise in subversion by Dembélé saves Barcelona in Linares

Win and forget.

There is no other.

This Barcelona that could not even get away from the agony in its confrontation against the humble Linares, a team of the First RFEF, saved as best it could its access to the eighth of the Copa del Rey.

For this he had to overcome a goal against, rely on a subversion exercise by

, and thank proud young people like

for always denying surrender.

[Narration and statistics]

In front of the publicity of Bar Los Jamones and before

and

, two footballers who were actually specters, Linares plotted their rebellion.

, the local idol, a player who seven months ago had to be revived on an ICU stretcher after suffering a stroke in his lung, crossed like the angels.

Without any opposition.

Riqui and Alba preferred to petrify themselves, with the carefree air of someone who feeds the pigeons.

The ball reached

because

, who was the one who had to take care of the brand, he did not even know where the forward was going to surpass him.

In front.

Behind.

What difference does it make.

The 1-0 was nothing more than the consequence, not only of fatality, but of collective clumsiness.

It was difficult for the Catalans to interpret the game idea hatched by

. The plan served to reach the rival baseline on the flanks, but without the possibility of finishing the plays.

, who started second was in an official match with Barcelona at 38 years old, started from the right inside at 3-4-3.

, the most clairvoyant, took over the position of midfielder, with Riqui Puig on his left. And in attack, Jordi Alba had to act as a left-handed winger, with Jutglà as striker and

on the other side.

It did not work.

To a large extent due to the lack of delicacy shown by Barcelona in interior areas, where Riqui Puig perhaps lost his great opportunity to show that he deserves a place in this team.

The small midfielder, always conditioned by the expectation and promise of a splendid future, has been playing modestly.

He asks for the ball at the foot, avoids the risk in the passes, and his bad positioning ends up costing him a good number of losses.

Xavi Hernández no longer allowed him to continue after the break.

It was not a way of pointing it out, but of seeking some sanity.

And Barça, who had only sensed real danger in the domain of goalkeeper

at that dawn in which Araujo finished off one of the corners thrown by Alves, chose to surrender to the verticality and the constant hammer blow.

Xavi saw the stage so ugly that he already started the second half with

- substitute for the bruised

-,

- who also ended up injured - and the savior Dembélé. They were the three players to whom the coach had granted a break from the start.

's Linares

, who was already carrying a tremendous physical effort, denied his fatigue as much as he could. He even tried to throw intimidating counterattacks, aware of both Barça's null structural reliability and the dark opposition of goalkeeper

. But the one who could not control Linares was Dembélé, who must have understood that a good performance in a round of 16 of the Cup could serve to vindicate that generous contract he is pursuing. This time he complied. He smashed a ball over the crossbar in one of those forays in which he tricks with genius and, above all, scored the tying goal. He was able to thank both his shot with his left foot from the top of the area and Razak, essential for the ball to reach the net.

Across the ocean, Neto's extravagant defense of the goal allowed

to sing a 2-1 that was not.

The Brazilian goalkeeper went so far back that the ball ended up bouncing off his belly before passing him.

He dodged the mockery because right in front he had Hugo Díaz offside, which invalidated the action.

Jutglà responded to the shock, that striker with a hard look and efficient manners who achieved the Barça winning goal 20 minutes from the end thanks to an advance on the left that he knew how to crown, after cutting, with the right boot.

This Barcelona in which the presence of Dani Alves forces suspicion, in which Dembélé seems an indispensable type, and in which teenagers are the ones who drag the Titanic, even in propitious territories like Linares, avoiding suffering still seems a complicated task .
