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
-Rayo prevented Barca from vertical progression to the middle third easily, with cover pass lanes.
-For example, that vertical pass, from Christensen to Gavi, turned into an attack on Barcelona due to a 2v1 situation.
-Kessie struggled in the build-up phase, due to direct press
