Defending champion Barcelona trying to rise from adversity after failing to win in the last two games at home to Osasuna in La Liga matches continued on Sunday (09/18) morning later.
In this week, Barca look bad, especially in the defense sector. Barca twice waste the opportunity to win and had to settle were held 2-2 by Real Sociedad and AC Milan. Two draws criticism for leaving the Barca defense.
Homework for Barca coach Josep Guardiola is to improve their defense. Two defensive midfielders Javier Mascherano and Sergio Busquets who played as a defender of emergency disappointing against Milan. Fortunately for the fight against Osasuna, Carles Puyol was able to down by Guardiola. Gerard Pique was still questionable because it is still recovering from a calf injury.
On paper, Osasuna should not present difficulty for Barca. However, Pep Guardiola's squad should remain vigilant and must not be underestimated. Because the Pamplona club has never lost the first two games in La Liga and only conceded once. The player who deserves more attention from the defense line was none other than Los Azulgrana nimble wing, Juan "Nino" Martinez. This player has a typical game is almost the same as Lionel Messi.
In addition, there is also captain of Iran Javad Nekounam and Francisco Puñal, as well as a duet attacker Alvaro Kike Sola and Cejudo is ready to steal the points at home to Barca. They really hope the memory of 2009 will happen again, at which time Osasuna a 1-0 win over Barca single goal by Walter Pandiani.
