Objective: Win Three Games In A Row

Koeman's Barçathey have been unable, so far, to win three consecutive league games. His three best 'mini streaks' are two wins: at the beginning of the championship (he beat Villarreal 4-0 and Celta 0-3, but he already 'punched' against Sevilla with a draw at one at the Camp Nou), mid-December (they beat Levante 1-0 and Real Sociedad 2-1, but were stopped by 2-2 against Valencia) and now with the start of the new year, with two away wins (0-1 against Huesca and 2-3 against Athletic). If the Blaugrana team wants to have any option, even if it is minimal, to continue dreaming of the title, they must continue adding three at a time. A draw, at the moment, is a defeat. That is why this afternoon in Granada, with the storm Filomena threatening freezing temperatures, Barça are obliged to add their first winning triplet of the season. Win, win and win ... to win again, as the legendary saidLuis Aragonés .

The green shoots of San Mamés will be of no use if they are not confirmed with a victory in Los Cármenes. The extraordinary Blaugrana performance against Athletic, including a comeback, led by the 'duo' formed by Messi and Pedri , is synonymous with hope. Playing as it was played against the Basques, anything is possible. It has been shown that Barça's room for improvement is very large. And it seems that Koeman and the footballers have finally found their way. Which is none other than recovering the style and tactical drawing: a 4-3-3 with a lot of mobility. Messi is happy again, Pedri has become his best partner, Dembéléis offering his best version and De Jong begins to resemble the star who signed from Ajax. The work done in the last four months is beginning to pay off. Slowly. But it is essential to solidify the foundations of this improvement. And the best way to do it is with victories.
