Ernesto Valverde: Barcelona is not experiencing a crisis!

Barcelona coach, Ernesto Valverde, dismissed rumors that the team is currently in a crisis phase. According to him, a negative trend is something that is common in the world of football.

Last weekend, Barcelona was surprisingly subdued by the sale of the team's headquarters, Granada. Azulgrana's defeat failed to win a victory in his eight away games in all competitions.

This also makes Barcelona fall to eighth. Four points behind Athletic Bilbao at the top. A negative note is that Lionel Messi et al are needed to get full points from matches against Villarreal and Getafe this weekend.

"Crisis? This is what the world of football is. Every club will have a crisis every three days. After that, they will come back to win. This is what we have to do in the game," Ernesto Valverde was quoted as saying on the Reuters website.

"The only way to stop Barcelona's negative trends at the moment is to reach six points from our two matches this week (against Villarreal and Getafe)," Valverde added.

Barcelona vs Villarreal on the left the next day, Valverde decided not to bear the name Ivan Rakitic. "Rakitic was not injured. We did not bring Rakitic because he had many choices in midfield," Valverde said.
