The Barça of this year is different to the previous one, due to many circumstances (different coach, other players, shorter squad), but still in line with the previous year. He won on the Flensburg track 21-25 (8-11), thus maintaining his streak in Germany (in Cologne he won the Champions League), the only team in the group that did it at home, and is placed leader of the B from the first day on a day of surprises, because the Kielce of Talant Dujshebaev fell on the track of Dinamo de Bucharest of Xavi Pascual, who with this victory reinforces the exazulgrana.
The triumph of the European champion was cemented in the rhythm of the match, as Carlos Ortega already advanced. He played with the relay strategy almost on the clock to keep his team fresh against an opponent who only fought with seven from the field and the goalkeeper, Buric and not Moller who did not even go to Gómez’s penalties.
Buric, in addition, was the one who sustained Flensburg with his saves in the ones against one that were sung as a goal. It is also true that Gonzalo Pérez’s performance was outstanding, although he had more collaboration from his teammates than his rival, because this year it seems that the Barça fans will have to be more involved as a group in this section.
The bad news was Cindric’s shoulder injury in the first half, and that left Makuc in evidence, still green because he has gone from being the fourth to being the second central; Mem and Richardson finished the game together thanks to their versatility. -AND. Ojeda
