Koeman is implementing personal marking at Barca but it’s not working out as well as he’d like.
Valencia opened the score at Camp Nou against Barcelona thanks to a header from Mouctar Diakhaby.
Antoine Griezmann was supposed to mark the visitors’ defender but Valencia’s movement inside the penalty box outsmarted him.
- As a result, Diakhaby was left alone inside the penalty box and had no problem sending the ball into the net.
- The real problem is that Barca went for personal marking at the corner instead of the more familiar zonal defending.
- Besides, Ronald Araujo and Jordi Alba were both marking the same player at the near post.
- Three out of the Catalans’ last four goals conceded in La Liga came after corner kicks.
