The system is not the problem at Barcelona – Jordi Alba

Jordi Alba believes Ronald Koeman’s system is not the reason for Barcelona’s poor run of form.

The Catalan giants earned three points against Levante which ended a run of two straight defeats.

Alba believes his team was better defensively and insisted that they needed Lionel Messi who scored the only goal of the game.

“Defensively, we were much much better than in other games and we created chances in attack. In the end we scored one of them and got three points. We played well and showed responsibility.

“We feel good. I don’t think the system is a problem. We are still playing the same way. In this game, we played with more freedom in the middle. We have to adapt to the game because all teams play in different ways. So it depends on the opponent, what the coach wants.

“We have dropped points shouldn’t have but the league is open. This year, different teams are up there and it’s important for the level in the league, there’s a good level in the league, and we are trying to stay up the top.”
