Barça’s coach Frank Rijkaard feels his squad is back on course after watching them bounce back from successive defeats with a second win in a row. Indeed, the latest in a 3-0 win over Recreativo Huelva at the Nou Camp has tremendously boosted the players’ morale and offered fresh impetus of a title-winning season. We must say that the comfortable triumph on Saturday, secured courtesy of a Ronaldinho brace and a strike by Xavi, kept Barca top of the Primera Liga table, two points clear of rivals Real Madrid who are third. Despite those arguments, for Rijkaard, it will have restored the badly-needed confidence in the team after defeats against Chelsea and Real Madrid in the space of a week. They defeated Badalona 2-1 in midweek in the Copa del Rey but the convincing win over Recreativo would have provided the Catalan giants with a much-needed fillip ahead of their crucial Champions League tie against Chelsea tomorrow. “I have seen an important improvement in the team and we must continue working in this way,” Rijkaard expressed after the match.
