Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona will have to see the faces with Paris Saint-Germain from fourteen February 2017, in the gone of the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League 2016-2017. Although they still are missing two months so that both teams see the faces, are varied the points that can analyse of the rival of the Barcelona team.

To start with, in the footpath finds all an old known as it is Unai Emery. The technician of Barakaldo heads to a team that is in full process of construction, adapting to all a new philosophy and methodology of game. Key players like Ángel gave Maria, Marco Verratti or Javier Pastore have not started well the course. Thus they go third in Tie it 1 and have remained second of his group of Champions, after empatar to two with the Ludogorets in the last meeting home. 

These are the four more important points of the PSG

A team in process of adaptation to Emery

Emery Arrived the past summer and put headed by a team that has contested meetings with big brilliance and other duels where have gone down a lot his level. Far to adapt and not touching at all of the team that had left Laurent Blanc, Emery bet for incorporating all the things that have carried him to the highest with the Seville FC in the Europe League. A rocky team, with a high pressure and a lot of tactical possibilities. With an exit "lavolpiana", changing his traditional 4-4-2 to 3-4-3 in transition of defence-attack.

All they are tactical concepts that a lot of players need still know much better and be habituados to this. Something that if all goes by the correct course, already will have been able to happen next February. Confronting the Barça, therefore, to a very dangerous rival.

The magic puts it Lucas Moura and little more

In spite of having players of a lot of quality as they can be Ángel gave Maria, Marco Verratti or Javier Pastore, at least in this beginning of course the magic puts it only a man. The Brazilian Lucas Moura is the one who better has understood the new characteristics of the PSG, being the most stood out until the moment.

Moura Accumulates five goals this course and his titularity in the extreme is safe. To difference, for example, of Javier Pastore whose physical fragility penalises to the team. Verratti, by his part, is not having his best start of course as neither Ángel gave Maria, that does not finish to adapt to the French football. Of the state of these players will depend that the PSG can hurt him to the Barça or no.

The centre of the field, hard core of the team

Where roots the main power of the instrument Frenchman is in his centre of the field. To the appointed previously (Verratti, Gave Maria, Pastore and Moura) it is necessary to add to the incombustible Thiago Motta, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Blaise Matuidi and Rabiot are some of the cracks that the French have in his hard core.

Although they control already to perfection the attack in static, with the ex Barcelona Motta monopolising the ball, still is missing them for deploying offensive power that it could arrive with the signing of Julian Draxler, very near of Paris. The Barça will have here one of the main points of the eliminatory, know manacle the centre of the field of the Frenchmen will give the final victory.

Without Ibrahimovic yes there is paraiso... For Cavani

It carried time Edinson Cavani complaining of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his excess of leadership in every aspect of the club. Thus, and although big part of the fans and of the entity cried the exit of the Swedish genius, Cavani celebrated it. It was his moment and was not had to lose it. Analysed the data say that it has done it, going out to goal by party (fourteen so many in fourteen parties of League, and six of six in Champions). However, the feelings are rather distinct.

The Uruguayan attacker is used to to exasperate to the local parish with his parties. The forward fails two occasions and average by party according to "WhoScored", this course. By the attacker happen all the played offensives of the team, what does that it was cause and effect of the goods and evils of the team. "When it does not mark, the things do not leave well and when it does it neither", said does weeks the Parisian president Nasser To the-Khelaifi when being asked after he. And it is that to the backs of Cavani is the desert... And in front his the paradise.
