It calls the attention that Arthur Melo, one of the new signings that better embodies the 'DNA Barça' taking into account the little that has seen him on the lawn, hardly was having of minutes of game in the FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Of the four new signings that landed this past summer in the FC Barcelona, Arturo Vidal and Clément Lenglet are up to now those who are having a greater leadership. Malcom -that it was the most expensive- hardly has achieved to go in in the announcements, whereas Arthur Melo is constant meat of bench, and besides has lost incidence in the rotation.

Valverde Prefers to bet before by other players that by a midfield player, Arthur, that by the little that has seen him on the terrains of game, is of the few current midfield players of the FC Barcelona that embody to 100% the 'DNA Barça', the style of game 'tiki-taka', of control and possession, that with Iniesta and Xavi took advantage of the Barça to dominate Europe.

It is clear that Arthur is not Xavi and much less Iniesta, and that still is missing him curtirse on the lawn to evolve like footballer and remove the place to any of the usual headlines of the Barça in the centre of the field. However, equally true is that the Brazilian is losing some very valuable opportunities in this beginning of season.

Valverde Too has not given him too much ball in the rotations -when it has decided to carry them out-, and perhaps one of the keys of the improvement in the game of the FC Barcelona would go through to begin to bet by players like Arthur and Rafinha, that could contribute this necessary dynamism in the centre of the field, with the capacity to conserve the possession, the control of the game and also desequilibrar in punctual moments.

The creative players of the Barça, in the bench

By in front of Arthur, Rafinha, Denis, Aleñá and Samper finds for now Arturo Vidal, a midfield player much more bregador, of a more seemed style to the Paulinho that had the past campaign the FC Barcelona, and that seems that it treats of the profile that prefers the 'Txingurri' to try look for balance, in spite of having usually to Rakitic and Busquets on the lawn.

The FC Barcelona loses capacity of creation, control and possession with Arturo Vidal to the detriment of with other players, but wins more qualities in the recovery of balloon -in theory- and more muscle. For the moment, in any case, the last results do not argue the decision of Valverde. And, in the meantime, Arthur expects his opportunity in the bench... Until when?
