Arthur Melo follows contributing security to the centre of the field

Arthur Melo, in spite of that began without too many opportunities in the team, has done a gap like titling indisputable and has jumped of start the last parties of League and Champions League. The confidence that has awarded him Ernesto Valverde in the last weeks has gone renewing thanks to the big performance of the player.

In front of the Athletic of Madrid, the Brazilian midfield player went back to give a class of serenity and security with the balloon in the feet. His command on each situation does that his mates always see in him an option of pass, something of what the team benefits increasing his control on the game.

It is true that, in the first time of the party in Wanda Metropolitan, Arthur committed an important error when losing the balloon in a dangerous zone that could mean an occasion of danger for the Athletic of Madrid, but the Brazilian showed personality and did not crease in back actions. It followed playing faithful to his style, without complexes.

In the second time, with the Athletic of Madrid by on in the marker, Arthur was substituted by Ousmane Dembélé, since the party needed to agitate with less control and more dynamism and desborde, but there is not doubt that the ex of the Guild of Carry Cheerful is being one of the players that more enamora to the barcelonismo, especially by his style of game.

His form to handle the balloon remembers to Xavi Hernández, a comparison to which is being subjected in the last weeks. The true is that it seems a custom-made footballer for the Catalan club, since it dominates all the classical facets of the midfield players of the Masia: the control, the pass to the first touch, the driving, the vision of game...

The weak point of Arthur

Until the moment, only there is a blackhead in the game of Arthur: the difficulties that has when the party turns into a correcalles. The meetings of gone and turn do not benefit him since, in spite of that has tactical anticipation to recover balloons, costs him a lot back in front of the contragolpes rival. Anybody is perfect.
