Many affirm that it is boring, that does not have idea of game or that does not win in big squares, but Ernesto Valverde follows showing that his Barça is very solvent. With a marked Barcelona style, but with a lot of job, his team is imparable
It arrived to the Camp Nou with some doubts, questioned after taking the reins of one of the big and with the losa of a dangerous market of signings, but Ernesto Valverde has showed that his FC Barcelona is a guarantee. Still it is looking for to himself same, but the Tingurri has left clear that his is a team with capital letters, and that from the thump of the Supercopa has changed a lot.
With Pep Guardiola doing the delights of the Premier League and the vertiginous football of Luis Enrique descartado after the course of Neymar, the extremeño has printed his character to a group that does not forget of his roots but has gone back much more practical. Already it said it Xavi, "this Barça has the 'Barcelona DNA'", but instead of a global concept, as the one who preaches the one of Santpedor, resolves his problems one to one.
Instead of imposing an only style, the machine that has created Valverde looks for solutions for all the puzzles, reading the parties to perfection and marking the times before taking decisions. The technician has inculcado to his pupilos that it is necessary to know defend to be able to go with security to by the goals, that yes are the final aim, but no by the expense of teaching the shames as it has occurred in the last times.
A lot of faces
When it treats to build throws in lacking wands like which use Leo Messi or Andrés Iniesta, but without having tackled still the signings and with Philippe Coutinho in wait, handles well with what there is. It has converted to Paulinho in a so surprising weapon like effective, and does not fit to forget that it has done it with the drop of the most expensive player of the history of the club.
This is a Barça that defends, attacks, dominates and leaves dominate, and to the that does not matter him leave bark if at the end it can bite with the step of the minutes. And if no that they say it to him to a Zidane that it bet it all to the first time of the Classical and finish ahogandose in the demarraje culé in the second. "We have achieved to exceed the pressure of the Madrid", explained Valverde after the duel. His team analyses, acts and hammers. And it works him.
