They say that the comparisons are odiosas and that in the football the different periods would not have to be related as the evolution of the sport changes it everything year after year. But yes it can do a small review of punctual situations -in this case positions-. Samuel Umtiti and Gerard Hammered have strengthened in the saga of the Barcelona and in 'FCBN' ask: it is the best couple of always?
The first answer has to be that no. In the first place because hardly they carry a together season and follow knowing. Second, because along the history there have been couples of head offices really flawless in the Barcelona club: Puyol-Márquez, Alexanco-Migueli, Abelardo-Of Boer... And many more than could go escudriñando.
Puyol-Márquez was a tandem sensacional. One had power, anger, character, pundonor and speed (Puyol). The another was placing, elegance, technical and good exit of balloon (Márquez). compenetraban To perfection and Guardiola knew that it could explain blindly. Pity that the Mexican always was asolado by the injuries.
Quite a lot of years further back find to Alexanco and Migueli, two myths of the barcelonismo. The first was a left-handed limited technically but with good aerial game. The second, a beast parda to physical level. Those that saw him in his period relate that it was harder that Puyol -so that they do an idea-.
I hammered and Umtiti look for now consolidate together -have several years by in front to do it-. The Catalan has lost speed, but his experience allows him be remarkable in the placing, his height does him dominate the aerial game and his passion by the colours do the rest. The French is a prodigio of the nature and the solidity done player.
Umtiti, a safe of life
In depth can speak of Umtiti, a footballer that arrived to the Camp Nou practically of unknown form for the big public. And that already in his first year won to the public by his intensity backwards. It has adapted well to the Barcelona philosophy and has all a career by in front.
They can be the best couple of head offices of the Barça of the history? Only the time and the results will say it, but of course have ballots to be here up. They understand and they can be long here.
