Ivan Rakitic or Paulinho? Blessed problem for Valverde

After some years with problems to fit to his incorporations, the FC Barcelona seems to have aimed some tarpaulins in the market. The recently arrived no only are helping to the staff, but they begin to bid for doing a gap in the eleven headline. One of them is Paulinho, whose performance is so atypical like promising.

With Sergio Busquets and Andrés Iniesta with the poster of indisputable, and although Ivan Rakitic definitely also is it, the Brazilian fits better in the profile of llegador that fulfils the Croat, by what begins to value that if some piece jumps he will be the elected. The one of Sao Paulo has demolished the doubts to base of effort, and now could receive more minutes to follow increasing his numbers.

In 212 minutes Paulinho carries two goals and an assistance, whereas his mate has added a so much and two definite passes in 802. It is evident that the scales is something descompensada, but also is it that the experience in the system and the tactical security of the ex of the Seville are a value to take into account.

With a profile something more creative that physical, Rakitic has better values in his tarpaulin pasador, in recoveries, in touch of balloon and in intercepciones, although the Brazilian has not remained backwards. For parties of maximum requirement Valverde could opt until for combining them to give him consistency to the centre of the field and help to Busquets, by what his competition, in any case, is beneficial for the Barça.

Sergi Roberto does not surrender

Although it does not have for the moment reasons to protest, Sergi Roberto wants to win a place in the eleven headline and do it like midfield player, the one who to end of accounts is his natural position. The one of Reus is accumulating minutes like player more polyvalent for Ernesto Valverde, but aspires to steal him the place to one of the indisputable in the medullary. The Txingurri has a lot of alternatives.
