Like this it will be the diagram that will use Valverde the next season

Antoine Griezmann opted finally refuse the proposal of the FC Barcelona and accept the one of the Athletic of Madrid. The club rojiblanco offered him a quite upper wage to the that had perceived in the Catalan entity and, besides, received the promise that it would mount him a team to the height to compete by all the titles.

The decision of the French forward will have big repercussion in the style of game of the FC Barcelona of face to the next season. Ernesto Valverde, with the arrival of Griezmann, had recovered the 4-3-3 that characterised to the group culé along the years of Pep Guardiola and later, with Luis Enrique in the bench and the trident formed by Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and the 'fugado' Neymar.

However, the idea of Ernesto Valverde after the frustrated signing of crashes it gala is to go back to the 4-4-2 that so good results has given him in the present season. Playing with this tactical drawing, the FC Barcelona has obtained the 'doublet' and remained without Champions League by a bad night, since during the rest of competition the team answered. 

In this sense, has foreseen that the couple formed by Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets keep on being intocable in the double pivote of the Txingurri. Another of the positions in which there are not doubts will be the one of left interior: if before it occupied it Andrés Iniesta, this season will be property of Philippe Coutinho.

The medullary would complete with a new signing: a midfield player would situate like right interior, in a position something less advanced that the one of Philippe Coutinho, to help to give fluidity to the exit of balloon from backwards and to that the circulation of ball was more effective. The Barça will do without a so direct game as it had been able to see with Griezmann and will recover the essence of the patient game and of possession.

The signing of the Barça

The FC Barcelona works to find to this fourth midfield player that give solidity and quality to the team. Names like the ones of Miralem Pjanic, Thiago Alcántara or Adrien Rabiot are in first line, without forgetting the one of Arthur Melo. The player that arrive to the Camp Bou will have to litigate by a place in the team title with other players like Ousmane Dembélé or Paulinho, that want to add leadership.
