Calendar of FC Barcelona

After a period of adaptation to the FC Barcelona, Philippe Coutinho is allocated to be a decisive footballer in the FC Barcelona. Since it arrived in January, the Brazilian midfield player showed that it treats of a special player, with a quality that does him be above the average and with a little usual impudence in a recently arrived.

The past month of January arrived like relief generacional of Andrés Iniesta in the position of left interior, but the planning of signings that has done for this summer can change the things. In fact, it will depend on the new incorporations the position that the Brazilian occupy in the terrain of game.

In the first place, it is necessary to take into account that Ernesto Valverde will recover with practically all security the 4-3-3 for the present season and also that, of the centre of the field to forward, there are four fixed players: Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic in the centre of the field and Leo Messi and Luis Suárez in the forward.

Coutinho Also will be a fixed, although it is for seeing if it will be it in the zone of the medullary or in positions more offensive. It is here where go in four important names in the equation: Osmane Dembélé, Malcom, Arturo Vidal and Arthur Melo. The one who more stand out of them will win a place in the eleven of gala of Ernesto Valverde and will displace to Coutinho to the centre of the field or to the forward

The conditionings of Coutinho

Logically, the conflict between the four above-mentioned names can do vary the position of Coutinho in function of the party or do it fixed definitively. For example: if Arturo Vidal or Arthur Melo have an exceptional performance in the medullary Barcelona, the new '7' of the FC Barcelona would happen to form the offensive trident beside Leo Messi and to Luis Suárez.

Nevertheless, it does not be necessary to neglect to the two men of band of the staff culé: Malcom and Ousmane Dembélé. If one of them achieves to explode, would finish forming attacker trident and would delay the position of Coutinho until the left interior, a more sacrificed position in defence but in which would have a more direct participation in the creation.
