It did four months that Paulinho did not see goal with the T-shirt of the FC Barcelona, but this Wednesday put end to his bad series. The Brazilian midfield player collected an assistance of Lucas Digne, in the interior of the small area, to send the balloon at first at the end of the goal of Sergio Asenjo, after having freed of his mark.
Andrés Iniesta was the one who generated the played with a pass filtered to the interior of the area for the confined of Lucas Digne, the one who emulated to Jordi Alba with his good assistance to Paulinho. We remember that the Brazilian turned into the 'covered' of the FC Barcelona during the first months of the season, showing a big level of game and a flawless physical state to his arrival, taking into account that just before arriving found to half season with the Guangzhou.
In this last third of course with the FC Barcelona, however, Paulinho Bezerra had gone down slightly his competitive level, surely to the not being accustomed to play so many parties of similar physical requirement in comparison with the last campaigns that contested in China. Although it neither is one of his main functions when it touches him dress of short in the Barça, sure that Paulinho will appreciate to have marked this Wednesday in front of the Villarreal, the one who already is his ninth goal this season 2017-18 in LaLiga.
The criticisms that received does some weeks, in this sense, were unfair. Paulinho Is an important player in the plans of the 'Txingurri', and in front of the Villarreal went back to complete this Wednesday a good performance, leaving clear that always leaves the skin when it touches him play.
Paulinho, always important for Valverde
In addition to the target lumbered with to the Villarreal, Paulinho worked with diligence in the centre of the field, distributing the game, stealing balloons and cutting intentonas of contragolpe of the 'yellow submarine', being almost in position always perpendicular to Busquets.
Of face to the next season 2017-18, Ernesto Valverde will continue having he in his alignments, although the titularity will be expensive, as always. Arthur Melo could land in the team in summer, whereas Aleñá also will happen to have index card of the first team.
