Pending subject: Improve the defensive strategy and offensively

By aerial road have added decisive points that even decant leagues. Certainly, in the history of the FC Barcelona reflects that never it has been able to take advantage of the goodnesses of the kickoffs of corner in spite of having good strikers. But the lacking himself have served so that the giant '10', Lionel Messi, plant on the round and command it to fit almost always in the square of the rival archer.

However, now any of the two factors has resulted by what the directed by Ronald Koeman need replantear the strategy, as the only appearance that these take advantage of is the one of the penaltis, and no all.

A goal of 133 corners earned

Adding the 20 official parties contested up to now by the Barcelona group (14 of LaLiga and six of phase of groups of UEFA Champions League), have earned 133 kickoffs of corner. An average of 6,65 by meeting!, and only it has marked a goal by this road.

Carles Aleñá was the attendant to command the service to the heart of the area so that after a rebound, Braithwaite of left leg commanded the round at the end of the network and hanged the 0-2 in Kiev. Well it is true that, in Valladolid, the first goal of Lenglet originated by a corner, but sucedieron pair of played until the finish of the central French, therefore it is not possible to consider it like a played of this strategy.

The majority of the kickoffs of corner earn in short with the end to generate a second played, but this no surte effect. By his part, the rivals have harvested 73 corners, a short but effective figure, as they have annotated four so many by this road. Cádiz, Real Sociedad and Valencia have been the last in testing the honeys of the advantage thanks to this strategy, largely owing to defensive errors of the group culé.

In Champions also suffered in the heights, to the Dinamo of Kiev and to the Juventus of Turín cancelled them pair of goals of corner that had caused a worse vision in the statistics. The Ukrainians drowned the holy cry due to the fact that the balloon abandoned the lawn, whereas to the Italians sucedió by an illicit position of Leonardo Bonucci.

The faults neither have harvested goals

Messi is the cobrador of faults by excellence, like great proof 47 targets by this road with the Barcelona group, but this season has not seen light. It is innegable that has tried it, but ahead finds always with obstacles. His last so much of free shot was on 16 July, the last commitment of the past campaign in front of the Osasuna in the Camp Nou.

Lionel has looked for other options, has cost of the habilitation to find to Antoine Griezmann, the one who brushed the goal in two consecutive parties, in front of the Juventus in the Camp Nou, cabeceó to the crosshead and against the Raise, but Aitor deprived the effectiveness of the strategy with his intervention. In spite of the scarce efficiency of the Barça by the road of the faults, the rivals have not attained ocasionar greater damages using this same strategy.

The last effective resource: The penal

The only unemployed balloon to the that has taken him out benefit has been from the penal point, and no always. Of seven penal earned, the Barcelona has marked five. Griezmann Failed against the Betis and Messi in the last commitment, although the played finalised with a so much of head for the Flea that served him besides to surpass the historical record of the king Peeled. The '10' has transformed five: Villarreal, Ferencvaros, Juventus, Dinamo and Betis, Braithwaite one in front of the Dinamo and Dembélé one in front of the Ferencvaros.

Neither an alone unemployed have attained the archers culés. Neither Net, to the that marked him Kill (Getafe), Bouquets (Madrid) and Kharatin (Ferencvaros), and neither Marc-André Ter Stegen, to the one who 'CR7' demolished by double game in the Camp Nou. Five of five.

Koeman Changed the system, and worked

With a system of 3-4-2-1, the Barcelona goleó to domicile to the Valladolid (0-3) to conquer the fifth square in the classification of LaLiga with 24 points. It has not been easy, but the Barça has a lot that improve so much offensive like defensivamente. Koeman Understood that the replanteamiento of his system worked in front of a modest rival, now will have to be still in this line of change to pipe to the team to the victory.
