The Barça, an effective team in the last phase of attack

From it does years the game of the Barcelona has stood out for being tremendously asociativo. Although with Luis Enrique saw atisbos of a transformation to the counterattack like first weapon, the Barcelona group follows preferring the option to touch with patience -also because the defences close from the first minute-. And this finish wearing out to the rivals.

It is usual to see during the warmings before the parties to the players doing a rondo. The speed in the short distances, as well as the precision in the passes, is fundamental for afterwards can be effective in the party. Of the contrary, the previsibilidad puts it to him simpler to the defences. And the Barça has showed in this start of League that has not lost neither an apex of his DNA.

Thanks to the account of Twitter @FutbolAvanzado can analyse several statistics of the two first days of League. One of them, the one of the percentage of effectiveness of passes in the last 30 metres of attack. The Barça heads the ranking with a sensacional 79,17% of effectiveness. That is to say, almost 8 of each 10 passes that do in the last third of field -attacking- make properly.

This figure, to tenor of how the defences joint in front of the Barça, has an enormous merit. Claro that helps to have to players like Messi, Iniesta, Rakitic or Busquets that read well the played and are used to to have very high percentages in the passes. In second position appears the Madrid with 77,62%.

The Athletic of Madrid, way down below

Analysing the numbers can see that the Real Sociedad is a team that mima well the balloon, as well as the Betis of Setién or the Celtic of Unzué. All, teams that try to imitate the style culé. And in the ranking find way down below -put 17- to the Athletic of Simeone, that does not arrive to 60%. The reason is simple: a lot of his offensive game bases in the centres from the band.
