Neymar Jr Did the cases course to Paris Saint-Germain to finals of the month of July, and since the tactical diagram of the FC Barcelona, and especially the mobility and placing of the footballers in attack, has varied ostensiblemente in almost each party, testing Ernesto Valverde all the combinations habidas and for having to find the best offensive performance.

The reality is that, if something has found Valverde with his changes in said flank, has been the potenciamiento of the performance goleador of Leo Messi, the one who already has transformed eleven goals between LaLiga and the Champions League. However, still lacking for adapting to Luis Suárez so that it seats of the all comfortable in the new offensive organisation, as well as to a companion of guarantees.

Sergi Roberto, Gerard Deulofeu, Denis Suárez, Ousmane Dembélé, Aleix Vidal and even André Gomes have become the companions of Messi and Suárez in the flank of attack, without that any of them have stood out especially although yes they have made good performances in some isolated parties, as well as when it has touched them go out from the bench.

To level of feelings, however, is another thing. Valverde And big part of the barcelonismo still do not have the feeling that it have found a fluent dynamics and apabullante in attack, and by this reason the technician extremeño will follow looking for. It is possible, however, that the key of the success base precisely in the presence of multiple options, as it has been up to now... And no of an only footballer-star.
