When Ernesto Valverde arrived to the FC Barcelona knew that it confronted to the greater adventure of his life, but the prudence that showed in his first words has turned into courage since. The technician has dared to revolutionise some classical diagrams of the Barcelona group, and one of his keys to surpass the adversities has been to take advantage of the polivalencia of his footballers.

As it aims 'Sportive World' in his analysis of game, until 12 players, -the half of the staff- have acted in more than a position along the season, and except some that another exception, all has attained to finish convincing. The more 'moved' has been, as it comes being usual, Sergi Roberto, that keeps on being the main alternative in the side but also has occupied the places of pivote, right interior and false extreme.

Beside the Catalan stands out André Gomes, another that has gone ranged in four distinct demarcations, going through all the ones of the medullary and also the extreme. By all the front of attack has exerted Ousmane Dembélé, as well as Jordi Alba that has hoarded several positions in the left band. His usual substitute, Lucas Digne, has cuajado in the side but also like head office of emergency.

In the another lane Aleix Vidal happened of side to forward, and up Luis Suárez has moved by the left and the centre complementing to Paco Alcácer that it has done it by the centre and by the right. Denis Suárez has been inner right and left and extreme and Philippe Coutinho already has catado the two bands.

Between the greater tarpaulins of Valverde are the midfield players, a figure importantísima in the style of the Barça. In the line of means has triumphed Ivan Rakitic as much as inner as in the pivote, where has revealed like the perfect substitute of Sergio Busquets. Besides, the unexpected Paulinho has shined especially to forward but has endowed of consistency to a group that split in the last times.

The training, simple reference

This tactical success has arrived, especially, by the fluidity with which move the footballers on the terrain of game. Although the training 3-5-2 descartó by his failure in the Supercopa, is difficult to identify if the Barça plays with a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3, because in spite of aiming to the first, the movements mix with the ones of the second.

This team has recovered the defensive solvency but without neglecting the attack, comandado during a lot of months by Leo Messi but reinforced in the last thanks to a choral participation, in which goal, defence, centre of the field and leading have importance independently of the commitment. Now it remains to finish it with titles, but, for the moment, the time is giving the reason to Valverde.
