The Barça, specialist in the area, and the best defence of Europe!

It does already some months, the FC Barcelona darse that it needed a change of the worst way. descosió With several goleadas in the Champions and tripping continuously in LaLiga, and only the Glass of Rey saved to the Catalans of a season in white. It was necessary to take important decisions.

Between them, the main affected to the bench, in which it closed the stage of Luis Enrique and opened the one of Ernesto Valverde. Further of his differences of character, both have a vision futbolística with a lot of differences but also with quite a lot of similarities, and the extremeño began his work by a point that the Asturian also reinforced to his arrival to the Camp Nou.

A Barça offensive, but specialist in defence

Perhaps the change proposed by the Txingurri was more visible due to the fact that it no longer existed a trident, given the drop of Neymar, the injury of Dembélé and the absence of a specific companion for Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. It cost him in some first months in which it only could trust to the Argentinian, but attained to keep an imponente offensive power... And fortificar a retaguardia vital.

The true is that, shelving a Supercopa of Spain that belongs to the previous course, with the registers of Glass, League and Champions the Barça is the team that less fits of Europe, with hardly 17 so many conceded in 45 official commitments. In 28 of them besides, it has attained to leave the goal to zero.

Not even big specialists of the continent like the Juventus (20) or the Athletic of Madrid (23) surpass the Barcelona balance, something that says a lot of the character and the mentality that has inculcado the new trainer to his pupilos. It knows that the goals will arrive like that of touch, combination and finish of the culés, but at the same time wants to them concienciados that it is necessary to mark the difference backwards.

Valverde Achieves better results with the same players

Without changing too many pieces, Valverde has improved the results adjusting to his team by in front. The defence title keep on being Sergi Roberto, Gerard Hammered, Samuel Umtiti and Jordi Alba, but the recently premièred double pivote and the interiors help to keep a block more arropado. This does not disfigure for nothing the big work of Luis Enrique, but signals that with almost the same group, always there are possibilities to find new solutions. All was for going back to win.
