In the present season, the FC Barcelona keeps on being quite reliable to offensive level, but the defensive solidity has seen menguada until alarming points. The change of system to 4-3-3 has not benefited to the team regarding defence
With the international stop of selections, arrives a week and ideal average so that in the FC Barcelona do reflection of the things that are not working as it is had to. One of them is in the defensive section, where the Barcelona team is showing excessively vulnerable, conceding too many occasions of goal that finish with the balloon at the bottom of the meshes.
The statistics do not deceive and, lamentably, are demoledoras: they have fit 18 goals in 12 parties of LaLiga Santander, a figure to which, in the past season, did not arrive until the day 33. The defensive reliability of the team of Ernesto Valverde has seen very prejudiced since it changed the system.
The past season, the FC Barcelona employed a 4-4-2 that allowed to have a defensive balance very effective with a power of important attack thanks to the tremendo offensive power of the couple formed by Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. After the past summer, the diagram changed to a 4-3-3 and the team is seeing prejudiced in defence.
To César what is of César: neither it is necessary to forget the big series of results harvested in the past month of October against important rivals. But it is necessary to observe the errors and see that the balance of points achieved is not being at all positive, with too many goals fit that they are not seeing compensated with a mejoría so important in attack.
Maybe this stop of selections has to serve so that reflexione on if it would be positive to go back to the diagram that so many joys gave the past season. With Arturo Vidal that every time it seems more to the player of elite that was in the Bayern of Munich and the Juventus and that is fulfilling with an alike role to the of Paulinho the past campaign, the same would not be so descabellado test again with the 4-4-2.
Negative record in front of the Betis
The FC Barcelona harvested a historically negative result in front of the Real Betis: it did 15 years that any team achieved to mark four goals against the culés in the Camp Nou. The last time it occurred in the season 2002-03, in the month of January and against Valencia. The goleada of the Andalusians gives for reflection, since there is a lot for improving.
