Throwing a glimpse to the statistics of the FC Barcelona this season 2018-19, fits to stand out that of the 127 goals (3 in own door) that has annotated the team to day of today, 14 have been marked by defenders. This Saturday, against the Real Sociedad, gave the peculiarity that the two goals of the Barcelona victory were annotated by players of containment.
Usually Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and the rest of forwards and midfield players are used to to appear to resolve the ballot in attack, but in this occasion were Clément Lenglet -with a finish of head to the exit of a corner- and Jordi Alba -with a shot from out of the area- those who certified the triumph of the Barcelona in front of the Real Sociedad, ensuring like this the three points.
The best attack for the FC Barcelona was a good defence, or better said, the good work of the defenders in the offensive plane. If we analyse the ránking of goleadores of the season 2018-19, Gerard Hammered projects with 7 targets, whereas Jordi Alba already has marked 3 goals and Clément Lenglet, 2 so many with the one of this Saturday in the Camp Nou.
Sergi Roberto and Nélson Semedo add a goal each one, by what the defenders culés have annotated in total 14 goals that can be very important in the achievement of titles. Vermaelen, Umtiti, Murillo and Todibo are the only defences that have not seen goal in what it goes of campaign, to a large extent because they neither have had of too many minutes.
The defence of the Barcelona also contributes in attack
In any case, fits to stand out the importance of a defence goleadora for the FC Barcelona, that with the arrival of Lenglet has improved the aerial potential and, with the one of Semedo does two summers, the arrival until the contrary area by the right band.
All this, joining the contribution Gerard Hammered and of Jordi Alba in the offensive plane -in the case of Jordi Alba, more in shape of assistances- improves the provision of a FC Barcelona that is used to to depend too much of the magic of Leo Messi and of the goals of Luis Suárez. When the ones of up fail, it is necessary to resort to a plan B or C. And here they are the defences culés to give the face.
