The FC Barcelona descose in defence, by fault of the 4-3-3?

After several years of doubts and after the exit of some key pieces of the changing room, Ernesto Valverde opted for premièring in FC Barcelona betting by a flexible training that split of a 4-4-2. Of this way, attained to compensate the absence of extremes and armour to his team in the retaguardia, something that this year has changed with the presence of new -and very varied- alternative. Although the usual 4-3-3 goes back to be present, still remains him a lot of pending work.

Regarding LaLiga, the data do not leave in very good place to the change of system, that has to fit new footballers and improve in his automatisms. For the moment it is not a drama because there is long to react, but urge find solutions so that the doubts do not finish affecting to the morals of a group to the that have begun to warn him the results.

If in the campaign happened the solidity was a signal of identity of the Catalans, in this are much more vulnerable, what remains showed explaining that to reach the 7 goals against in the present 6 days, does a year took 18. In the same heights of championship, and although they neither were to his best level, had conceded hardly 2 so many.

If this sacrifice carried a return, could understand his application, but besides, this Barça marks less in spite of having a forward more. Of the same form, in the Day 6 of the past edition liguera had reached a total of 20 targets in favour, whereas in this is not too far but has left his slat in 17.

The Barça has to pulir soon his system

In spite of that all these questions are used to solve to base of trainings, parties and minutes for all the footballers, to the Barça him urge react and pulir his bet, was cual was. It is clear that this year has perfect players to bet by a 4-3-3, but then has to work more in the forward and the average to avoid so many frights for Marc-André Ter Stegen. It is true that, for example, Girona and Leganés did not have too many opportunities, but at the end put them for inside and this is what explains.

Of the same form, also is valid the 4-4-2 if it keeps on being the best option for the team, that with the Coutinho, Arthur, Vidal, Dembélé or Malcom, has spare possibilities. Before exploring alternatives, touches to consolidate a base, from which can grow and look more than near to the titles. Saving punctual defeats, like this did the past season, and with a doublet like guarantee, it is necessary to improve to be able to aspire to more. The challenge is very clear.
