Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona lució during a lot of years a football that marvelled to the world no only by the triumphs that attained , but by his style of only game and irrepetible. A game of possession directed from the bench by Pep Guardiola, but executed on the field by players like Andrés Iniesta or Xavi Hernández.

Now, both players no longer are in the first staff of the FC Barcelona since the time happens for all. The Barça still conserves to players like Leo Messi or Sergio Busquets, keys for this style of game, but from does time works to settle the bases to accompany them by players of similar profile to Xavi and Iniesta.

The problem with which has topado the club in the last seasons is that the Masia has not given important players in the position of interior, reason by which has had to look for to footballers out of the Camp Nou. The first that arrived to settle the bases of the line continuista with the game of touch was Philippe Coutinho, a footballer of enormous quality and desborde.

The Brazilian is one of these players with magic in his boots and showed it in the last months of the past season: with him in the field, saw to another Barça entirely distinct, with a much more recognizable football. Nevertheless, with him it does not finish the list of signings to relieve to Xavi and Iniesta, but only it initiates .

Arthur Melo will be the second stone in this project of reconstruction of the game of touch, since it treats of a footballer with 'DNA Barça' in spite of proceeding of the Brazilian football. If Coutinho was a player of 'profile Iniesta', in the case of the midfield player of the Guild treats of a more seemed profile to the of Xavi, since it manages further back and with a concept of security in the pass more than to play on line of three chambers.

The Masia and another signing

Players like Carles Aleñá or Riqui Puig, big values of the Masia, are the big pertinent hope of the quarry to keep intact the style Barça. Besides, after the refusal of Antoine Griezmann to arrive to the Camp Nou, the club wishes to do with a midfield player of quality contrasted and with a profile of man of possession of the type Pjanic, Thiago or Rabiot.
