With the arrival of Valverde, the Barça has gone back to adjust his style, that has not lost the essence but offers new solutions. With the tactical changes entered by the technician, the centre of the field has gone back to take importance, also to the hour to annotate
They remain a lot of months by in front, but the FC Barcelona has begun the season with a big rhythm in spite of the accumulation of parties. In the middle of another evolution in the game, the Catalan group has achieved to keep the goals of his part and add another source of annotation, giving more responsibility to the midfield players.
And it is that, after long, the forwards have yielded part of his leadership to his mates, something that has several very concrete causes. In addition to the enésima explosion of Leo Messi, the low form of Luis Suárez, beside the exit of Neymar and the entrance of Dembélé, now of drop by injury, are the main reasons that the responsibility goleadora have changed of hands.
Without going more far, taking like reference the registers of the course happened in all the competitions, the Barça annotated 169 goals. Of them, 111 they were for the trident (54 of Messi, 37 of Suárez and 20 of Neymar), to which it is necessary to add them the 8 of Paco Alcácer to sentence that the forward was manager of 69,8% of the so many culés. For the defence remained hardly a 5,9, but in the medullary, Burn (13), Rakitic (9), Rafinha (7), Denis (3), André Gomes (3), and Iniesta (1), were 'culprits' of 21,3% of the production scorer barcelonista.
Year of changes
This year, however the things are something distinct. It is true that hardly have contested some parties, but the returns begin to change. Of the 21 goals of the Barça, 12 are for Leo Messi, and beside Luis Suárez (1) do 61,9% of the annotation. With I Hammered like only representative of the saga (4,7% of the production with his goal), the doublets of Denis and Paulinho added to the so many of Rakitic and Sergi Roberto convert to the centre of the field in manager of 28,5% of the so many.
Without being entirely significant, these values invite to think in a change in the way to face the parties, in which there is more freedom to look to goal and in which Leo Messi is finding more allied of face to door. It will be necessary to see if this symptom turns into a constant during the rest of the course, but for the moment Ernesto Valverde already has found more soldered for his battle.
