The player in which it inspired Valverde for fichar to Paulinho

One of the fundamental pieces of the big performance of the FC Barcelona in front of the Real Madrid was Paulinho, midfield player fichado the past pertinent summer of the Superliga Chinese. The Brazilian was an authentic nuisance for the white defence, to which won the back in multiple occasions and little was missing him to achieve mark.

The true is that the Brazilian midfield player has won the confidence of the fans of the FC Barcelona, of his mates of changing room, of the technical body but, above all, of the trainer Ernesto Valverde. But this is not new in the 'Txingurri', that knew perfectly the characteristics of Paulinho when him fichó, since in the Athletic had to a player that remembers too much to the Brazilian.

A midfield player with arrival, dog of prey in the pressure, with big aerial game, physical characteristics envidiables and with a special gift to be situated in the heart and with the cane ready. If you pronounce these words in Saint Mamés in shape of riddle, only can you come a name to the mind: Raúl García.

Paulinho Is doing for Valverde the same paper that did Raúl García in the Athletic Club of Bilbao. Something that loves him to the Txingurri since it combines defensive work with offensive power, arms of leftovers to turn into a nuisance so much for the rival defences as for the attacks. The arrival of Paulinho was not fortuíta, and now can check.

Partidazo In the Bernabéu

Paulinho Was planted initially in the right band by Ernesto Valverde, although with total freedom to incorporate to the attack in positions more centred. A freedom that, thanks to his big deployment, went back to take advantage of to receive several balloons in the interior of the area that put in check to the Real Madrid. The physical deployment of the Brazilian went back to be spectacular and was one of the best of the Barcelona group. It participated actively so much in the pressure as in the multiple offensive actions of the FC Barcelona.
