The register of Philippe Coutinho to the that the Barça has to loan attention

The selection of Brazil put end to his international commitments of September with a goleada in front of The Saviour in United States, in which the FC Barcelona was very represented. In addition to Arthur that had minutes again to go adapting to the team, the one who also was headline and contested almost an hour of meeting was Philippe Coutinho, that went back to leave his footprint in the 'canarinha'.

Splitting from the left interior, the carioca attained to be a danger for the rival saga with drivings, passes and dribblings, in addition to going back to stand out with another goal. Every time that it approaches to the area sound the alarms, and is that his clarity increases to measure that go down the metres that separate him of the goal. It is an authentic expert.

With the conversion to pure midfield player that pretend to apply the Catalans, Ernesto Valverde would have to take note of the progression of the crack, that has exploded in the last months in the appearance realizador. Always it had had some inclination to look for the finish, but the results are accompanying him and his figures are not for nothing despicable.

In a year in which it combined positions more retarded and more advanced, between Barcelona and Liverpool contabilizó 22 so many in 41 parties, to which it is necessary to add him the target to the Sportive Alavés in the four meetings of this course and a bunch more with the elastic of the 'seleçao'. Without being a born forward, Coutinho has an important weight in the statistical scorers of his teams, and that is an appearance that it would be necessary to procure that it improve .

Flexible systems or a 4-2-3-1 to take out the best of Coutinho

Although it is clear that the system will not turn around a player -further of Leo Messi-, the Barça would do well in fitting to Coutinho in a style that allow him reinforce his virtues, that can be very beneficial to collective level. In a campaign in which it has to assume part of the responsibilities of Andrés Iniesta in the zone of creation, does not suit to subtract him so much freedom as so that it lose this joy that characterises him.

Trainings very flexible like the one of Brazil would be the key to improve to the carioca, that starts like interior in a 4-3-3 that allows him step area with frequency, sabedor that his place is very protected. Another promising approach would be the 4-2-3-1, that allows to the culés fit several pieces in his ideal positions, giving the balance in the medullary that has looked for in the last times. There is a lot of variety in the eleven, but this type of talent, can not shelve.
