So much the players like the trainer have not tired to repeat it in the last weeks: This FC Barcelona still is a team under construction. But the true is that with hardly retouchings in the staff, the Barcelona have improved his feelings with regard to the past season. Still it remains a lot for growing, but the start is promising.
Big part of the merit is for Ernesto Valverde, that warned that it would not forget of the philosophy of the group culé, but that would look for adjust them necessary to improve his performance. And, for the moment, it is achieving it, attaining in addition to results, a security that the Catalans had lost in the last times.
From his first party, this Barça has changed a lot, and little by little goes adapting to the requirements of the new trainer. The Txingurri has given back the leadership to the sides, and his participation is one of the keys in the game. In the left band Jordi Alba and Lucas Digne have recovered a profundida that has converted them almost in forwards, whereas in the right, often with an open extreme, Nélson Semedo and Sergi Roberto help to create superiorities in the centre of the field and in the defensive balance, something that mermó the options of the men of Luis Enrique does so alone some months.
The attack, a lunar
But if the adjust in the sides has sirvido to endow of consistency to the team, Ernesto Valverde still treats to find the best formula for the attack, for the moment too dependent of Leo Messi. It is clear that one of his big problems has been the drop of Ousmane Dembélé, but to the Barça seem to be missing him arguments when it does not annotate the Argentinian.
The bad moment of Luis Suárez, too irregular and lost after moving away of the goal, contrasts with the choral contribution in the account of goals, in which now they participate more the midfield players and even the defences. Surprisingly, the goals in own also have added to this register, one of which fits to improve to be ready when it arrive the hour of the truth.
