The FC Barcelona has bet finally by the signing of Malcom in the centre of the field, a player of distinct profile to the of Willian, in spite of that similar in some appearances. All this leaves to the discovered the diagram employed by Valverde
After the arrivals of Clément Lenglet and of Arthur Melo, the FC Barcelona has done official this Tuesday the signing of Malcom, pertinent of the Girondins of Bordeaux. The Brazilian player incorporates to the FC Barcelona for apuntalar the forward in return of 41 million euros more one in concept of variables, signing his links culé by five seasons.
The signing of Malcom is distant in quite a lot of things of the of Willian, that until this week was the candidate number one to reinforce the right lane of the Barcelona team. The main is that the ex of the Girondins of Bordeaux is a player that has more arrival to the area, although something less than defensive work, something that ocasionaría changes in the diagram.
As It Is configuring the staff of the FC Barcelona, everything seems prepared so that Ernesto Valverde recover the 4-2-3-1 that used in the Athletic Club of Bilbao. If the signing of Arthur Melo and the interest by Of Jong or Rabiot already reinforced this theory, the fact to incorporate to Malcom leaves clear that the new diagram is a very real possibility.
In this sense, Malcom acts like extreme by the right, something that ocasionaría a duel of swords with Ousmane Dembélé to do with the titularity in said place. By the left walk Philippe Coutinho and Denis Suárez, whereas Leo Messi would have full freedom to move like mediapunta, with Luis Suárez like reference.
Another possibility that opens with the signing of Malcom is the one to recover the 4-3-3 characteristic during the last lustros in the FC Barcelona. In this case, Leo Messi would be the leading centre, whereas Luis Suárez would act in the left band. The right extreme again would be in dispute between Dembélé and Malcom.
Malcom, Dembélé and the defensive work
If Ernesto Valverde decided to keep the 4-4-2, the game of Malcom or of Ousmane Dembélé would see resentful, since do them work too much in tasks of recovery would move them away of the goal, something that would prejudice them too much in his game. Men of distinct profile like Coutinho himself can develop said task, but so much the new signing like the French will have to adapt to what ask the Txingurri.
