Todibo, one of Barça's big recent mistakes

Before giving with Araújo, Koundé, Christensen and other, the FC Barcelona confronted serious difficulties to find a reliable central defence. Several defenders went through the City Condal without attaining adapt, like the known Yerry Mina, Lenglet or Vermaelen. However, there is a name that, in spite of showing his talent, could not exhibit it in Barcelona: Jean-Claire Todibo, the one who now has consolidated like one of the best head offices of Tie it 1.

The defender arrived to the Barça in 2019 like a promising young star of the French football, but the fault of opportunities carried it to three cessions, first to the Schalke 04 and afterwards to the Nice, where remained of permanent form from the summer of 2021. His performance has gone in constant promotion, turning into one of the figures stood out of the team and exerting a vital paper in the successful season of the club Frenchman, at present in the second position of Tie it 1.

With alone five goals fit in fourteen parties, equivalents to a goal each 252 minutes, the Nice is the only team that puts in aprietos to the PSG in the French league. In spite of the recent defeat in front of the Nantes, big part of the candidature of Francesco Farioli to struggle by the title supports in the solid defence, where shines a Todibo imperial, at all that see with what saw in the City Condal.

The central has given a jump of quality

One of the secrets of the jump of quality of the French has been his improvement in the taking of decisions, a crucial skill to triumph in the elite. Now it assumes fewer risks, has not committed errors that result in dangerous shots of the rival team this season, manages better the times to take part and chooses wisely when be aggressive in the intercepción. Besides, the thing does not remain here, also shows crucial offensive skills when filtering balloons between lines, being the third player of Tie it 1 with more passes completed (997) and the third in touch of balloon (1224).

To his 23 years and with an impressive projection, the ex blaugrana probably will join to a club of elite like the Manchester United, that already has showed a strong interest in him. Although the Catalan club would see with good eyes this movement, since it would involve a significant economic entry thanks to 20% reserved in a future sale of the player, the ideal would have been that the '6' of the Nice had reached his potential maximum in the Camp Nou and that it had been one of the pillars of the Barça of the future.
