Unless Ousmane Dembélé put the batteries during the pre-season 2018 and star a start of season fulgurante, does not have for nothing the titularity ensured in the FC Barcelona. And it is that, as it ensures the Catalan press, in concrete 'Sport', Ernesto Valverde would explain initially with Philippe Coutinho for one of the positions of attack, seconding to Luis Suárez and Leo Messi in 4-3-3.

The 4-3-3, precisely, would be the training type of the FC Barcelona the next season 2018-19, and no the 4-4-2 used usually the past course with the presence in the centre of the field of players more physical like Paulinho or André Gomes. The Brazilian already has left , and the Barcelona wants to close the traspaso of the Portuguese in the next days.

On the other hand, it has fichado to Arthur Melo, a technical footballer and with a big future by in front, and pretends fichar to Rabiot or Of Jong, players with quality but also with physicist, to endow of balance to the centre of the field, where Busquets and Rakitic will be indisputable headlines, waiting for that Arthur, Denis Suárez or the future midfield player that fiche the Barça impogan in the order of priorities of Valverde.

Although it is true that the French attacker left details the past season of his tremenda quality, still is missing him curtirse mental and physically to turn into a 'fixed' in the alignments.

This does not want to say that it do not go to have of minutes, neither much less. In the parties in that it was not headline, probably was one of the first changes of Valverde to revolutionise the parties and finish to the contrary teams to base of speed and contragolpes.

Valverde Trusts more in Coutinho for the attack

To day of today, however, Valverde would prefer to Coutinho in attack given the tuning that has showed with Leo Messi and Luis Suárez since it arrived, and also to endow to the centre of the field of more consistency, was the one who was the new signing that arrive to reinforce said zone.

To all this, it will be necessary to take into account also to Carles Aleñá, that could turn into the big disclosure of the season if they give him opportunities. What is clear, are cuales are the alignments of Valverde, is that the Barça will go back to have a staff of the most competitive to struggle by all the titles in dispute.
