Jèrèmy Mathieu has happened to be one of the most controversial signings of the last times to be one of the fixed in the alignments of Luis Enrique. The French defence Is winning in the field the respect and the affection of some fans that possibly was unfair with him

Contested already nine official parties, seven of League and two of Champions, begins to draw the possible eleven headline of the Barça of Luis Enrique. Everything and the rotations that is carrying out the Asturian technician, some players have stepped advance and are turning into fixed. It is the case of Jèrèmy Mathieu, the one who has the sad honour to be ones of the most argued signings by the barcelonismo in the last years. His age, his price, and the hard negotiations with Valencia planted to the international French in the centre of the criticisms. Luckily, his performance in this start of season is being glorious and already has won so much the confidence of Luis Enrique as of good part of the fans that so much criticised his arrival. For the moment, it carries seven parties being headline, only by behind Leo Messi (9) and of Sergio Busquets (8).

Mathieu premièred the past Saturday in Vallecas like left side, a position that to date there was state reserved for Jordi Alba (6 parties to title) and Adriano Correia (3 parties, 2 to title). However, and everything and be available for the party against the Ray, Luis Enrique decided to test to Mathieu in the left lane and the result could not be more hopeful. The international French cuajó a remarkable performance, being one of the best players of the team and offering solutions so much in defence as in attack.

The performance of the French in Vallecas has woken up the first praises of the surroundings, that even has compared the performance of the player with the one of his compatriot Abidal, the one who defended the left side of the Barça during a lot of seasons, contributing a defensive balance that began to throw in fault. The physicist imponente of Mathieu, added to his speed and offensive projection, could complicate the things to the two lateral theorists left of the team. The low form of Jordi Alba -to years light of his first season- and the few minutes that has played Adriano, by fault of a cardiac problem, could be taken advantage of by the French, that has played in this position along his career. Besides, it is necessary to take into account that this movement of pieces allows to Luis Enrique range together to the couple of head offices Hammered-Bartra and give entrance to Mascherano and Vermaelen, that expects that it can debut with the Barça in brief.
