Arthur follows approaching to Xavi Hernández and already has marked a new aim

The reaction remained short in Mestalla, but against Valencia, one of the best teams of LaLiga, the FC Barcelona went back to leave good feelings. It was missing him, true is, the hit that had against the Tottenham, but went back to dominate the game and to reduce the dangers of the contrataques rival to base of possession and defensive attention.

One of the keys for this renewed balance is the participation of Arthur, that seems to be the master piece to give stability to the 4-3-3. The one of Goiania loses very few balloons and adjusts very well his position on the terrain of game, what allows to improve the offensive style of the Catalans attaining besides reduce the risks in the retaguardia.

One of his strong points is the reliability in the pass, one of the characteristics that shares and that approach him to Xavi Hernández. Both are midfield players of court very similar, and the Brazilian has repeated in several occasions that the one of Terrassa is a mirror in which look, one put to which aspire given the collective and individual successes that has reached along his historical career.

This weekend, the youngster turned into the player visitor with more passes tried in a party of LaLiga, 142, from 2012, when the own Xavi elevated the slat until 148. It attained it besides, surpassing in tarpaulins to his mates, since with 134 (94% of effectiveness), was above the 117 sendings of Sergio Busquets and the 116 of Ivan Rakitic that finish arriving to his addressee.

The atrevimiento, pending subject of Arthur

In spite of everything, there is an aim that Arthur already has marked in the Barça, one that could turn him into a much more complete footballer. Although it prefers to bet by the firmness and the security in his first months in the City Condal, with the step of the months and to base to accumulate meetings, has to risk more in the final metres.

Tite Defined him does some weeks like an articulador of game, that that finds the cracks that mark the difference near of the area. However, in addition to surtir of balloons to Leo Messi and to Philippe Coutinho, the two that more tried to accelerate the offensive culé in Mestalla, the recently arrived has to be able to find the gaps in the rival defences, to suppose a threat more contributing goals and assistances. If also it achieves it, they will grow his virtues, and will be able to have much more impact in the direction of the team. Has a lot of margin of improvement.
