The FC Barcelona happened more than a decade taking out party of the potential of the Masia to materialise the most glorious period of his history. Players of the house like Andrés Iniesta, Sergio Busquets or Xavi Hernández improved this philosophy of game of possession that implanted Johan Cruyff in his period and that lived his maximum splendour with Pep Guardiola in the bench.
Nevertheless, the years do not forgive and, to day of today, only the one of Badía survives in the staff culé. Since Xavi and Iniesta left , did not go out any pertinent footballer of the inferior categories that could give continuity to this style that is the stamp of identity of the FC Barcelona, by what opted for looking for to players went.
When Xavi Hernández left , Ivan Rakitic was able to occupy his place with a distinct game to the of Terrassa, but very amoldable in the Barcelona diagrams. The past summer touched him the turn to Iniesta and the technical office also decided to look for him the relief abroad. In his position, arrived three footballers: Philippe Coutinho, Arthur Melo and Arturo Vidal.
The first of all they already left clear that did not feel comfortable in the position of interior and happened to play of extreme. The place of Iniesta, therefore, contested it to him Arthur and Arturo Vidal that, with qualities very distinct, have known to adapt to what supposes to play in the FC Barcelona. Both deliver the minutes, although it also has seen them play together.
Distinct styles for the Barça
Arthur Melo and Arturo Vidal are two players of a spectacular level, but very distinct regarding profile of game. The Brazilian is a player that ensures control, since it do not lose almost any balloon and does to circulate the balloon of clean and fast form in a style that fits to perfection with the philosophy culé.
The Chilean, by his part, is all the contrary: pure deployment, pressure and arrival, offering decisive presence in the two areas. It can that the ex of the Bayern of Munich was not the alive image of the style of the Masia but, with his particular qualities, has known to find a place in the team contributing distinct nuances to the game. Two jugadorazos.
