Martin Braithwaite has won a lot of leadership in the last parties and his profile can complement very well the talent of players like Leo Messi or Pedri

Calendar of FC Barcelona

At the beginning of season and in spite of the course of Luis Suárez, Martin Braithwaite aimed to be a player of rotation, maybe revulsivo in some occasions but without leaving to be an acting more. However, the Danish has won the confidence of Ronald Koeman and accumulates five titularities followed, giving the feeling to be able to be a very valid alternative in the forward of the FC Barcelona.

Technically, it can not say that Martin Braithwaite was a virtuoso. Neither it is the fastest of the world, neither the strongest... Not even a 'killer' of those that does not waste an occasion inside the area. What himself has showed the international Danish is that it treats of a mature and very intelligent attacker to take out party of his virtues, in addition to a tireless worker.

Ronald Koeman has bet by Martin Braithwaite by the bands or by the centre, but remains quite clear that the best position for him is the one of '9'. The international Danish is a nuisance for the rival defences, since it treats of a player that attacks very lso spaces, that does not doubt to the hour to shoot, that finds the finish with ease and that fixed to the better head offices of what could seem.

His party against the Real Valladolid was the perfect definition of the important role that can have in the FC Barcelona. Martin Braithwaite did not tire to run, presionar and look for lso spaces in a dark work of the that benefited the players of more talent of the team. In concrete, the task of the Danish freed more than the account to Leo Messiand to Pedri, that formed a lethal society pro behind the ex pepinero.

In fact, the connection between the Argentinian and the grancanario was a scandal, since they associated without eating the terrain and without seeing forced to occupy a position of '9' in which Martin Braithwaite worked constantly. In fact, Leo Messi and Pedri played entirely freed, without banking in the centre beside players like Philippe Coutinho or Antoine Griezmann, with those who seem to understand less.

Braithwaite, the 'Giroud' of the FC Barcelona

In 2018, the French selection initiated the World-wide luciendo a big offensive trident formed by Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé. The problem is that, in spite of the big quality that had all they, any was '9' pure and suffered to attack comfortably. It was then when Didier Deschamps decided to sacrifice the quality of the 'mosquito' to plant to a forward like Olivier Giroud that freed to Griezmann and to Mbappé.

The solution looked for by the seleccionador was a success and Olivier Giroud, in spite of not being a big goleador neither a superclase, gave this work so necesariocomo dark so that they were others those that luciesen. The paper of Martin Braithwaite against the Real Valladolid was very similar to the of the international 'blue', since it freed to Leo Messi and Pedri and allowed them play to pleasure. Ronald Koeman can have given with a very interesting solution.
