Ronald Koeman has varied his tactical drawing along the season and everything seems to indicate that finally it is having good results. With the 4-3-3 that implanted after the tie in front of the Eibar (1-1) in the Camp Nou, in the last party of the 2020, the Dutch has achieved a centre of the more consistent and participatory field, with Sergio Busquets, Frenkie of Jong and Pedri González like only leading in au approach. From this change, has added five victories, a tie and an alone defeat, in addition to the big offensive contribution of Pedri or Of Jong.

Koeman Asked that his midfield players that participated more in the offensive blaugrana and, with the variation of system, is achieving the changes that expected. It is not a definite system, as it confessed after the party in front of the Elche, but yes that has been hit of his part. With the change of drawing, Busquets has remained like only mediocentro, whereas Of Jong and Pedri fulfil the function of interiors. The 'effects' have been immediate and, better still, positive: they have been more consistent, balanced and have stepped forward to show his offensive fortresses in the field.

Proof of this have been the four goals of Frenkie of Jong, three in the last parties, and his constant presence in the nearest zone to the rival area. Pedri Also achieved to turn into an opportunity and Busquets has dared to shoot from out of the field, as it did in the stadium Martínez Valero. On the other hand, so much the Dutch like the Tenerifean have achieved more freedom of movements and, therefore, more opportunities for incomodar at all times to the rival defence.

Everything aims to that Koeman will continue trusting fully in the three players and will do very few changes in the medullary during the season, leaving to Miralem Pjanic and Riqui Puig like two 'solutions' in case of emergency. The bosnio, in concrete, has not finished to fit in the approach and has contested the majority of his minutes in the Champions League, during the phase of groups, when the one of Badía has rested. Puig, on the other hand, is showing that the Dutch needs to take it more in account and, his goal against the Elche, has been the greater proof of this.

Of Jong, the compass of the Barça

The ex of the Ajax has been, perhaps, the one who more has stood out in the last clashes of the FC Barcelona, so much by his efficiency in the creation of game as with his facet goleadora. In front of the Elche opened the marker and, although practically only had to push the spherical, has left very clear that his contribution goes further to break lines and drive the balloon in the centre of the field.

One of the reasons of his big level at present is that, with the 4-3-3, has seen freed to do tasks more defensive, what has allowed him have more opportunities to connect with the forwards, already was to assist them or finishing he same.
