Jules Koundé has been one of the most notable players at FC Barcelona in recent weeks and he would be forced to change roles when Iñigo Martínez returns to the squad.

In addition to the big problems that has had the FC Barcelona in the last metres and the 'abysmal' relation of the attackers with the goal, in the retaguardia have been a lot of the problems that has had the team of Xavi Hernández. From the errors in the shrinkings until the disconnections in front of the presence of the rivals, the history has been 'tétrica' for the Catalans in these recent weeks.

The history is so worrisome that, with alone 18 days contested to date, the Barça already has fit in this League more goals that had received in all the previous campaign (21 in this in front of the 20 of the past year). The defensive problems are being the heel of Achilles of a group culé that has fit, for example, ten targets more than the Real Madrid (11). They happened to be a wall to a defence easily superable.

Jules Koundé will be part of the changes of the Barça

This will cause that, from the month of January, have important changes in the plans of Xavi Hernández. Everything will coincide with the return of Iñigo Martínez, the one who is in the final stages of his recovery after suffering an injury in the biceps femoral of the right leg at the beginning of December. Everything seems to indicate to that will be entirely recovered for the dispute of the Supercopa of Spain, in Saudi Arabia, although no descarta that it reappear before. The big prejudiced could be Jules Koundé.

The French is living a quite irregular dynamics these last weeks and has left to be the defensive reference that had showed to be in the first parties of the season. It had asked him to Xavi play of head office and the results were being positive, but since it went back of the infirmary at all has been the same. And it can finish 'paying it' very expensive when it return Iñigo to the announcements, according to an information of the newspaper 'ACE'.

Koundé, of turn to the right side

And it is that, in the plans of the trainer egarense is that, for the dispute of the semifinals of the Supercopa of Spain, against Osasuna in Saudi Arabia, are Ronald Araújo and the central Basque those who position in the axis of the defensive saga. In this case, Koundé would remain relieved to the right side, where Joao Cancel continue being indisputable. It would happen to 'litigate' a place with the international with Portugal to be able to go in in the dispute of the first title of the season for the Catalans.
