He's just arrived, but he's already going strong: Jules Koundé played almost everything with FC Barcelona during the month of January, as a center-back or right-back. He added 690 minutes in total

January was a very moved month for the FC Barcelona and with overloads of parties. The culés contested a total of eight parties between LaLiga (3), Glass of Rey (3) and Supercopa of Spain (2) in which two parties went to the extention and one finish in batch of penaltis. Jules Koundé played it practically all (to exception of a party) and was one of the 'jerarcas' of the Barcelona picture.

The international with France did not have the best start of month, 'touched' after the defeat in the Glass of the World, but benefited a lot of the return of Ronald Araújo, after his injury, because they have turned into the best 'partners' in defence. Between him and the charrúa have been keys so that during the month of January the Barça have fit only six goals between all the competitions.

It played all the parties, complete, to exception of the visit to the Ceuta (0-5) in which it remained in the bank of acting. It combined between the axis of the defence and the right-handed side, where is puliendo increasingly. And it is that, in addition to his defensive solidity, if by something has stood out from his arrival to the Barça is for being an authentic mutiusos.

It contested a total of seven parties, three in League, two in Glass and two in the Supercopa of Spain for a total of 690 minutes of action during the month of January, more than any another Barcelona footballer. Three of them did it like right side (Athletic of Madrid, Girona and Real Sociedad) and the others four like head office (Getafe, Intercity, Betis and Real Madrid).

Koundé, settled in the Barça

After surpassing the last injury that kept him some parties out of action before the World-wide, Koundé has recovered his best version and is increasingly important for the Barça. Against the Girona, for example, showed absolute commitment and was key to brake the confined by his band.

It is another of the protagonists of the Barça in this start of season and 'culprit' that they carry fourteen goals to zero. After the party, recognised that "it is being nail the work of all the players, no only of Marc and of the defences. It is something that all are doing very well, beginning by the ones of up, and it is necessary to go on down this way".
