Calendar of FC Barcelona

After a week with a lot of praises, the suffered traced back in Getafe and the conclusive goleada to the Eibar have showed that this Barça has resources. One of them is a recently arrived, Paulinho, that seems empeñado in acallar the criticisms that raised his signing to base of goals. The Brazilian still has not found his place in the eleven, but for the moment is convincing to his way.

And it is that in the Camp Nou has remained reflected that to the midfield player still remains him work to adapt to the tactical system of Ernesto Valverde. Proof of this is that hardly it has participated in the tasks of construction, and is that the room of machines has remained in hands of Iniesta, Busquets and Leo Messi. The one of Sao Paulo often loses his position and leaves to occupy gaps in defence or to treat to incorporate to the attack, something that can allow given his flawless physical condition.

However, Paulinho has not needed to fit in the eleven to show that his conditions are very valid for the Catalan group, something that to date has won to base of goals, one of them saviour and another that has given tranquility. But no only this, and is that the Brazilian also has showed a big intelligence to the hour to position , although it was according to his criteria. His movement to free to Messi in the played of the 3-0 has been noteworthy, and often has been able to him see occupying the position of '9' in a forward that today did not have a so incisive profile. 

It will not be spare of Busquets

Something that also has remained patent is that Paulinho does not seem to be a spare for Busquets in the pivote, a paper that could remain reserved for Ivan Rakitic or Sergi Roberto, more habituados to the system and more given to save the balance of the team. The wide route of Paulinho and his anarchy will be aprovechables, but more like an interior with arrival that like the '4' classical that knows the Barça.
