The keys that explain the necessary step forward that Jules Koundé has taken with Barça

The FC Barcelona has had in the mejoría defensive of Jules Koundé one of the more gratas news of this stretch of the season. The defender Frenchman, that from the past course showed to be a defender aguerrido and flawless, independently of the demarcation in which it corresponded him see action, between finals of 2023 and beginnings of 2024, had a seguidilla of meetings in which it showed totally deslucido, putting like this in doubt so much his place in the eleven headline of Xavi Hernández like his continuity in the Barcelona club.

Fortunately, for the Barça and for Jules, all these errors that committed, to the point to see lacking of concentration and 'timing' in the terrain of game, in addition to lacking confidence to execute the actions of conclusive way, seems to have remained in the forget. In fact, in the actuality, already settled of full like right side, the Parisian has been one of the big managers of the remarkable 'subidón' to defensive level that has had the picture culé that, by the way, hardly has received an annotation in the last five commitments that has contested.

The keys in the 'subidón' in the sportive level of Jules Koundé

This vital mejoría of the defender Frenchman, the one who at present appears like the second Barcelona player with greater quantity of minutes contested (3.170) only by behind İlkay Gündoğan, as it aimed in 'SPORT', comes given, largely, by an optimisation in his physical state. The referred source sustains that the '23' of the combined Catalan carries already a good time training a lot of days of pospartido beside the acting to win physical tone.

Another factor to the that the quoted media attributes the mejoría in the level of game of the French goes through the capacity that has had to adapt and improve some technical concepts like the soltura and fluidity with the balloon, a section where before was used to to be slower and perhaps now sees him a bit more agile. Equally, it has noticed how now Jules enjoys of greater confidence to the hour of incursionar much more in offensive, appearing in more than an occasion in the last third of the field and even approaching more to the area, doing a good 'tandem' with Lamine Yamal, endowing of depth to the right side.

The French will finish a new season like right side

The cumulus of these appearances improved referred previously has done that Koundé go back to be near of this stellar level that has treasured in him and longed for that it could recover in the club of the City Condal. As they go the things, everything seems to aim to that, given the big irruption of Pau Cubarsí like defender and in front of the fact that Joãor Cancel is totally installed like left side by the absence of Alejandro Balde, the Frenchman will culminate a new season like player of the FC Barcelona being right side indiscutido, a work that has left clear that does not like him a lot exert, but in which it has known to give a necessary step at the front and in which it has surrendered with an important solvency.

It will be necessary to see if, after the closing of this campaign 2023-24, Jules Koundé, the one who has agreement with the Barça until 30 June 2027, follows accepting this role of right side, or if, therefore, wishes again go back to the centre of the defence, which would generate a small 'problem' in the Barcelona cast, given the 'overbooking' of big defenders that there is at present in the club. Besides, it will be necessary to value if the combined Catalan decides to retain him or, as it has rumoreado in more than an occasion in this period, decides to give him gone out in the coming market estival, remembering that, by his innegable sportive level and his price of market, valued like an element 'apetecible' to sell.
