The course of Iniesta and a new change of training have opened a debate in the Barça on the ideal position for Philippe Coutinho, with a question that has not wanted to resolve Ernesto Valverde. The technician has warned that it will use him so much of forward as of midfield player
After several months of doubts, Andrés Iniesta confirmed that it abandoned the Camp Nou to initiate a new adventure in Japan, and after several decades of successes, Philippe Coutinho appeared to collect his witness. The Brazilian played in a FC Barcelona with and without the manchego, and now that it is not, has caused an interesting debate on his ideal position.
In the 4-4-2 of the past campaign, the carioca shined so much accompanying to the of Fuentealbilla as approaching to the forward, in which it could explode his verticality and his shot starting from the left band and combining with Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. Now, with Ousmane Dembélé more settled and the return to the 4-3-3, the ex of the Liverpool has retreated some metres, and anybody knows where will act although it considers him a fixed in the eleven headline.
When they have questioned him in this regard, Ernesto Valverde has preferred to play to the distraction, warning that it does not think to reveal his plans and that this incógnita does not suppose him a problem, but rather a fortress. "It would be a question for the own player. It is a player that can play in two positions and will do it along the year", valued the extremeño when they demanded him if the one of River is an attacker or a midfield player.
Valverde Has a lot of variants for the eleven of the Barça
Waiting for knowing if the 4-4-2 will go back to armour to the team when there are clashes of more requirement, what is clear is that this Barça can offer a lot of versions according to the footballers that actuén like headlines, already was in goes out it of machines or in the zone of attack.
As well as Coutinho offers creativity, electricity and shot, Arturo Vidal has to contribute effort, harp and more defensive qualities, and Arthur management of the game, security and possession. All have distinct virtues and can complement with Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic, that are the two pieces innegociables and that guarantee a line of a lot of carats.
Beside Rafinha Alcántara, Sergi Samper or Riqui Puig, there is sufficient margin so that Philippe play in front having the very covered backs, and this that Dembélé or Malcom also have a lot that say. Valverde Will have to demand to the maximum to square the best onces for each challenge, but what is more than clear is that this team has solutions for all the problems.
