This is how Marcos Alonso plays, Barça's new left-back

The FC Barcelona has done official the arrival of Marcos Alonso to the City Condal. The left side will put under the orders of Xavi Hernández from this summer and by the next three seasons will dress the Barcelona T-shirt. The footballer will land in the City Condal like part of the agreement that sent to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Chelsea, whereby the 'blues' paid 14 million fixed euros more the index card of the international with the Spanish selection.

The Madrilenian will join to the discipline of the first Barcelona team after 6 seasons in London, in where it arrived of the hand of Antonio Conte in the summer of 2016 and turned into a key piece of the changing room of the 'pensionados', being besides one of the favourites of the fans capitalina. In spite of being a pair of campaigns in the ostracism because of the injuries and the contracting of Ben Chillwell, during the course 21-22 went back to win the titularity and was fundamental for Thomas Tuchel, contesting 46 parties in which it annotated 5 goals and delivered 5 assistances.

And it is that one of the main strong of the now ex footballer of Chelsea is his big offensive capacity. Along the 6 years in which 'shined' in Stamford Bridge, Alonso celebrated 29 so many and gave 19 passes of goal in 212 meetings, numbers very good for a defender that had to win to 'pulse' a place in the eleven headline and to the that the physical setbacks him irrespetaron during a stretch of his career. With all these problems left in the forget, the player will arrive to the rows culés to present like a threat more in attack, in addition to increasing the danger in the played to balloon stopped with his enormous hit.

Of the same way, in the defensive section Marcos stands out by his balance, intensity and órden tactical, with capacity for the crash, good aerial game and disposal to help to the team at all times. His experience and long route in some of the best leagues of the world like the Series To and the Premier, in addition to his go through the Spanish selection, gives him a lot that contribute in a full defence of young figures like Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé, Eric García and Alejandro Balde.

An alternative in distinct diagrams

Of the same way, Alonso has showed his capacity of adaptation to distinct systems, an appearance that is very of the taste of Xavi, since east has tried 'flexibilizar' the 4-3-3 traditional of the Barça if the party requires it. Like this then , the new signing of the club presents him a series of alternatives by the left lane, due to the fact that east has developed his game under the orders of trainers of big tactical wealth like Maurizio Sarri, Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel, being able to manage in different systems like the 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 3-4-3 and 3-5-2.

A 'puzzle' by the left

In the meantime, Marcos arrives to the square of Hernández in research to achieve the titularity by the left band. The arrival of the Madrilenian to the City Condal will not affect the plans of the club with Balde, to the one who Xavi follows him having in his plans in spite of the 'overbooking' of left sides. The one who if it would see affected is Jordi Alba, that could see like his minutes diminish considerably to keep the low level that has showed in the last meetings. A beautiful 'headache' for the egarense.
