All the combinations for Barça's midfield with Oriol Romeu

The signing of Oriol Romeu will allow to Xavi Hernández present different onces depending of the type of party. Nowadays there are five solvent footballers in the medullary that have a place ensured inside the FC Barcelona, what will allow to the technician do all the pertinent rotations in several diagrams of game. These would go from the traditional 4-3-3 until the 4-4-2 system with four midfield players.

Xavi will have his preferences

So much Ilkay Gündogan like Frenkie of Jong, Gavi and Pedri join to the canterano culé like important pieces of the trainer for this campaign 2023/24. A priori, it would be Pedri the one who would split with advantage like intocable inside the alignments thanks to his remarkable 'DNA Barça' and to the evolution that has had along the years.

To the Canarian joins him Frenkie by his adaptation and good feelings in the last course, whereas Gündogan will contribute the experience in big stages after winning the 'triplete' with the Manchester City. The 'false extreme' is the position that usually occupies Gavi inside the system with four midfield players, although it would be the one who would add fewer integers in the medullary in front of his others mates. Although Romeu still has to adapt to the requirements of Xavi, the true is that his role like pivote leave him with big options to be leading.

4-4-2 system

The míster used this training in different commitments when it needed to have absolute control of the spherical. The possession always has been key in the Barça and would be Oriol, Of Jong, Gündogan and Pedri those that would conform this alignment, guaranteeing a good cut of balloon and also arrivals to the rival arch. Another variant is to include to Gavi by the German and leave him more opened by one of the bands, something that already did during the final of the Supercopa of Spain in front of the Real Madrid (3-1).

Besides, the Dutch also could act like pivote in this diagram and leave to Oriol like spare, something that also would like a lot to Xavi taking into account the big chemical that exists between Pedri and Gavi. In this case it would be Gündogan the one who would close the quartet to help to Frenkie in the recovery of balloon and also in the transfer to the mates in the front of attack.

Traditional 4-3-3

Already going in of full in the traditional 4-3-3 that so much characterises to the Barcelona, are Oriol, Pedri and Gündogan those that will have to know during this turns of pre-season to create chemistry on the terrains of game. Any of the three have played together and will need minutes in the United States if they want to consolidate a solid trio.

Also it is the option to integrate to Of Jong by the ex City and situate him like an interior beside the Canarian, what would give him freedom by all the medullary like driver of game. This also would benefit to the extremes and would allow to the Barça generate more danger in attack. Finally it is the option of Gündogan and Pedri like interiors and Frenkie like pure pivote. Already in the happened the technician has left clear that does not see to the international with the Low Countries like a mediocentro defensive when it plays with alone three midfield players, since it loses pressure in the high sector of the field. It would be the last training inside the plans of Xavi.
