The return to the classic 3-5-2 of Koeman did not sit well with Barça

Although it was not the key of the defeat of the FC Barcelona in Austrian earths against the Salzburg, the change of system that Ronald Koeman entered for the party did not help precisely to the culés to win to to the Network Bull. The Dutch trainer decided to return to his already classical 3-5-2 and left backwards the 4-3-3 with which came playing along the pre-season and that up to now had worked very well.

It fits to remember that this training with three head offices, being Frenkie of Jong one of them, used it a lot along the second half of the past campaign. The Dutch midfield player did of líbero and added to the attack every time that it could when his team had the ball. In spite of this, the change did not do that the Barça attacked neither defended better and, in fact, went the meeting in which more clear occasions of goal conceded.

The physicist of the Salzburg marked the party and did that the culés was undressed in defence, especially to the against, in several occasions. It can that thinking in this Koeman decided to put three head offices, but the reality is that it did not achieve at all and the Barcelona suffered the same. After the defeat, is speaking a lot of this variation and many think that was an error return to this system with the very that was working the 4-3-3.

Koeman, by his part, defended the change to the 3-5-2​, although it left clear that does not have why be permanent. "It is important to change of system. I think that the system of three head offices gave us a lot the past season. Of all the data of the past season, say us that it was the one who was us better. We have to be able to go back to him and to change in half of a party. This does not want to say that it go to be our system", commented after the crash.

The true is that to the Dutch does not be missing him reason with this that comments, since the past season was this system the one who gave balance to a Barça that with the 4-3-3 descompensaba too much in defence and did not find balance in attack. Nevertheless, this course expects that the technician achieve that his team attain to adapt to the classical 4-3-3 that impera in the Barcelona from does years. In fact, it says that from the club urged him to leave backwards the three head offices when it confirmed him his continuity.

Koeman Could go back to the 4-3-3 in the Gamper

It will be necessary to see which raisin in the Gamper, since if it goes back to repeat with the three backwards and goes back to not working could have a lot of criticisms. The normal is that the míster of Zaandam decide to go back to the 4-3-3, but until it do not confirm only will be a supposition. The Sunday, the Juventus of Turín will go back to put to proof to the barcelonistas in which it will be the last duel of pre-season before the première in League.
