Gundogan, Pedri, De Jong and Gavi: The four 'wizards' for Barça's midfield

The FC Barcelona has fulfilled his first aim of the market of signings estival of this 2023. Ílkay Gündoğan, officially, has turned into Barcelona player with the intention to lead the centre of the field by the next two seasons, with option to a more. Xavi Hernández had insisted, of tireless way, in his incorporation to give more strength to the medullary.

Waiting for that confirm who will be the elected to occupy the position of the pivote (or if Gündoğan or Frenkie of Jong will assume the role), the midfield adds important names for the season that comes. The intention of the culés is to go back to dominate from the medullary and impose in all the parties, by what the arrival of the Teutonic gives a 'plus' very notable. It is a player that can split in all the profiles and that it can be key.

Four magicians for three positions?

In this last course, Xavi opted for playing with a mediocentro (Sergio Busquets), surrounding it of two interiors, Frenkie of Jong in a defensive profile and Pedri González more offensive, with Gavi splitting as false extreme in the left. It was the ideal formula to play with four means and have more control, but will remain to see if it will repeat the drawing or, in question, see how will adapt it... Especially if it arrives a new pivote.

The true is that, for the moment, everything seems to indicate to that Gundogan will be the 'star' of the centre of the field. Him sobran reasons. It has showed to be a footballer with a technical level above the usual, that knows how print pause to the played, but that also speeds up when it requires . It reads, in the precise moment, what needs the team and, especially, takes out gold of where there is bronze. It is used to to stroll by all the positions, but is like interior with arrival where more stands out.

Gündoğan Will play near of Lewandowski

Everything seems to indicate to that Xavi will try to explode the best virtues of the international with Germany and that, andn his 'squared' in the centre of the field, will situate him the nearest to the '9' possible, in this case Robert Lewandowski. And it is that Gündoğan can be a concerning the hour to promote the attack of the team, especially in the arrival from second line (where the Barça already had a lot of problems and left to lose a lot of opportunities in the past course). It can be the antidote to the problems.

Of rest, it will be necessary to see how the trainer egarense administers the leadership of the players. In addition to the German, Pedri, Frenkie and Gavi aim to have a lot of minutes during the course, but -for example- foresees that the Canarian between more in rotation to avoid that they repeat , once again, the physical problems to consequence of the big quantity of minutes that plays. Xavi him dosificará, surely, so that it follow the ascending line that has had up to now.
