The victory of the FC Barcelona on the Alavés went back to cause adjust in the tactical diagram of Xavi Hernández. The Catalan trainer fight for finding the suitable alignment, what results in constant changes, especially in the defence. In the recent clash against the Sportive, witness a defensive line something complex, with Koundé and Íñigo Martínez like couple of head offices, Araújo in the right band and Cancel in the left, a configuration that seems to have good die results.
The side showed a more stood out level that in other parties, showing his versatility when playing with the foot changed. Even we saw it star incursions to the centre that were near to turn into goals. Nevertheless, the party concluded with his turn to the right band after the entrance of Balde in the minute 70 by Koundé. However, the exert of the Portuguese in the contrary side has contributed new dimensions to the team.
In the thirteen consecutive titularities of Cancel in the city Condal, have seen it exert in diverse positions, from right side until second pivote, going through inner right and even like extreme by the band against the Real Madrid. The last position that was missing was the one of the left lane, something that in his moment showed to be beneficial for the City of Guardiola. Being right-handed, the luso has the skill of recortar and centre with enclosed thread or launch it opened with the outside of the right foot.
A Balde 'insufficient'
The reality is that this Barça presents disequilibrium by the right, but lacks efficiency by the left. Raphinha And Lamine Yamal desbordan by the right, and with the absences of Alba, Ansu and Dembélé... All the left sector remains for Alejandro Balde. Although the jóven lateral initiates from the retaguardia and surpasses to a lot of rivals in speed, his precision in the area is not the expected. His six assistances of the season happened still have not equalised , with his only assistance being for Sergi Roberto in Granada. Now, with the inclusion of Jules, the idea to use three head offices together with the '2' earn more felt in the diagram of the trainer.
And it is that Balde is not showing the level that was used to to have. His performance has diminished notably, and the technician is conscious of this. This season is not being the best for the Spanish, since it confronts problems with the injuries and a low performance, what has carried to the team to configure an eleven without having his presence. These are some of the reasons by which the seleccionador Spanish neither has deposited his confidence in him, opting by not to include it in the announcement for the current stop of selections.
