Koundé, Lewandowski, Joao Félix… The 5 culés who must take a step forward in 2024

The FC Barcelona will return to the action next Thursday (in front of the UD The Palms) to begin a key month of face to the second half of the 2023/24. The calendar of January will be very hard for a Barça that it will have to play a minimum of six parties in four weeks (can be eight if the team advances of phase in Glass of Rey and Supercopa), by which this is the key moment so that the referents of the staff take a step forward.

This is the case of players like Robert Lewandowski, Joao Félix and Jules Koundé. Of the three, the Pole is the one who more critical has received in the last weeks because of his bad series goleadora. In spite of being the 'pichichi' of the team with 9 so many and 5 assistances, to the '9' has criticised him by his low level in thefield , failing very clear occasions and luciendo, by moments, desconectado in the parties.

Joao Félix and Koundé also have to wake up

In the cases of Joao Félix and Koundé, his irregularity has carried to Xavi Hernández to warn to the staff: from now on it will play the one who more merits do to be headline, incuyendo the physical condition. In spite of the pressure that supposes to play his future, practically, in each party, to the of Viseo has criticised him , mainly, an attitude displicente during several parties. No in vain, the luso had a series of 13 parties without converting.

By his part, Jules also has clear that, if it does not recover his best version in defence, so much Iñigo Martínez like Andreas Christensen have the necessary to remove him the place. In his last performances, the Frenchman committed errors in exit and marcación improper of a player of his hierarchy, by which in this moment the only indisputable in the Barcelona saga is Ronald Araújo. Xavi already has given a 'touch' to each one of them and, to continue the downward curve of performance, would not be descabelllado see to any one of the three (Féliz, Koundé and 'Lewy') increasingly minutes in the bench.

Raphinha And Pedri neither have to sleep

The own sucede with the pair Pedri-Raphinha. For the Canarian, everything goes through to leave backwards his ordeal of injuries, whereas the fault of puntería has been the main problem of the Brazilian. The '11', this yes, sum 7 assistances this season, but with a team with so many problems in attack expects much more of the of Carry Cheerful, considering that the club can sell him in summer if his performance and the financial situation do not improve.
