This is how the new Barça de Quique Setién would play

The past month of January, the FC Barcelona took the decision fulminante to sack to Ernesto Valverde, after the team fell deleted of the semifinals of the Supercopa of Spain against the Athletic of Madrid. The Barcelona club tracked the market, tanteó several options and, by distinct reasons, the elected finish being Quique Setién, without experience in a big but with a philosophy that fit to perfection with the club.

The challenge that the Cantabrian had by in front was capital, since it had to assume the reins of a powerful team, with the requirement to win titles and without time to prepare it everything by means of a pre-season. Setién Went in in the team showing his personality and, from the start, implanted a distinct diagram to the of his ancestors that based in a line of three central defences, carrileros long and two attackers.

The idea of the santanderino did not obtain good results, by what finally had to go back to rectify and bet again by the 4-3-3 classical. Of face to the next season, in spite of that the calendar will be tightened by the coronavirus and could not having time to do another pre-season, Setién could test again this 3-5-2 in which so much it trusted when it trained to the Real Betis.

It is necessary to explain that, although the financial capacity of the FC Barcelona is not to throw rockets by fault of the stop, will look for formulas to be able to reinforce the staff with the signings that wish that, at present, are the ones of Neymar, Lautaro Martínez, a central and a midfield player of physical cut. With all these reinforcements, Setién will be able to adapt better his idea of game, in place to find with a team already fact.

Like this it would adapt Setién the team to his initial idea

One of the big aims of the FC Barcelona of face to the next season is the one to do with a central defence that give guarantees to the team. Gerard Hammered, Clément Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti are the only that there is to day of today in the staff, and the frank-Cameroonian is transferible. This third head office could occupy the third place in the line of three of the Barcelona, beside Hammered and Lenglet.

Setién Would employ two long sides, with more freedom to incorporate to the attack giving amplitude by the bands. Here, Jordi Alba would be a fundamental player in the left profile whereas, if it goes Nélson Semedo, the right profile could occupy it Sergi Roberto or an extreme reconverted (something that the Cantabrian already arrived to employ in some party when it arrived planting here to Ansu Fati). Ousmane Dembélé, that in some party played here with Valverde, or Antoine Griezmann by his capacity of work would be possible options, whereas Ansu Fati could repeat in this position of false carrilero.

In the centre of the field, will require a lot of control, although also work. Sergio Busquets would be the base of the team, whereas to his side would have to have men that ensured the pass, like Frenkie of Jong and Arthur Melo, or also this hard-working midfield player that the club walks looking for. We remember that Carles Aleñá will return to the team, whereas Arturo Vidal and Ivan Rakitic could leave.

Finally, in this hypothetical 3-5-2, expects that Leo Messi was the stick by the centre, the mediapunta with freedom that would link the centre of the field with the forward. By in front of the 10, there is numerous combinations that could give depending on if finally they arrive Neymar or Lautaro, or of if they concretise courses like the ones of Griezmann or Dembélé.
