The return of the 4-3-3 of the Barça and if it will go back for the end of the Glass of Rey

In front of the increasing doubt on that Koeman will give him to Gerard Hammered for the final of the Glass of the King of the Saturday against the Athletic, will add him the one of the tactical approach that the Dutch will establish to measure to the ones of Marcelino García Toral: If it will opt by a 4-2-3-1 or the 4-3-3.

The míster of the Barcelona began the season with a 4-2-3-1 like the best system for the staff and that affirmed that it would not change. However, in that then had to his disposal a fan of attacker footballers, but the injuries of Ansu Fati and Coutinho carried him to go to a 4-3-3 around the middle of December against the Raise to take out greater benefit of Frenkie Of Jong like todocampista beside Pedri.

Except some exceptions, this system kept until it began to do use of the 3-5-2 that resulted him very well in the duel against the Valladolid (0-3), although no so much against the Eibar home (1-1). The line of three head offices remained parked until, after the 1-4 fit in front of the PSG, gave a hit of rudder in a key duel in the Pizjuán in LaLiga.

The 0-2 gave him wings to repeat it in the Glass of the King to trace back and access to the final of said competition and reached his maximum expression futbolística in the duel of turn in corresponding Paris to the Champions. In spite of the 1-1, the Barça of Koeman embroidered the football in the first time with a recital of football, high pressure and generation of occasions. Before the stop suspender belt, the 1-6 against the Real Sociedad shot the euphoria as a result of the exhibitions of Dest and Jordi Alba in the bands.

However, the turn of the 'virus FIFA' decimated the performance with the three backwards, the long sides and Koeman changed in the rest going back to the 4-3-3 so much in front of the Valladolid as in the Classical. Product of the fault of energy to tighten to the rival with the balloon circulating to big speed, the plan To of the last month and half experienced another change.

In her they include the three parties of this season in front of the combined of "The Lions" with two victories in League (2-3 in Bilbao and 2-1 in the Camp Nou) and the defeat in the Supercopa during the extention (2-3). Always with 4-3-3, with Araujo behind, Of Jong in the interior twice and Dembélé-Messi-Griezmann at the front.

The precedents matter

The Barça shined in Bilbao with a big Pedri and Griezmann that went the best partners of Messi, went down his level in The Cartuja with a Messi waned, but with Griezmann bigoleador and finish winning tightening in the Stadium with goal of the "Principito" and Sergi Roberto reappearing like right interior in front of Mingueza. Koeman Is somebody that does not forget the precedents, by what has all a fan of options for the imminent party.
