Rakitic Participates more than ever in the centre of the field

Already it does several weeks that come commenting the importance of Ivan Rakitic in the Barcelona from his arrival. One of the most profitable signings of the century, probably. The Croat has begun the course to a very high level. Indisputable headline for Valverde, his participation in the preparation of game is ostensiblemente upper in comparison with other campaigns.

Rakitic Occupies a lot of territory in the centre of the field. Beside Busquets, the man of greater confidence of Valverde -Iniesta and Roberto have gone alternating-. And it is not of extrañar, because the '4' collaborates in defensive matter and in this start of campaign is seeing much more involved in offensive appearances. The game happens more by his feet.

Indisputable headline in the important parties, because of his capacity of 'all-terrain' that allows him defend, attack and distribute the game with a big balance, in front of the Espanyol was again remarkable and gave an assistance of goal -the centre that finished Gerard Hammered-. 

As it can see in the tweet that attach at the end of the news, Rakitic had an average of 50 or less go through split in the previous editions of League. In these three first parties heaves until almost the 90. Signal that the game happens more by the medullary and the possession is purely Barcelona.

The goal will arrive

Another of the facets of Rakitic is his arrival. Has goal, good shot from the frontal of the area and does not go badly of head. For desatascar meetings can be important and in these years already have seen which is his capacity to see goal. A fundamental piece for Valverde.

You go through split of Rakitic since it is in the Barça:

· 2014-15 -> 54
· 2015-16 -> 49
· 2016-17 -> 48
· 3 parties of the 2017-18 -> 88
