The Barça improves: Good feelings against the big

It is difficult to leave the controversy to a side, but the analysis of Valencia-FC Barcelona allows to take out some conclusions more. It was a very difficult exit and of the less expected way has finish complicating, just when the panorama seemed more promising. However, the team continues in an ascending line and the symptoms of improvement every time are clearer.

Although it still remains a lot of work for doing, pasito to pasito the players go receiving communion with the ideas of Ernesto Valverde, adherent to build his project as they command the books: From the defence. With the invaluable help of Ter Stegen and Umtiti, the Barcelona always try to cancel the dangers before translating his in advantages in the marker.

The training 4-4-2 does that the otrora vertiginous attack of the Barça was something slower, but does already some meetings that the footballers have begun to take him the tarpaulin. Fault a lot that afilar in the tip of attack of the culés, but interventions like the one of the omnipresente Paulinho or the encouraged Paco Alcácer do that Leo Messi and Luis Suárez do not remain so isolated up.

Although it is true that the majority of the big parties have saldado with ties, the feelings have been better of what has reflected the marker. Home sucumbieron the Juventus (3-0) and the Seville (2-1), and was equalised in front of Athletic (1-1), Juventus (0-0) and Valencia (1-1), but there are several appearances to analyse on as they arrived the results.

The turn against the Italians turned into a formality and this noticed on the lawn, in which Ernesto Valverde did not want neither risk to Leo Messi of start. The calendar also plays, although it does not be necessary to forget that in an eliminatory the pass had been for the Catalans.

In the victory against the hispalenses criticised the adjusted of the electronic, but by occasions of ones and others (the Seville hardly had a pair) the balance could be very distinct. Besides, as in front of Valencia, the first part of the Barça was promising, with a high level of game in spite of the modifications in the alignment. The more criticable of both duels is that the team seemed to be short of petrol, doing too many grantings after the rest and giving life to his rivals, precisely to the reverse of what occurred the day of Wanda Metropolitan.

The subject Dembélé

With the FC Barcelona growing in base to a 4-4-2, it will be necessary to see which is the decision of Ernesto Valverde when it recover to the that had to be the relief in the trident, the bullicioso Ousmane Dembélé. Rehabilitation and adaptation go to go of the hand in his first parties, but expects that his turn give a plus of mordiente to the attack culé, precisely the section where are arriving more reproach.

If the defences concern to close a new threat, Leo Messi and Luis Suárez will play more freed, something that already occurred with Neymar and that it can improve with the French, more sacrificed in defence of what was the Brazilian, and although no so decisive up, yes very desequilibrante. Case aside will be the signings, if they arrive in winter. It remains a lot for doing, but this Barça already promises.
