For this, the extremeño has marked a leaf of route with some very clear steps. It wants that in the year that begins notice his footprint in the team, but also has a mission that will be key: recover the good habits. Already it confessed it in his first statements like barcelonista, in which it warned that it does not be necessary to touch what the staff already does well, and now pretends to put it in practice.
Possession, mobility and defensive balance are the concepts innegociables that Valverde pretends to implement in his Barça, and for this wants to throw the sight backwards to collect the goodnesses that already reflected his ancestors.
The aims of Ernesto Valverde
Dominate and contraatacar
With Guardiola the Catalan group was dominador until the point to crush to his rivals, and although with Luis Enrique lost something of this stamp, won a weapon that the one of Santpedor had left parked, the counterattack. The Txingurri wants that his team carry the control, but will not renounce to a filón that the MSN has showed that it can turn into lethal. If the passes can not open the defences, will take advantage of the spaces to the against.
Move up, capital
Another of the characteristics that has to gather the Barça of Valverde is the mobility in attack, a resource that already applied to perfection the Eto'or, Henry and Messi and that Leo has perpetuated with the rest of his partners, now Suárez and Neymar. No only the trident, but the rest of forwards and midfield players, and even the sides, have to take into account that the changes of position and the occupation of the spaces are the key in the Barcelona offensive, and that his good operation will be decisive to the hour to annotate.
The defence, indispensable
Although the main stamp of the Barça is to be a very offensive team, fits to remember that the defence has been a mainstay in the achievement of the successes of the last years. The team attacks wonderfully, but also has known to protect of the best way when the goals have not arrived. In the past campaign cost to keep to except the goal, and that's why the Txingurri pretends to recover an effort that allow to establish the balance. If the wear of the own players does not give to fulfil in both sides of the field, the signings or a change in the training will approach the aims. Everything for resurrecting again to a Barça champion.
