The defence keeps on being the headache of the Barcelona

The FC Barcelona follows having serious problems to the hour to organise in defence, in spite of the arrival of a new technician, with new ideas and approaches. Afterwards of the last stop of selections, the team culé so alone could do with four of 12 possible points in LaLiga, tournament in which had the desdicha to receive goals during the five last days, situation that was not common to see in previous years.

On the other hand, in the Champions League, contest that has served him to the Barcelona this season to hold something of confidence and seal important victories, the defenders of the club directed by Ronald Koeman have had to take out the balloon of his goal in two of the three meetings that has contested the team in the season. In spite of being invicto in his group and with a puntaje perfect, does not leave to be a worrisome situation.

In this sense, exist several clearly visible reasons by which the Barcelona does waters in defence of way so reiterativa. In the first place, the lack of a relief of guarantees for the pair of central defenders conformed by Gerdad Piqué and Clément Lenglet engages any party that any of the two can not contest. In this sense, the main candidate is Ronald Araújo, the one who has not left a bad impression while it has seen minutes but at present finds lesionado; whereas Samuel Umtiti has had a totally unimportant role in the season.

On the other hand, the sides are another difficult subject to handle for the technical body of Ronald Koeman. By the right has to Sergi Roberto, the one who has showed a lot of irregularity while it has exchanged the role of carrilero with his original position in the midfield and, to Sergiño Dest, the one who is recently arrived and, although it has left good impressions, follows adapting. By left, the Barcelona has Jordi Alba, the one who is showing a big level but could suffer of a lot of wear in the season, since the one who would have to be his acting, Junior Firpo, does not offer guarantees to cover the position.

The tactics also breaks to the defence

Further of the situation of unsteadiness with which the names that conform the defence of the FC Barcelona have initiated the season, another of the situations that prejudices clearly to the retaguardia of the team is the tactics with which the diagram in yes exerts the defensive work. In this sense, has been able to observe how the losses of balloon in key moments of the majority of the commitments have left extremely vulnerable to the team to the counterattacks of the contrary.

But to his time, further of the constant losses of balloon in the worst possible moments, the positioning of the team to the hour that they produce said circumstances is another of the problems that has crucificado in more than an occasion to the club, since the mediocampistas of first line that are ranged by Koeman are used to to exert pressure very up. This brings his profits, but also conditions to the same to the hour to have to return to collaborate with the defenders and brake a counterattack.
