The fact that could reveal Koundé's defensive attitude

For anybody is a secret that the FC Barcelona has had like his big heel of Achilles the defensive section in this campaign. It suffices with comparing the registers of the previous season, where grieve received 46 annotations in 53 meetings, with the ones of this period, in which the Barcelona picture, with several commitments still by in front, already has conceded 52 so many in hardly 39 duels.

Precisely, one of the distinguished by this defensive disaster has been the French Jules Koundé. After a first season in which it established like a 'escudero' of wide guarantees, exerting as much as right side as in the saga, in his second campaign like culé has seen him a bit more endeble and errático, committing more than a failure that has carried to annotations or situations of danger in profit of the contrary.

The data that speaks of the defensive work of Koundé in this campaign

In this sense, recently has given to know a curious data that has opened the debate on if the native of Paris is or not defending with the worthy intensity of a group of first level like the FC Barcelona. In the parity against the Athletic Club (0-0), Koundé received his first yellow card in this season of LaLiga. This detail can interpret of two forms: or it is defending of way very clean, to the point of not committing any infringement, or is not defending with the sufficient physical hardness as for propiciar strong entrances that deserve cautions.

It fits to stand out that his mates in the defensive zone, in his majority, have received more yellow cards that he in LaLiga. For example, Ronald Araújo already has accumulated five yellow cards, Andreas Christensen and Joãor Cancel four, and Iñigo Martínez three, whereas the French finds empatado with Pau Cubarsí with only a caution. Between all they, is important to stand out that Jules Koundé is one of the players of the Barça that has had more action in this season.

However, when comparing the data with the past period (2022-23), in the same point of the campaign, the French also had only a yellow card in LaLiga, received in the day 21 against the Villarreal CF. Nevertheless, the data highlights more in the actuality due to the fact that the season happened the Catalan picture had flawless defensive registers. In front of the defensive deficiencies that has showed the team in this stretch, this detail has earned greater importance for Jules Koundé that, although it seems to be improving, continue being one of the elements of the defence that is low constant scrutiny, until the point that it has considered prescindible in the next market of summer.
