The FC Barcelona began LaLiga Santander with good foot after golear to the Villarreal (4-0) in the official première of Ronald Koeman in the bench. With the Dutch technician, a lot of appearances of the game are beginning to change, something that is giving him a wash of face to a team that seems to have recovered the good feelings. To continuation, the big variations of the team with the change of trainer.
Change of system to 4-2-3-1
From the first moment, Ronald Koeman had clear that wanted to apply the 4-2-3-1 that so well had worked him in the Dutch selection and the first steps with said system invite to the optimism. With this change, besides, the Dutch has achieved that players like Frenkie of Jong or Philippe Coutinho play in his natural positions, by what his level has increased .
Ansu Fati And Coutinho, new pillars culés
In these first parties, have not changed too many names in the eleven of gala of the FC Barcelona, although there are two players that have purchased a lot of leadership. In the first place, an Ansu Fati that did not enjoy of the confidence of Quique Setién and that seems that with Ronald Koeman will be intocable. Second, Philippe Coutinho that it was demanded by the Dutch and that now has turned into a fundamental piece of attack in his new position of mediapunta.
It recovered the pressure
The FC Barcelona seems to have recovered this capacity of presionar up so that his rivals have more difficulties to the hour to take out the balloon played from backwards, although in some moments remained clear that it is necessary to improve in this appearance. Anyway, the Barcelona team won in defensive security and the Villarreal hardly generated occasions of goal.
Game more direct
It remained very clear from the first two goals of the FC Barcelona: with Ronald Koeman, wants to arrive with more speed to the rival goal. The first so much inición with a long pass of Clément Lenglet to Jordi Alba and, the second, with a contragolpe carried to perfection by Philippe Coutinho. They finish the eternal possessions and horizontals and begins an era in which it will have like aim play with more speed.
Leo Messi more freed
During the last seasons, have seen to Leo Messi that acted so much of playmaker as of finalizador. With Ronald Koeman, seems that the Argentinian will not have a so big influence in the preparation from so backwards and will go back to situate more near of the area to be able to define, although will have freedom by all the front of attack. As more near it receive of the goal, more dangerous will be and is thus that now will delegate the creation in players like Frenkie of Jong or Philippe Coutinho.
