The FC Barcelona has lived recently some a bit turbulent days. Although, excepting the Classical, the Barça came with a true step arrollador in all the competitions, Xavi Hernández and his 'staff' have had to lidiar with a clear and evident problem: the injuries in key demarcations of the terrain of game.
Fortunately, of the six lesionados that remained in the Barcelona infirmary, three already are in the dynamics, as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Koundé, this last recovered in record time, shortening until in two weeks his process of recovery. Nevertheless, to the Barcelona cast still remain him for recovering three names, two of them vital in the diagram, like Frenkie of Jong and Pedri González, those who, together with a good revulsivo like Sergi Roberto, look forward to to go back to have prompt action.
Of Jong and Koundé, vital players in the circuit of passes of the Barça
A notable data that it is necessary to stand out regarding the absences is the performance of the Dutch and the French in LaLiga. In spite of having been lesionados during some days, are the players with the greater tax of go through party, with 94.3 for the midfield player and 72.2% for the defender, and also have the greater percentage of tarpaulin, with 94% and 92% respectively.
This is important for dimensionar the impact of the absence of both pieces in the Catalan square. No only they are stellar players, but they exert specific roles in the terrain of game and in the gear of the Barça.
Koundé, key for the exit with balloon from the bottom
On the one hand, the native of Paris, one of which more minutes has accumulated with Xavi up to now in this season, is a defensive wall and also exerts a crucial paper in the clean exit from the defence with the balloon controlled. This task, in the actuality, has been assumed by Andreas Christensen, the one who also shows good numbers with an average of 67.6 go through party and 95.48% of precision.
However, in the last parties, although it has been solid in defensive works, the Danish has been a bit more restricted in his offensive functions. This, added to the lower participation of Iñigo Martínez and Ronald Araújo in the construction of the game from the defence, does evident that the absence of the French limits to the Catalan cast in a resource that has been vital for the club along his history.
Of Jong, necessary for the armed of game in the midfield
Neither speak in the medullary zone, where the presence of the Dutch has gone back more imperiosa. From his course, can say that the midfield of the Barça has experienced a remarkable transformation. Although Ilkay Gündogan no desentona in the works of pass, with an average of 55.18 go through party and 89.4% of precision, desaprovecha his capacity goleadora when it finds more near of the rival area.
Besides, the absence of Frenkie of Jong has left to the discovered the deficiencies of Oriol Romeu, the one who has showed a quite low level since the exjugador of the Ajax is not beside him in the medullary zone. Fortunately, Gavi and Fermín have had a good exert in this area, but with them loses a bit the cohesion between lines of pass. Of Jong is expert in connecting the defence and the attack, exerting a paper of 'todocampista' that odd in the City Condal. His return expects with anxieties, since his presence revitalizará the game of the Barça and will give him back some stray dynamism.
