FC Barcelona has started the season with three consecutive victories, plus a draw, which has them fighting for the top positions in LaLiga. The culés have left positive news, but there are also aspects to improve

Calendar of FC Barcelona

They go four chapters of the history of the FC Barcelona in the season 2023/2024 and, although it still is very soon to take out conclusions, himself that have remained clear the first feelings of the team of Xavi Hernández, that has not followed a fixed line in the beginning of LaLiga and has had some altibajos. Still it remains a lot for improving, but the course is very long and there will be sufficient time for the corrections.

The blaugrana add three victories followed, in front of Cádiz (2-0), Villarreal (3-4) and Osasuna (1-2), in addition to a tie in front of the Getafe (0-0) in which it has remained more than clear the competitiveness of a Barça that has not hid and that, although in a lot of moments has not felt dominador, has struggled to the end to take out positive results. It is the most positive point of this team in the start suspender belt.

Competitiveness to the maximum for the Barça

The players have taken seriously the challenge to compete and try revalidate the title that already achieved the past year. In The Ceramics saw how could impose to the adversities and keep the calm, although they arrived to see by behind in the marker after going winning 0-2 in less than fifteen minutes. They have been many the alternatives that has proposed Xavi, but without place to doubts the big hierarchies of the staff are those that have imposed .

The individual performance has been by in front of the community. Players like Jules Koundé or Frenkie of Jong have turned into the big leaders of the team and the positive performance has seen reflected in these first four parties. The central French has returned to the axis of the defensive saga and has turned into an authentic wall and also has appeared like goleador, as well as an Of Jong that is in a level estratoférico and is being key in all the facets of the game of the team.

The goal and leadership, more delivered

It is another key point in this campaign. In the past course, the parties resolved , in a lot of occasions, thanks to the performances of Marc-André ter Stegen and Robert Lewandowski, but in this prodrían have more leaders and responsible. Koundé And Of Jong have been the most stood out, but also is necessary to take the hit taking of decisions of Ílkay Gündogan or the apparition of Lamine Yamal, the one who to a very short age is despuntando like one of the big stars of the team.

In this same section, has remained clear that the responsibilities goleadoras have remained much more delivered. They have annotated eight goals in four parties with Robert Lewandowski (2), Ferran Torres (2), Pedri, Gavi, Of Jong and Koundé. Between less it was necessary the constant apparition of the Polish forward, more 'solve' will be the team.

Xavi, with several points to correct

No everything is colour of rose, in any case. To the team have noticed him many fail in this start of season that will have to correct Xavi in the weeks to come. In spite of the positive results, competitiveness and tireless fight, the Barça has not had moments to feel solvent or clear dominador. Lis has cost horrors feel protagonists and dominate by long periods.

Especially in front of teams very orderly defensivamente (case Osasuna), notice the lacks of the team and a surprising inability to impose in the duels and keep active of face to the attack. They are more the occasions in which it seems impossible to generate superiorities from the centre of the field (although it plays with four means for this), that those that the team feels solvent.

Step forward to collective level

It will be vital that the team grow and improve collectively, in addition to beginning to improve the tactical interpretations and can adapt to the different stages that can him present. They are many the occasions in which it has looked for the external pass before 'mature' the played and has finished prejudicing to the team. To his time, although have an average of two goals by party, has noticed how are necessary a lot of occasions to be able to impose.

The Barça, although it lives in rival field, costs him more generate clear occasions. Lewandowski Did reference recently to that it was because they played two attackers, only, and of some way with the square in the centre of the field the Barcelona have to look for the formula to balance in the attack, especially in front of rivals more ordered in defence.

Too many goals fit!

In the creation of played and offensive power is not the only that it is necessary to improve, because for the moment they have fit too many goals. They have been four in four parties and supposes an unexpected situation, knowingly that in the past season to these heights only had fit a target. In fact, they happened nine days so that they fit four goals in the past course.
