In the football the things change very fast, and what does some weeks seemed penalties, have gone back joys for the Barça, that desborda optimism after a start of promising season. Good part of the fault has it Ernesto Valverde, that seems to have given with the key after some proofs in the Barcelona training.
They were usual the changes and the experiments in his first days in the City Condal, with a hard toll paid in the Supercopa, but after some doubts have arrived the certainties, and seems that this project already have some bases been used to from which mature. Shelving the individual joys in cases like the one of Semedo, this team already has a new version.
Taking nuances of Guardiola and Luis Enrique, but with his own personality, Valverde has found the balance that had lost him to the Barça. It is prompt to take out conclusions, but with 12 goals annotated in the last four parties and any fit, the Txingurri has won something of credit.
Messi, the key
As it is used to to be usual for many years, the key in the game of the Barça goes back to be Leo Messi, author of more than half of the so many Barcelona in the last days -7, and some more than escaped -. The Argentinian has abandoned the band to command from the centre, already was in the medullary, in the half tip or in the forward, and for the moment seems that anybody has found him solution.
The work of Suárez, Deulofeu or Dembélé, more hit to the sides and tracing diagonal to the centre, sustains better the defence, and the attack is not resintiendo because the incoporaciones from backwards go back to work. A fact to stand out is the depth of the sides, with a Semedo each looser day and Jordi Alba desatado, as it did years that no saw him .
With only adjust some metres, this Barça has changed completely of face, and this, with permission of Messi, is tarpaulin of Valverde, that now sees with other eyes the 4-3-3. The seasons do not judge at the beginning, but for the moment the confidence has dressed of Barcelona and this team, again, goes back to work.
