Koeman Puts to cost the greater investments of the Barça in the last years

The FC Barcelona received an important sum of money with the course of Neymar to the PSG in 2017. Some 222 million euros ingresaron to the arks of the club for then, and the club that for then chaired Josep Maria Bartomeu decided to invest in the signings of Ousmane Dembélé, Antoine Griezmann, Frenkie Of and Philippe Coutinho.

In principle, it seemed that the investment was a despropósito, taking into account the quantity of which the club had and the performance that the players showed during his first seasons for some fans that expected positive and immediate results after the course of the Brazilian to the Parisian team. However, the work of Ronald Koeman seems to leave in evidence that varied of the signings were justified when taking out the best of them.

In front of the exit of key pieces like Suárez, Vidal or Arthur, the Dutch was forced to work with the pieces that had to his disposal. Over time, Koeman has known to put to tope to his physical players and mentally, what has translated in better results, when looking for maximizar his performance in the most favourable positions for them inside the field.

Griezmann, Of Jong and Dembélé, keys in the Barça of Koeman

The míster never left to believe in Griezmann, in spite of that his start with the club was full of clear occasions wasted of face to the rival arch. The French received a lot of criticisms, but Koeman knew to transmit him the necessary confidence and the improvement has been evident: the attacker seems to revive his best version with the Athletic. In this great season six goals and the same number of assistances, by what the cost of his index card (120 million euros) seems justified.

Of Jong neither seemed to fit in the Barça in spite of arriving pertinent of an affine school to the philosophy of game of the club. Neither Valverde neither Setién seemed to find the formula to take out the best of the Dutch. However, Koeman gave him a vote of confidence and opted for delaying it a bit in the field, taking into account that it already had directed to the player in the selection of the Low Countries. The change neither resulted, but decided that it had to play like interior, where has showed his best expensive, and already adds five goals.

Dembélé Did not have a good start with the Barcelona club. The injuries did not allow him surrender to tope after his arrival. Nevertheless, the technical body knew to detect to time the problems that ailed to the French, and the trainer has gone incorporating it paulatinamente to the titularity. The mental appearance also has been worked and today his presence in the field supposes a danger for the rivals, although still it is missing him pulir his facet goleadora.
