Some will say that the FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde is more defensive that the one of the last years, but will make a mistake. The word is balanced. The Barcelona group no only is knowing keep the goal to zero in the majority of parties this season 2017-18, but besides it achieves that the 'second unit' offer a big performance and keep always 'connected' to the team.
Although it conserves the philosophy and the characteristics of the Barcelona style, the new trainer of the FC Barcelona has known to retouch some appearances to improve the performance. Still it has not finish to convince regarding game, but the results do not do more than giving him the reason.
And no only in relation to the points and triumphs harvested, but the statistical goleadoras neither have resentful. After the dissolution of the trident that hoarded the production scorer of the Catalan group, with the course of Neymar, the Barcelona has known to conserve the potential goleador.
Proof of this is the goleada of this Wednesday in front of the Real Murcia (5-0), that allows to the ones of Valverde reach the 50 goals this season 2017-18, after they have contested 13 days of League, five of phase of groups of Champions League, the two parties of the Supercopa of Spain and the two of dieciseisavos of final of Glass of Rey. 50 goals in 22 parties, at all badly for a theoretically defensive team.
The Barça no longer depends only of Messi
Now mark is thing of all, and a proof is that under the orders of Valverde, already have 'wetted' until 15 distinct players, more than half of a staff that has 24. After the victory against the Murcia aimed Aleix Vidal to the 'car' of the goals this season 2017-18, but Alcácer, Denis, Arnáiz, Hammered, Deulofeu, Iniesta, Leo Messi, Luis Suárez, Paulinho, Busquets, Sergi Roberto, Jordi Alba, Ivan Rakitic and Lucas Digne already had done it sometime during the course.
What is attaining Ernesto Valverde during the course of the season is the excessive dependency of Messi, that for the moment keeps to the team with 16 goals in all the competitions, although underneath of him the targets are very delivered. Like curiosity, by the way, of the 50 goals annotated the Barça has benefited of five of the rivals in own door.
