Ronald Koeman will have to decide which is the tactical drawing and alignment that more suits him to the Barça to win the last parties of the season 2020-2021

Calendar of FC Barcelona

To the FC Barcelona remain him eleven finals for contesting in a period of month and half. 10 parties in League, with crashes in front of the Real Madrid to domicile or in front of the leader, the Athletic of the 'Cholo' Simeone, in the Camp Nou, but also the final of the Glass of Rey, against the AthleticBilbao . A series of clashes in which the Barça will not be able to fail and that suppose a challenge for Ronald Koeman to the moment to decide who will be the elected to look for the victories.

If there is something that has characterised to the Dutch from his arrival to the Camp Nou is that no 'house' with any player neither tactical system. It has happened of the 4-2-3-1, to the 4-3-3, and different variations until arriving to the 3-5-2 (or 5-3-2, to the hour to defend) that has showed, finally, the best version of this Barça. With this drawing, the Barcelona group plays with three head offices, more together, and with the sides almost like extremes, something that has benefited the offensive game of the team and allows that they are less the errors to the hour to defend.

Before the international stop, in front of the Real Sociedad, the ones of Ronald Koeman gave a big hit on the table with a goleada that left a lot of points to analyse in all the sectors of the field and that, more important still, is a 'advance' of what the blaugrana will show of here from now on, as long as the one of Zaandam keep the drawing, with some variations in the alignment.

The question is that in Anoeta (and in front of the Seville, Huesca and Osasuna) saw a defensive efficiency that anybody expected , considering the individual errors that the Barça committed until does few weeks. To his time, in the attack there is more freedom, what has caused that Leo Messi have more opportunity to do with the balloon and create played that, although they are typical of him and 'Made in Barça', had time without seeing. Besides, Ousmane Dembélé has benefited because has more space to run, desbordar and create danger, to the equal that Antoine Griezmann, that achieves to stand out with the game asociativo so much with the midfield players as with Leo Messi or Jordi Alba.

Only it is missing to see if Koeman will give continuity to this system or, as it already has done in other opportunities, will go back to try experience and 'revolutionise' to the team. For now, the trainer is working with few players, in the middle of the international commitments, and wait that any key player lesione with his selection, because it could be a new headache for the team, that already has suffered sufficient this season with the injuries.

The dilemmas of the alignment of the Barça

Another appearance that surely the Dutch is considering is that after the stop FIFA goes to recover to more footballers. Gerard Hammered and Sergi Roberto (in addition to Ronald Arajújo, that already has tested in the last weeks with the team) will be smart to return and Koeman will have to pose who will be the sacrificed in the current alignment of the team, especially to defensive level, where recovers to all his effective.

In this sense, is very likely that are Hammered and Araújo those who accompany to Clément Lenglet in the defensive axis, by what Óscar Mingueza, that has fulfilled to perfection, will be the big prejudiced. Besides, it will be necessary to see how handles Koeman the distribution of minutes between Sergiño Dest and Sergi Roberto or if it will be finally the international by United States the one who play it all, by his exert in the last month.

With the return of the ideal defence, Frenkie of Jong will be able to go back to his original position in the centre of the field, beside Sergio Busquets (to the one who the change of drawing has fallen him of wonders because it visits fewer metres) and Pedri González, whose exert never has any asterisk. Finally, in the forward opens a new debate, with three players to 100% and two places. Of the titularity of Messi does not doubt , in nigún moment, and Ousmane Dembélé has done sufficient merits to accompany to the Argentinian, by what, again, Griezmann would be the sacrificed.
