Without having become indisputable headline, Paulinho has turned into an indispensable piece in the FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde. The Brazilian has won a place with some very distinct characteristics to the usual midfield players of the Catalan group, but showing that it can be useful like any. The goal is his best letter of presentation.
Because in spite of starting from the medullary, the one of Sao Paulo is already the third maximum scorer of the Barcelona, only by behind Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. Getafe, Eibar, Athletic and Leganés have checked that mark is not only thing of forwards, and besides his statistical plant him to the rhythm of the best.
Because the average scorer of Paulinho is of a so much each 102 minutes, by behind Edinson Cavani (67'), the Kun Agüero (75'), Robert Lewandowski (77,6'), Gabriel Jesús (86) or the own Messi (90), but by in front of some of the greater specialists of the goal of the world. Without going more far, Paco Alcácer (135') or Suárez (160') are by detras, but also are it Neymar (115') or Romelu Lukaku (135'), by not speaking of the members of a cracked 'BBC'.
Much more
But although his ease scorer is the quality that more calls the attention, is not the only that Paulinho is contributing to the Barça. In addition to offering his recognised physical waste, has known to adapt to the game of touch that impera in his new team, adding security in the aerial balloons and an argument more in the pressure. The paulista is the best example of the that the fact to be a distinct player does not mean that it can not fit.
