It continues the dispute of the first day of the World-wide of Russia and go accumulating the surprises, that are arriving in shape of tropiezos for the big favourite. In his première in the championship, Brazil has not been able to happen of the tie in front of Switzerland, in a clash of the that has taken good note the FC Barcelona.

The Catalans had two footballers in the eleven headline that have been important for the 'seleçao', with Paulinho and his usual deployment in the centre of the field and Philippe Coutinho participating like left interior. The ex of the Liverpool has been protagonist in the first minutes, when it has attained to put by in front to the combined directed by Tite.

After a centre of Marcelo cleared by the defence, the balloon has fallen in the feet of the carioca, that no has thought it to him twice. In the beak of the area, a zone that knows very well, has armed a shot so enroscado like powerful that has besado the square of the goal defended by Yann Sommer. Golazo Marks of the house.

Coutinho, better near of the goal

The problem for the Catalans is that although in other occasions has attained to shine in a more retarded position with the 'canarinha', in this has gone diluting until desconectarse too of the game, something that can not allow neither the Brazilians neither the Barcelona, that trust that the one of River cushion the exit of a reference like Andrés Iniesta.

The conclusion is that Coutinho has characteristics that allow him act like interior, but where surrenders better is something more advanced, with freedom to involve in the ending and more near of the goal. Although it already was an asiduo of the statistical scorers, in the last campaign multiplied his performance, leaving in the Liverpool and in the Barça varied finish of a lot of class.

The one who seems to have annotated this exception is Ernesto Valverde, that in the last months already defined him like a more offensive footballer that the captain. The change of plans in the market can benefit to the culés, because it could contribute a more specific midfield player that freed to Philippe in attacker questions. Although the World-wide do not play in the Camp Nou, there is a lot of party of which take note.
