Frenkie de Jong could bring back the four-half system

The FC Barcelona needs to give a twist to his current situation. Although before the international stop attained a victory against the Alavés (2-1), the Barcelona cast follows without finding effective solutions to give him greater rhythm to his game, that lately has seen particularly slow and carente of answer in the front of attack.

In this sense, Xavi Hernández, the one who in a moment promised to enter tactical variants to change the face of the team, as it informed in 'SPORT', could be considering adjust the tactical diagram, happening of the classical 4-3-3 in attack to an approach in which it prioritise populate the central zone with four mediocampistas.

The one of Terrassa has used this system in more than an occasion, with one of them acting as false extreme. That reflected when, in the previous campaign, Hernández explained in the terrain of game with Pedri, Frenkie of Jong, Sergio Busquets and Pablo Gavi. This last, given his polivalencia, could appear by the left extreme and integrate also in the medullary zone.

It will go back Xavi to work with a diagram of four midfield players?

In this plan, although unfortunately it will not be able to have the presence of the Andalusian midfield player, the square culé still has players to populate this zone of the field, especially with the return of Frenkie of Jong, the one who together with Pedri González and Ilkay Gündoğan would have to be immovable pieces of this medullary zone.

Now, if Xavi finishes decanting for entering this tactical variant, it would be necessary to value which would be the mediocampista chosen by him to take this role of fourth man. This, of course, could be tied to what require the meeting, as if it needs a more defensive player, the name of Oriol Romeu would have quite a lot of options to go in, more if it values the fact of the very that has worked the one of Ulldecona with the Dutch to his side. Nevertheless, if it requires of a more offensive and dynamic profile, the bet would be clearly by Fermín López.

The tactical change of the Barça would give in a moment complex of the campaign

Voucher recalcar that the past season, when it made this change, the Barcelona cast began to be more consistent in the generation of game and, perhaps the most stood out, in the defence, where the Barça turned into an authentic fortín inexpugnable, what was fundamental so that the ones of Xavi topped champions of LaLiga.

However, it is not less important the fact that the tactical variants, whose efficiency in the short term is unknown, will give in a complex context. The Barça has by in front, in addition to the clash against the Ray Vallecano (25/11), a crucial party by the leadership of the Group H in the Champions League in front of the Port wine (28/11) and two difficult parties against the Athletic of Madrid (03/12) and the Girona (10/12), two clear contendientes in the fight by the title. It will be necessary to see if finally Xavi decides to bet by this change.
