Under the orders of Ronald Koeman, the defenders of the Barça have marked between all 17 goals, the same that in the 2011-2012 and 2014-2015

One of the keys of the 'resurreción' of the FC Barcelona in this 2021 has been the efectivad goleadora of the players, an appearance that in the beginning of course there was queddo in discussion by fault of puntería and 'shine' of the footballers. Nevertheless, in this year the history has been very different.

And it is that in this course, in specific, Ronald Koeman has achieved something that the Barça did not attain from the campaign 2014-2015 and with a lot of margin of improvement, by the seven parties that remain for contesting. The Dutch has emulated what did in his stage like player, accustomed to annotate golazos, and has transmitted it to his players.

Like this then , the Barça has to the defence with more goal of this century, with 17 so many between the eight defenders. Seven targets more than the past season (10) and, as it remembers 'Sportive World', more than the 14 achieved 2018-2019, the 12 of the 2017-2018, the 11 of the 2016-2017 and 2015-2016, the same that in the 2014-2015, the 16 of the 2013-2014, the 12 of the 2012-2013 and the also 17 of the 2011-2012.

The last goal of a defender culé has been the one of Ronald Araújo, in front of the Getafe, in the 'manita' of the culés in the Camp Nou. The charrúa, that there was ocasionado some penal minutes before by a pisotón in the area, dressed of hero for his team and, when more they were suffering the culés, marked of head after a shot of Leo Messi from the corner, to add his second so much with the Barça.

The 'evolution' of the defenders

It is not a secret for anybody that, in the beginning of the season, the defensive saga was the sector of the feeblest field for the team. By fault of concentration, irregularity and injuries, the blaugrana committed a lot of errors that went a complete punishment for the club, especially in the start of LaLiga.

However, Koeman has done a lot of changes to achieve that the culés shine in the defence and are less predictable, but reliable. This has ocasionado that, besides, see with the capacity to jump to the attack and contribute in the task of the goal to help to the forwards.
