Multipurpose Ivan Rakitic: The most polyvalent midfield player

It has been key piece in the successes of the FC Barcelona in the last years, and not even the arrival of a new trainer has changed his hierarchy in the team. Ivan Rakitic keeps on being indispensable in the Camp Nou, as much as is it in his selection. Surpassing a new tactical change, the Barcelona has helped to Croatia to give a big step to the World-wide.

Because in the night of the Thursday, Zlatko Dalic has opted for planting to one of his references as '4' pure, disassembling the double pivote that in the last times came forming beside Luka Modric. With the madridista desatado in offensive tasks, where has shined like antaño, the ex of the Seville has devoted to save the position and to begin the creation between the central.

Already it tried it Ernesto Valverde in Girona and his bet was equally positive. Without a clear spare for Sergio Busquets, the Croat fulfilled to perfection, as in all what command him. It finish in the Sánchez Pizjuán almost turn# into a leading second, and had to adapt to a more rigid diagram to his arrival to the City Condal. It gives the same.

Of interior, of pivote, more hit to the band or with more offensive freedoms, Ivan Rakitic always surrenders. It is difficult to see him heaving the voice but always finish sticking with his character. It has been to the orders of a lot of trainers and all have trusted him the key in his centre of the field. Polyvalent, sure and effective, has it everything.

Between rotations

If something had accused Rakitic in the last months was the wear that supposed not having relief in the Barça. His presence in the medullary had to help to Sergio Busquets, but without a physical and tactical profile as his neither there were solutions for a line that drowned with the requirement of the trident.

His performance was falling to measure that him 'melted' the batteries, but Ernesto Valverde seems to have given with the solution. Slowly it goes him giving gone in in his system of rotations, so slowly that the Möhlin follows having it played everything. It is the only Barcelona player with participation in all the commitments of the team, and however, has had minutes of rest. It is necessary dosificarle so that it hold during all the season, because, on the lawn, is importantísimo.
