Barter of Arthur Melo by Miralem Pjanic, getting better for FC Barcelona

Since it arrived to the FC Barcelona, Arthur Melo showed to be an usually undisciplined footballer. In spite of that ilusionó to the barcelonismo when it arrived with some good parties like the 2-4 against the Tottenham Hotspur in Champions League or the 5-1 against the Real Madrid in LaLiga Santander, always showed that out of the field is somebody despreocupado that sometimes it does not act like a professional.

It began travelling to Paris to the nocturnal party of birthday of Neymar the day before the previous training to a Classical against the Real Madrid (in which, by the way, lesionó). In spite of that excused, in December of 2019 went to do snowboard being of drop by injury, infringiendo the internal code. This week, with his team playing LaLiga Santander, starred the sad image of the party with his yawns, almost remaining asleep.

In case all this was little, erased to play the last party of LaLiga this Sunday against the Sportive Alavés alleging a supposed annoyance in the ankle of which there is not neither medical report. The Brazilian has not played neither an alone minute since fichó by the Juventus, on the contrary of a Miralem Pjanic that, in spite of that signed by the FC Barcelona, has not gone down his level and keeps on being indisputable for Maurizio Sarri in this final stretch of season.

Miralem Pjanic Offers more than Arthur Melo

In general lines, the barcelonismo is showing very critical with the operation that the FC Barcelona derró with the Juventus of Turín. The main argument for this is that Arthur Melo is 23 years old (fulfils 24 in August) and has a lot of margin of improvement by in front, whereas Miralem Pjanic fulfilled 30 in April and will have less time by in front to explode his talent.

But we have to see it everything with perspective. Arthur Melo carries two years in the Barça and has not had continuity, already was by the injuries or because his performance has not stood out. Neither with Ernesto Valverde neither with Quique Setién has achieved to be usual headline, partly because it never has achieved to adapt to the diagram culé. It is too feeble defensivamente playing in the position of Sergio Busquets and too conservative in the pass to do it more advanced, as inner.

Instead, the FC Barcelona will incorporate to a todoterreno like Miralem Pjanic: reliable in the circulation of balloon, brilliant in the association, intelligent to recover balloons, formidable far fencer and an ace to unemployed balloon. It can play like mediocentro or of interior without problems, and always has been indisputable headline in all his teams. It is 30 years old, yes, but still they remain him varied to a big level, whereas Arthur Melo still has to show if it can be important in a team to the highest level.
