Ílkay Gündogan Has turned into an indisputable player in the plans of Xavi Hernández in the FC Barcelona. It has played it practically all and does not seem to be by the work to go down the rhythm, because it is a very solvent footballer that can appear in distinct areas, assume different roles and push to the team to forward. The midfield player of the one thousand skins that so much wanted the trainer egarense from does a good time.
The step of the Teutonic by the City Condal is not being flawless and has left 'signals' that there is split that they cost him much more that others, but is a player with so many resources and a quality inagotable that results impossible that do not stand out every time that is on the terrain of game. Up to now, it had appeared much more like interior and also like the centocampista more advanced, almost 'hit' to the leading centre, but in front of the Seville has changed his role.
Gündogan And his new 'expensive' in the Barça
In several opportunities, especially in parties in which the Barça was by behind in the marker, had observed how Gündogan delayed his position in the medullary to leave spaces and that Raphinha appeared by the interior of the square of the centre of the field. The ex of the Manchester City remained like a pivote, but the demarcation has not been confirmed until the crash against the hispalenses, this Friday in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys.
Xavi went back to leave to Oriol Romeu in the bench and left to the German like mediocentro pure, a position that knows very well, accompanied in principle by Gavi and Raphinha like interiors. In the first compasses of the meeting, although to defensive level no presented him a lot of problems, was not especially hit, although no desentonó. It compensated to the team and kept firm to send deep balloons and take advantage of the spaces that could leave free the defence of the Andalusian picture.
Fermín López, partner of luxury for Gündogan
The exit of Raphinha and entry of Fermín López benefited him enormously. It was not connecting very well with the Brazilian, but found in the player of The Masia to somebody that thought 'equal' that he and with which developed a very positive connection to filter him passes and leave him the free lane so that it was he the one who appeared in the attack. The Andalusian was a machine of 'win' spaces and went the attendant to give him shine to the centre of the field. Gündogan Took a step forward with his presence, but already after the marker went 1-0 went back to play like interior after the entry of Oriol Romeu.
