Xavi must get the most out of the signing of Vitor Roque for this season and ensure that he can be complementary to Lewandowski and not just his substitute. There are three clear formulas for both to perform at the same time

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Vitor Roque Is by the moment the only signing of winter of the FC Barcelona and a lot of culés have put serious hopes in his performance of here to final of season. Although only it has 18 years and it is necessary to go with a lot of calm with him, has qualities that can do him be important for the team even this campaign. But so that it adapt and it can give the best of yes, in addition to patience needs that Xavi Hernández attain to do him feel comfortable inside and out of the field.

Out of the terrains of game, all the mates are very pending of the forward, but as it has commented Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski are those that less have separated of him in this first week and average from his arrival. His compatriot by a subject of language and vicinity, since it knew him a bit, and the Pole because it knows that it could be his relief in the Barça and that it has to tutelarle and help him in all what can to do him better attacker.

On the contrary of what can expect when two footballers compete the one against the another by a place, Lewy has taken very well the signing of Vitor and is trying to do him feel comfortable and that learn of him in all the senses. For the moment, in The Palms saw that for Xavi the '19' is acting clear of the '9', but to take out the best of the two and also in profit of the team the trainer has to try take out the best of both, arriving even to give them minutes at the same time.

Two formulas to join up to Lewandowski and Roque at the same time

Although it can seem difficult because both are leading quite pure, there are formulas and systems in which the technician of Terrassa can do coincide to both, attaining even that they improve , since the mobility and the power of the of Mines Gerais is precisely of what 'limp' the one of Warsaw. Leave to the Brazilian like substitute of the ex of the Bayern of Munich is probably what suceda in the weeks to come, but the own míster Catalan already has left to fall that the attacker youngster will be able to play also in other places.

The simplest to imagine so that Robert and Vitor coincide is to plant to the ex of the Paranaense in band, specifically in the left, where will result him easier arrive to position of finish. Although it does not have one against one and this in band is a hándicap, in a 4-3-3 in which the left extreme is Alejandro Balde he could be practically a second forward that split of band. Saving the distances, could do the paper that for example Cristiano Ronaldo had in the final stretch of his career in the Madrid, that splitting of the side was almost '9' pure. Lewy Would follow having his same role, supporting to the team of backs and looking for zones of finish, but with his new partner would have something less responsibility goleadora of which has now.

Another form to attain that the two coincide and can feel comfortable is playing with a 4-4-2 like which the Barcelona already has gone out other times. The famous Barça of the four means would support in this case in two 'killers' by in front, in place of in a '9' and an extreme or second tip, that is what has happened when it has played like this until the moment. Luckily, when having two so offensive sides as I Cancel and Balde, that could exert of extremes, would not lose the desborde in band and besides would have a lot finish and presence in the rival area with Lewy and Roque. Also it would benefit to have 'jugones' as Gündogan, Frenkie of Jong and Pedri, supported by a pivote that could arrive in January, to dominate the ball and generate more football inside.

A special system for the traced back

The last system that could benefit so much to the Brazilian as to the Pole is a 4-2-2-2, with two mediocentros on line, that could be Of Jong and Gündogan, especially taking into account that Pedri does not have date of turn by his injury of knee. As extreme could follow Joao Félix and Raphinha or enter Ferran Torres or Lamine Yamal, like sucede now, and up would be the two goleadores. This could see especially in contexts of traced back, since play with alone two means could descompensar a lot to the team.

Xavi will owe now decide which of these formulas attracts him more and which thinks that would work better so that the Barcelona surrender in general and so that Roque and Lewandowski take out the best of them and turn into a good pair. In the next month will begin to see to where wants to go the trainer with the role of Vitor and if it dares to bet by him beside the maximum goleador Barcelona.
