The arrival of Dani Olmo to FC Barcelona is presented as a very attractive signing for the culé club, not only because of his proven football quality, but also because of his ability to stand out in various positions on the field, since he can perform successfully in up to six positions differents

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona, to concretise the incorporation of Dani Elm, as it seems to be working at present, would make definitively an incorporation of first level. The one of Terrassa is one of these players that knows to perfection the 'DNA Barça', since it is a canterano of the club culé. Besides, definitely, it would contribute a remarkable fan of solutions to the offensive game of the team. Why? Because if there is something that characterises to the egarense is his capacity to play in several positions in the last third of the offensive field.

In this sense, the exjugador of the Dinamo Zagreb can exert in a total of six demarcations in the terrain of game. This is not only an isolated data, but a question backed by the statistics. As they aim in 'Transfermarkt', in 272 commitments to level of clubs in First Division, the '10' of 'The Red' has contested 137 like offensive midfield player, 49 like left extreme, 49 like right extreme, 18 like mediocentro, 10 like mediapunta and nine like false nine.

It is necessary to take into account that these data expose the position in which Dani Elm starts theoretically in the eleven initial or when ingresa from the bench. Nevertheless, the one of Terrassa does not limit to a zone of the field, but his wide command in several areas allows him move by different sectors with remarkable solvency, adapting to the requests of the position that exerts.

The main virtues in the game of Dani Elm

Nevertheless, in each demarcation, there are points in common in his game that is used to to show with regularity. For example, his picardía in the one against one is more than recognised, since it has a big capacity regateadora, what allows him desbordar in more than an occasion when it plays by the sides. To his time, knows to use this gambeta when it plays in the centre of the field, showing his version more colaborativa when it acts like midfield player with mates forward. Equally, it shows an important facet goleadora when it plays like mediapunta, showing a big character resolutivo when to send the spherical at the end of the networks treats .

Another stellar attribute in Dani Elm is his taking of decisions, especially when has the opportunity of desenfundar his excellent finish from average and long distance. His zone predilecta for these finish is used to to be the edge of the area and the region of the medialuna, where does not doubt in looking for the rival goal when it finds in a more offensive position.

How it would fit the egarense in the tactical approach of Hansi Flick?

Now, if it finishes fichando by the combined Barcelona this summer and Hansi Flick decides to change the diagram of game of a 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1, everything indicates that the egarense could exert like mediapunta in this half line of three players. It is necessary to take into account that Robert Lewandowski would occupy the position of '9' and in the bands would be Lamine Yamal by the right and, in case that it concretise his incorporation, Nico Williams by the left.

These extremes would endow to the sides culés of a lot of vertigo and disequilibrium and 'Lewy' would be the nine classical, what would leave to the of Terrassa like a differential element that would contribute 'spark' in the offensive phase, participating in some actions like false nine beside the ariete Polish, but also like a 'playmaker' for desestabilizar to the rival with his inventiveness. Besides, it would compete in this position with players of the size of Pedri González, İlkay Gündoğan and Fermín López.

Likewise, although already there is extreme headlines, Dani Elm also could exert like an option to cover any one of the two sides. Although the players of these bands seem to be very directed to the titularity, if Raphinha goes out of the team, only would remain Ferran Torres like alternative to reinforce both sides of the field. With the egarense, would add depth and versatility to both demarcations.

Added to this, regarding reinforcing the centre of the field, also could exert like a retarded midfield player, almost in the position of mediocentro. This resource can be very valuable when Hansi Flick wish to give him greater dynamism to the central zone with a more agile and vertical player, different to the profile that can offer players as 'Gündo' or Frenkie of Jong.
