Hello and welcome back to football made simple. FC Barcelona is a special club that has higher standards than most other clubs in world football; After all, how many other clubs would consider sacking a manager who has just won back-to-back league titles? Like three more cups after winning so many trophies in just two years, what could be the problem? Well, in this video we take a look at how Barcelona has evolved under Ernesto Valverde, but just before we get into the main section of this video. With the football season over, football is simple, we will continue to upload great football content like this, so you liked the video and hit the subscribe button to make sure you don't miss it anyway, let's get into it to understand How Barcelona has arrived.

At this point of unrest around Valle Verde, we must understand what happened before Valverde took over, before Valle Verde Luis Enrique, who replaced Jurado Martina for the 1415 season after Martina resigned after finishing second in La Liga and as runners-up in La Copa del Rey was a factor in choosing Enrique because Barcelona always considers that they want someone who is familiar with the club and this requirement is often met because the potential coach is a former player with which Enrique played for Barcelona for eight years between '96 and '96. 2004, after playing five seasons for Real Madrid, in 2013-14 he took charge of Celta de Vigo, where he guided them to ninth place before of leaving for Barcelona at the end of the season on a three-year contract, but how did Enrique's Barcelona play for us It may contrast well with Valverde's style initially.

Enrique stuck to Barcelona's beloved training ideal of playing 433 in basically every game for the first two years of his tenure before moving to the occasional 343 later on, but at the time Enrique was heavily criticized for not playing. Barcelona style and Rica had the power of one of the deadliest trios in football on msn and as a result he resorted to a quick transition style in which he looked to get the ball into the fourth as quickly as possible, unlike Guardiola who was the most recent example of the Barcelona style where the board progressed in a controlled manner from central defender to defensive midfield, attacking midfield before entering the final third, instead Enrique quickly went from defender to back and straight to the last third, the field was often skipped and demoted to a new style where they were mainly used as a shield and as a result were often a big gas between the Fords and the midfield, making Barcelona vulnerable, as that the aging Busquets and Iniesta had to cover too much ground, but Elise Enrique often showed tactical flexibility.

Initially he played with Suárez on the side before moving Messi again on the side, in addition to trying different things, such as the 343, he managed to win two, three La Liga Rais cups and a Champions League, among others, but when Enrique decided to leave Barcelona, ​​the general consensus among fans was that it may have been the right idea again, the problem was whether he was winning, it was how he was doing it, as several camps in Barcelona accused him of losing the Barcelona style, other reasons why he led, where he suffered Guardiola-style burnout after dealing with the political situation. situation within the club for three years he was also often accused of being naive and his

tactics

were often offensive, such as in the big defeat against PSG in the Champions League, plus he had a poor transfer record and an over-reliance on Messi and in 2017 Barcelona appointed Valverde on a two-year contract with an additional option for a third, but why did Barcelona choose him?

It was the usual routine of naming a former player, as Valverde had played for the club for two years as Ford. Johan Cruyff no less also bovered had a good track record with you that Bilbao brought in iñaki Williams I am Eric Laporte and more hope that this will help to re-establish la mesilla as a leading academy so what was the feeling around his appointment in the Well, in There is generally a lukewarm reception and his calm demeanor does not inspire confidence. Many fans feared the fund had appointed a man who would not question the direction the club has taken.

Most people wondered if he was the man to restore Barcelona's identity. To understand the skepticism we have to look at his time at the club we were at before joining Barcelona. Athletic Bilbao were successful when they won their first trophy in over 30 years, as well as taking them to European competitions every season they were there, but how did they do it? The game was for us and with this Barcelona translated into Bilbao, preferring to use a 4-2-3-1 and his team would sit deep when necessary with the wingers dropping deep to generate pressure before counter-attacking into the vacant space using La Porte has a range of passes to pick out Williams and a very direct style of play and not necessarily Barcelona's style.

Veda had a reputation for improving defenses and he was expected to bring this to the club, as he reduced Bilbao's goals conceded by 40.% after joining, could he transfer this to Barcelona? We will start by taking a look at how his

tactics

have

changed

his transfer windows, what he has achieved and comparing him to previous Barcelona managers before finally looking at why some people think he is a failure at the club, while in his first season he received A big blow when Naima left the club in a record contract with PSG, this was one of many other players he left, such as Te'o Mathieu and a group of players. leaving the major on loan with the return of delaffei and Sumida paulinho URI Mena and oozma and Empire arrived in the summer and continued to join in the winter Dembélé was injured very early in his career in Barcelona and this affected Valle Verde's tactics to the time to build From behind, the centre-backs separated as the four defenders pushed up the pitch joining the remaining double pivot as Busquets dropped between the centre-backs.

Paulínia surprisingly often started with the fourth most appearances and who often pushed higher. Ally message cutting in from the right and creating a gap behind him and Suarez, this meant the build up often resembled a three four one two in position, this created some problems for the team, the two central midfielders were often Iniesta and rocky touch and yesterday as a legend of the game, but like everyone else, time had caught up with him, meaning he could only cover a limited amount of space in midfield, as well as losing some of his cutting edge. in attack, registering only two assists, the difficult touch, on the other hand, was now more. of a box-to-box midfielder rather than a creative one without wingers, meant that the only player capable of creating consistently was Lionel Messi, to make matters worse, Suárez's physical decline was becoming evident, so he scored less than the previous season, so Messi's burden to score and create in defense increased when, under sustained pressure, they fell into a 4-4-2, but to compensate for the lack of creativity in midfield, he introduced the high-scoring style. pressure from Bilbao to generate high turnovers.

This worked well until you realized that Iniesta's baskets and H racket were aging and Rosa - demand them to make matters worse because Verdi rarely used the rotation in any of the competitions with a group nicknamed Los Intocables starting in all the games no matter what, among others, included Busquets Suarez and racket äj, so in the second half of the season their legs were heavy, which meant that Barcelona's offensive and defensive play was now slower, which the It made it look aesthetically worse. And not playing like Barcelona means they had a terrible season. Well, not at first glance they were runners-up in the super cup, they reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they won the Copa del Rey and when you look at the La Liga table it seems that they have counted down to victory, but if we consider that in the Champions League they wasted a 4-1 home victory to be eliminated in the quarterfinals against Roma, the truth is becoming evident in the league.

They seem to have won the league easily and how can you criticize a man whose league record looked like that? Yes, only one defeat in the entire season and in the last game of the season, but they scored 17 fewer calls than Enrique and although in the document it seems that Wofford improved the defense, in reality they exceeded the expected goals, they conceded 13 goals, they they took 10 suitors being superhuman and the goal and the TT at home doing a great performance were not offered protection, all this means that, according to the expected points, Madrid should have actually been champions, but they had an unfortunate and wasteful season.

A video explaining expected goals and expected points will be linked here soon. Other statistics show that Barcelona had less position, fewer shots per game and conceded more shots per game, which is not good, so what? It's back they

changed

the season to try to rectify this, let's start with the transfers. Barcelona got rid of De La Fea Deena Vidal Yuri Mina Malin Munir Paulinho Paco bringing in more than a hundred million and Artur, Malcolm and Fidel came in, so how is this effective? about these tactics, although he has slightly modified his tactics when attacking, they use a nominal 433, when Messi is guaranteed the right victory, it means that only one of the big money signings can play on the left and usually continues so where Paulina used to press higher.

We got up and joined Suárez making a 1 in attack. Coutinho falls into the hole with Messi making a 2-1 attack, but we both continue and Messi intervenes. There is a lack of rhythm on the flanks, which can make Bossa predictable when the opponent gets in the goal. midfield, the father is the adaptation: this is pushing Jordi Alba high on the left to connect with Catania and Missy while Roberto or Semadar push high and often push towards the right wing to help with the width, but this creates a problem. It only leaves Artur Longley along with Busquets and PK, both a year older alone in defense and this has made them vulnerable due to their lack of rhythm;

In fact, it has meant that this season they have conceded three times as many times on counterattacks as they did last season, so what did it all mean for Barcelona? Well, this season they won the super cup and were runners-up in the Copa del Rey again, wasting three games without a margin in the first leg to be eliminated by Liverpool and in La Liga once. Again they won the league quite comfortably on paper, but what do the statistics say? Who are they last season? They were done in most of Enrique's last season's ads and this year things have only gotten worse.

They got fewer points scored, fewer conceded, more and hoped the totals would match. In each case, they also have fewer shots per game, conceded more shots per game and have only scored 61 goals from open play this season, down from 75 last season, as they now rely more on Messi's free kicks and penalties. , but let's delve into why. Barcelona fans may be upset, while the VAR Greens winning record is 68%, which is the second worst since the Pepp era, only Gerardo Martino fared worse and left after a solitary season and back-to-back titles of La Liga sounds good, but its total this season. 87 is the worst team in the last 10 years that Barcelona has achieved and, by total points, the Real Madrid teams they have beaten to win the title have literally been the two worst they have had in the last 12 years, which may be an indicator that Barcelona has not had to be anywhere near its best to win from there, let's move on to transfers.

Some may say he hasn't been involved in the transfers, but would that just be an indicator once again that Tommy has hired a yes? man who would question these transfers regardless when you look at the signings and of all Verdi how many have been an undoubted success Sumida artur Longley and perhaps Arturo Vidal when you look is the preferred 11 season 3 maybe for the sidings he will make the cut and There has been great criticism for his inability to get the best out of Dembélé and Catania. Another major criticism has been his lack of flexibility in the game, as Verda is usually reluctant to make substitutions unless absolutely necessary, and usually leaves it to his team to solve problems on the field.

Roma, where Barcelona were overwhelmed by Roma's pressing poverty, waited until they scored the third goal before bringing in Anton Bailey and Paco in search of the winning goal. Sounds familiar, while against Liverpool this season again Valverde didn't change his tactics until it was too late. What we know before making the first substitution of him and they were at zero before he brought back his first attacking player is the great dependence on Messi and the lack of width have damaged the aestheticsof his team, which has worked against him, but it has not been like that. All negative under Valverde, apart from the silver lining in which he has promoted over 10 La Masia players, which is a step back from Barcelona tradition and it is important to remember that even under Enrique there was some discontent among Barcelona fans , so the grass isn't always greener, so with the season almost over, don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on more football content like this.
