Antoine Grazman is the striker who needs an attacker

Good evening, welcome to the usual report of the season Barcelona deal, often this is not your first time here, but if we would recommend reviewing the last report before joining Coutinho, since then there have been many events; two European competitions against Roma and Liverpool and a loss in the Cup final against Valencia, and all this pushed Barcelona to realize the terrible truth; it has been more than a year since the club spent 100 million euros or more on a player does not need him. (1) (2)

How did creation begin!

Usually - a coach is aware of the axioms on the way - the coaches feel that there is a defect in the list of players, or a lack of formation, or the need to raise the quality in general, they explore the amount of resources available for contracts and then begin to work with sports management on several names can achieve the required, The club's academy did not meet its needs.

In Catalonia, Barcelona come out of the Champions League with a loud scandal first. Take no logical reasoning, such as resigning the administration, dismissing the coach or breaking the contracts of some players. The president, coach and players decide to keep the president, coach and players exactly as they are. To overcome the impact of the media scandal, even if this work will cause another scandal within a year, and of course this will be only a huge media deal proves that Barcelona is still able to attract stars after all.

The rest of the artwork is coordinated with the coach and access to a balanced mix and set-up lineup for the new season leaves to the masses. The space of speculation here is bigger than Catalonia itself, and it gives the public a lot of joy because it caters to the love of possession; the excessive ecstasy you feel when you realize you have more than you need, and that the number of stars in your squad is enough for several clubs to be irresistible.

Of course this is not the guilt of the masses, at least not entirely, simply because it is not its role at all. This situation is very tempting, as evidenced by the failure of the likes of Santiago Bernabeu, Berlusconi and Florentino Perez in their resistance. We are talking about the names of the most influential in the history of the game, and, frankly, it is hard to blame amateurs wherever professionals fail, or were supposed to be professional.

Goodbye Suarez

This time, Bartomio took advantage of Valverde's interest in "polishing de Jong's tactical facets", according to a local newspaper article. He decided to add Grazmann and Neymar to a list that is largely suffocated in these areas. Once again, Barcelona fans found themselves in the coach's position, Find a way to engage all of these in one variety.

The result is that Barcelona finds itself facing the same questions every summer; where will Coutinho play? What is the original Grazman Center? Can Messi be returned to the party? Or better to play in the midfield? All these questions are usually posed before thinking - just thinking - in a new contract, but in Catalonia it is put after contracting the player, not any player, but the most expensive duo in the history of the club.

Most importantly, no one has realized the paradox that Barcelona is now looking for a club to buy the most expensive deal in its history after only a year and a half of its inclusion. Someone did not stop and asked if it was logical or needed to slow down and review, and with each new deal is becoming more complicated and economic losses expand. (6)

Bartomio is like an over-rich man who loves fishing, but instead of buying a yacht for his sea voyages, he decides to ride a huge raft on his Ferrari, and when he sinks, takes the tires and tries again, then removes the roof. So, whenever someone tells him that what he does, She was described as crazy before her success.

It is enough that since Neymar's departure, Bartomo spent more than 420 million euros to compensate him, and these amounts are likely to increase before the summer ends. Why? Because he is trying to return Neymar of course. Now take a few minutes to try to remember that this insane sequence began with an attempt to sign Firati to make up for Xavi, then move to Coutinho to substitute for Iniesta. After 420 million Euros and two European rebounds, they returned to square one and Neymar's return became a priority. The only ones who needed to replace before All of them are still in their seats.

Originally, the current Barcelona squad did not need all that money at least up front. All it needed was an attacker who could put Suarez on the bench and another one and a few simple additions to the rest of the lines. But what you really need is a coach who can use all that on And everyone does not feel they need to win 10 or more goals if they want to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

Hello Suarez

The story of Grazman with Atletti is very simple and can not bear all this confusion at all; the man participated in 257 games, of which only 31 as an outspoken striker. Believe the figure please, because this is the man who is supposed to be signed by Bartomeo to replace Suarez.

Rather, there are only 31 games for Grisman with Atletico, which was not matched by a conventional 9 striker. Some statistical sites are mixed up when Simeone plays the Holy 4-4-2. The Frenchman is in a dual attacking squad with similar positions and tasks. However, Grisman has maintained a constant value in almost the same roles since 2014. In his presence, the Atletico spent more than 200 million Euro - more than any other center - to ensure the permanent presence of a traditional striker who can give Simeone the ability to extend the stadium longitudinally in the apostates, the ferocity in bilateral conflicts, and the constant annoyance of defenders within the region are all indispensable in the way of playing Cholo, The French can be classified among the best in Here, unlike in the middle third. (8)

A large proportion of these 31 games are those in which Simeone plays outside the Champions League or the Liga against mid-level or strong teams, and then he would have preferred to pay for Fioreto, Korea or Carrasco. In other words, in these matches there was no outspoken striker in the squad, and not even Grisman.

At first glance, there seems to be a great similarity between the movement areas of Grisman and his mate in the attack, whatever his identity is, but with little scrutiny, he recognizes that the difference lies in the density of presence within the adversary's penalty area. A double attack, one behind the ball and the other in front of it, and the difference between them is so clear that the eye of the abyss, not to mention professional specialist, if we may consider the management of Bartomio as well.

Even in comparison with the rest of the attackers in Europe, Grazman is different in quality regardless of quantity, meaning that it is understood that any player in Atleti Simeoni will be charged with huge defense and tactical duties outside the opponent's penalty area compared to Lefandowski or Aguero or Suarez. The number of shots and goals and touches of Grazman less than all of these, but we are talking about a player paid from outside the region more than pay within, and achieve half the rates of natural attackers in the last third.

Stay for the Suarez

Witnesses of all that Grizman striker wonderful but outside the penalty area, and to enter and record needs to distract defenders, which was assigned to each of Mandzukic, Gamero, Torres, Kosta, Kalinich and Murata, who rotated the next five years in Madrid, even Jiro, who booked a key place In France thanks only to Grazmann, and this is the most comic paradox in his contract; that the man who came to replace Suarez may be the one who guarantees his survival on the pitch.

The logical solution here is to return the Catalan to the 4-4-2 Cruyff Diamond as applied Guardiola; Messi as an imaginary striker and a grizzly in the center between the striker and wing on the right with a player with similar roles on the opposite between Dembele, Malcolm and Cotigno / Neymar the return of the latter, All this requires a midfield of a high level of understanding, harmony and the ability to limit the trio of offensive missions in the last yards of the stadium, and that is the specialty of Valverde as you know.

It is not easy for Valverde to change his ideas, his style, his plan and his choices in the formation and to erase everything he learned in his training career, and this will often be a top priority for the man as soon as he finishes polishing de Jong's tactical aspects.

Now we will bid farewell to you in the hope that we will meet in another seasonal report this summer. In January we were talking about the new Iniesta who needed a new Iniesta because he was not a new Iniesta. Now he will be sold to the first passerby and will be replaced by the new striker who needs a new striker because, in fact, he is not a new striker. To meet with another report will be his only logical title; Barcelona .. club that needs a club.
