Even at the beginning of the year it seemed that Enrique as coach of Barcelona endures no longer than its predecessor, Gerardo Martino. At first match in 2015 against Real Sociedad has not found space in the composition or for Messi, nor for Neymar and Barcelona lost 1: 3. Moments later Argentyńczykowi let slip that he does not know what he will do in the next season, and I myself wondering if his departure is at all realistic. Media around the world writing about a conflict on the line’s biggest star – the coach and it seemed that the days of the latter are numbered.
But since then Barcelona took twenty-nine meetings, all of which won twenty-seven. At that time also he snapped up ninety-four goals and can still win three trophies: the Spanish championship and cup and Champions League. If it succeeded, Luis Enrique echo the success of Pep Guardiola’s first season as coach of Barcelona.
Turns in fact, that the new coach could further improve the work of his colleague from the field. Barcelona no longer needs 70% of possession in every game (yesterday it was even smaller than Bayern in the Champions League which did not happened to her for nine years), because the offensive has a far greater arsenal.
Of course, most still depend on Leo Messi. The Argentinian had already forgotten about weaker, as for him last season. There are also no health problems, which translates into a great disposition on the field. So far he scored 53 goals and had 29 assists. It is worth stopping at the other statistics. It’s a career record of Messi, who also shows how its role has changed.
The Argentinean is no longer only a nine false because Barcelona is a genuine striker in the person of Luis Suarez. Messi he begins to match the right wing, but it really has tremendous freedom to move around the pitch. Sometimes there is a second striker, sometimes he plays quarterback, and if needed he can run in the breadth of the whole field, to pull together several defenders rivals. “The coach gave me the freedom to move around the court at its discretion,” – said before the game against Bayern Messi.
In Barcelona Guardiola whole game he was his subordinate, even at the expense of names such as Eto’o, Henry, Ronaldinho or Villa. U Enrique greater is the role boiskowych Argentine partners.
Even Luis Suarez, or footballer, which lacked Barcelona in previous years. Although yesterday wasted an excellent opportunity for power, it is not to be underestimated is its role in keeping the ball in attack, breaking the defensive opponents. In this respect, it is a central player Barça.
It should also be emphasized how important the Barcelona Enrique Ivan Rakitić. Acquired from Sevilla midfielder bit a of the composition of slowing Xavi and driving fast attacks persists Messi. The more that the Argentinian often leaves him free passage on the right side of the court. In this respect Rakitić a bit like his coach years ago.
Luis Enrique has also to play long balls Barcelona and he taught her set pieces – both in attack and in defense, which was the Achilles heel of Guardiola’s Barcelona. Sure, some football romantics complain that this is no longer so beautifully playing as a team Pepa, but the time may yet follow in her footsteps. And you might even be better since then the band? This will remain just a matter of taste and hours of discussions
