The last few months are Barcelona’s impressive performance. Players Luis Enrique with 13 previous meetings in the Primera Division won 12, scoring 39 goals and conceding only 5. In their Sunday won the away game against Atletico and the 23rd time in history secured the title of champion of Spain. In the past decade many as 7 times failed to achieve it. So good series of club never had.
Also in the Champions League “Pride of Catalonia” put in the highest gear, probably eliminating another rival. It is true that lost to Bayern Munich in the second leg semi-final meeting at the 2: 3, but after the first meeting, this had no impact on the ultimate fate of the competition – Barcelona firmly controlled the tie and 6 June to meet with Juventus in the grand finale.
– Championship is only the beginning, and the winning era of Barcelona is not over yet – said the Catalan club’s midfielder Sergio Busquets.
Added to this is still one trophy, after that you can reach – Copa del Rey. The beginnings of this season, however, were not so pink.
he drew from the players what is best
In the great football there are few challenges that stand as high as keeping Barcelona. Enrique well aware of this, what are the expectations of fans – spent at Camp Nou eight years, twice winning the championship of Spain, adding to the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and UEFA Cup. The pressure and great demands – it was not any surprise for him.
Contrary to appearances, Enrique did not come to the team also finished and complete. Last season Barcelona failed to win a trophy, Geraldo Martino has proven itself in the role of trainer and left the team in disgrace. Tito Vilanova has won the Spanish championship but the Champions League remained out of reach.
Enrique still to Sunday could boast of trenerskimi success. He made an average of a successful adventure with AS Roma, with Celta Vigo could not join in the fight for the highest goals. His career was not going as way to trophies a year younger Pep Guardiola, which appeared arm in arm on the pitch. Nevertheless, it seems that the authorities are perfectly club hit with the decision to entrust Barcelona.
This season, Barcelona could reach the triple crown. And to a large extent, it will owe Luis Enrique.
Of course, a leading figure in “Barça” is Leo Messi in recent months, you can venture to say that this is the best season of his career. Messi chimeric frequented in the past, had periods when I played with full commitment and it was clear he was tired ceaseless expectations for the fact that Barcelona will be pulled in crisis situations. For this occurred health problems, after which at the moment there is no trace.
This season has together people who can hardly be called merely “helpers”. Neymar and Luis Suarez sensationally present and the whole trio is the most deadly attack in the world – in the 2015 years have scored an amazing number of 74 goals (in the match against Atletico Messi struck again 75). Just write that most teams misses so many goals the whole season league competition.
It was Suarez is the player who had a great influence on how the “Pride of Catalonia”. He came to the club with the label scandalist and many experts wondered whether it will fit into the team. He showed already that he is an outstanding player, but discipline was for him an abstract term. The philosophy of the game Barcelona and password defining it as “more than a club” could argue with the attitude of the Uruguayan on the pitch.
Liverpool bit Branislav Ivanovic from Chelsea (in the national team at the World Cup in Brazil repeated the same with Giorgio Chiellinim), he has been punished by suspension and fined for alleged racist comments at Patrice Evra, several times showed off diving in the penalty box . Has a reputation as a player against whom the game is very difficult.
Barcelona hit in a situation where he had to expiate long weeks of suspension. He did not train with the team, he could not appear in the official matches. For sure it was a difficult time for the Uruguayan, but you see that come back stronger. Barcelona gives you more opportunities to play off the ball, toil all over the pitch, useful for aggressive and high their ability to press. Standard goes to the net and looking for assists, sometimes even in moments where he would end the action.
It seems that Barcelona finally found a keeper who has given her a huge confidence on the defensive. A properly goalkeepers, because Enrique consistently places in the Primera Division on Claudio Bravo in the Champions League Ter Stegen young arms.
A quiet hero at the Camp Nou Ivan Rakitic, for whom this is the first season for the club after a transfer from Sevilla. Croat is not as visible as offensive trio, but does a great job on the pitch and is at the same time truly effective.
Added to this is the transfer of Jeremy Mathieu, which initially approached with reserve. It quickly became clear that he had become an important link in the defense of Barcelona, which lost very few goals – just 19 after 37 rounds of Primera Division. For comparison – Real Madrid wrote in the statistics 37, and Atletico 30 goals.
In terms of goals strzelanych only the “Merengues” Enrique win with the players, they were sent to the grid rivals for 111 times (Barcelona 108), but the old football truth is that the great teams are built just from the defense in this case works perfectly.
In weaker moments, much has been written about the fact that between Enrique and the stars of Barcelona there is no chemistry, there were moments in which no one could see that not everything meshes as it should. Enrique was looking for new solutions, often rotował players starting composition, which has not always been spot-on. The rumors grew and it seemed that the Spanish coach awaits fate similar to that encountered by Geraldo Martino.
– We had some problems before we found a place where we are now, but they are already behind us. We are anxious to win as many as possible and in the best possible style – he said.
Top marks for style
One can not agree with the statement that style is a great asset Barcelona, led by Enrique. Mark agrees, and the fans “Barça” in addition to trophies also want the beautiful game, football captivating and attractive to the eye. Luis Enrique left the best elements of tiki-taki Guardiola, but it clung to what made its predecessor.
Barcelona is able to dominate virtually every challenge from a rival still brings deadly counterattacks, but is not afraid to look for new solutions, not blindly believe in the fact that you need to replace dozens of applications to enter the ball into the goal post.
A great example of this is the gate of the recent Clásico, when Luis Suarez got a long pass completely in the style of Barcelona, and left him only defeat Iker Casillas. Having a sensational striker Messi has allowed it to have even more freedom in your game. Matches usually begins with the right wing, but his genius pitch frequently tells him the best solutions, which helps the team.
Enrique in the statistics looks better than Guardiola. Though not yet finished the season, but his team already has already at this point a more favorable balance. With 57 games won 48, drew 3 and lost 6, which gives an average of 2.58 points per game. Guardiola in 62 games his first season he won 42, 13 times and 7 times remisował down from the pitch defeated (average – 2.24 points per game).
To some here that the current Bayern coach has built a core of Barcelona, actually created the team, Enrique and he got it after him in the fall. But it is hard not to notice that in the last two seasons, two trainers not even approached what “Pride of Catalonia” presents this season.
Barcelona was on the top shelf of world football for years, and at this level in clashes between upper decide the minor details. Luis Enrique definitely had an idea on how to make his team was a step closer to perfection. At this point, from the ideal (if you can even admit its existence, she divides her very much.
Of course Barcelona has to evolve, and the former pillars of recent years will play an increasingly smaller role. Replacing the generations is a natural way of things. He left Carles Puyol, Xavi is gone, then it’s time for Andres Iniesta. At this point, it is difficult to argue about whether the band finds their successors for subsequent years, but with this task Enrique will have to face in the coming seasons. Of course, if you at the club.

Triple Crown and then what?
Championship after Sunday’s win over Atletico is the first title of his career trainer. This season could include an impressive result – the team are yet to match the King’s Cup final with Athletic Bilbao and the Champions League final, where in Berlin will face Juventus. Both of these meetings the players, “Barça” will approach as a favorite and certainly afford it, to win the triple crown.
Enrique did not declare, however, that will be at the Camp Nou. It may seem crazy, because his great coaching career has only just begun.
– I started this journey ten months ago, the club was in a special situation. We made a lot of changes. There are two trophies and after the season we will be able to issue a rating. As for my future, then his decision to undertake after the season. No need to rush on this issue – he said.
According to the “Daily Mail” the reason that Enrique would hesitate before signing a new contract (currently valid until June 2016.) are the June elections the new government “Barça”. The current president Josep Maria Bartomeu has little chance to remain in office. But whoever the new boss would not, he will have to realize that Enrique has done his job perfectly.
By the end of the season remaining three matches. Two of them will determine whether Barcelona will reach after all the trophies that she could win this season. However, regardless of the results, this season the best team fans viewed “Barça” for years.
