SIs there something I insisted on last season Ronald Koeman, was in need of being more effective. Although the Barcelona was the highest scoring team of the past Santander League (85 goals), at various times of the season regretted the lack of success in the last meters. There were many points that escaped due to not being able to take advantage of clear scoring chances.
Those messages from Koeman did not only go to the locker room, but also intended to mentalize those responsible for the club of the need to strengthen the lead. It is clear that they took note, because as soon as the course ended, the signings of Depay Y Agero.
In two games, the Dutchman has already managed to cause a sensation in the Barcelona parish. He has scored a couple of goals in appearances and more importantly, he feels like he’s capable of making a difference. “He is a player who, due to his quality and strength, gives other things to the team,” Koeman explained at the end of the match against him. Stuttgart, visibly that the signing that he had specifically requested, would start to work.
Apparently so far, the former player of the Lyon olympic has a great ability to associate in the last meters. Just what Bara requires for those parties -the majority- in which it finds itself with a closed defense and a highly populated area.
His connection with Griezmann invites hope, within the uncertainty that is lived right now in Barcelona. Nobody can assure you that the French will be a Bara player on September 1. The same thing happens with Messi.
What is undeniable is that the Catalan team has started the summer with a punch. He adds ten goals in the first three games and it remains to be seen if he maintains this trend in the two remaining games before the official competition begins. Salzburg and the Juventus.
And two cracks are missing
And to all this we must add the expected incorporation of the footballers who were on vacation after having played the America Cup. Is about Emerson Royal and the Kun Agero. In the case of the second, he has been training alone for a long time, but everyone is looking forward to seeing him wear Barça.
Special mention should be made of the case of Leo messi, which is at the expense of the club resolving its financial situation to be able to count on it with all the laws. At the moment, he will not join the training sessions, although the idea was that it would start this Monday, August 2.
If everything goes according to plan and the two Argentines join the cul discipline, this Bara’s punch can only grow. Koeman can no longer complain that his Barcelona lacks efficiency in the last meters.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account the presence in the squad of other players with a great capacity to score goals and who have not yet made an appearance in the preseason. It is the case of Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Dembl and Ansu Fati. Although the departure of one of the first two cannot be ruled out, it is clear that having them raises the offensive potential of the team. Another thing is what the club must do to be able to afford them.
