Barcelona first looks at the turn and speed when buying a central defender. Guy is an option

In the first three rounds of La Liga in the new season, Barcelona gave their opponents 12 excellent scoring opportunities. It has to be said that the problems that arise on the defensive end have become something that Barcelona must pay attention to.

Although defense is not just the responsibility of the back line, the counter-attack of the front line and the oppression of the midfield are important. However, with Inigo's departure, it is not enough to just let Martin rotate the left central defender. Barcelona should have a plan to buy a central defender in the winter window.

More and more opponents understand Barcelona's high-pressing style, so they use long passes to find the open area behind the full-back who assists (or tops when defending).

Especially La Liga teams have strong ability to shoot balls in the middle and backcourts, and the accuracy of this long pass is high. In this way, De Jong is not good at horizontal coverage. His strategy is to retreat directly to the center of the central defender and then let the central defender move horizontally to defend.

The greatest value of Inigo in the left central defender last season was that he was flexible enough to turn around, which was conducive to offside, and the other was that he could also make up for the full-back horizontally to cut off the possibility of his opponent cutting into the penalty area from the wing.

However, Inigo performed poorly in the sprint stage several times last season (from facing Dortmund in the Champions League quarterfinals, playing Inter Milan in the quarterfinals to Real Madrid in the league), which has become one of the reasons why the team averaged 3 goals per game in the strong dialogue.

So in the summer window, he chose to go to Saudi Arabia to get a high salary, and Barcelona would not stop it, but Barcelona needs to find a new line of defense speed point (lateral coverage speed).

Arauho is good at chasing back, but he is vertically up and down top and back. The horizontal movement is inadequate in position selection and foot-out technology, and it is difficult to partner with Daren. The current choice is to let Christensen, who has hidden dangers of injury, be responsible for this work, but may not be able to last for the whole season.

This may also be the reason why it is rumored that Barcelona intends to sign Crystal Palace's England international Guy. On the one hand, he will be free in the next summer window (clearly rejecting any possibility of renewal). On the other hand, Guy is relatively short but more flexible, and can play as a full-time central defender of three central defenders. From a technical perspective, it meets Flick's requirements.

However, it should be noted that Guy's hard strength is not very strong. Even if Liverpool is interested in him, he will not let Guy be the main force, but will replace Gomez. Barcelona currently does not have that high requirements for the defender's personal ability. What they want is special players. Gee meets the special requirements, but it may not be reliable when it comes to strong dialogues.

If you want to continue the glory of last season and even go to a higher level, Barcelona should be prepared to continue to strengthen the team in the winter window. After all, Rashford's performance was not outstanding, and the newcomer did not bring changes to the team. Frick just relied on internal potential, which may not be able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the entire team and continue his radical tactics.

So Barcelona needs to return to the Camp Nou as soon as possible to usher in economic improvement in order to give more support to its coach in the winter window.
