Barca are back in the business | Messi Neymar Suarez show
05:41
What a turn around it has been for Barcelona. After getting beaten by Moyes's Real Sociedad at Anoeta, things have changed drastically for the catalan side. Barcelona are unbeaten in their last eleven games which includes three comfortable wins over Atletico Madrid.
Messi and Neymar are scoring for fun since the new year and are also helping out each other very well. The two best players in the world are in total sync. Add to that, another beast of a player (Literally) - Suarez, you get probably one of the best attacking trio in the history of football. Barcelona had many great players in the past, but none of them had all three world class forwards (In their prime) in the team. We currently possess such three best players in the world. Just add any one of those three players in any mediocre team, it will look world class. All three are the main reason as why we are performing at out best right now.
Meanwhile,Luis Enrique had received lot of criticisms for his tactics, substitutions and for many more things, but he has emerged back in style by winning important games with his b..b( Yes, I will say it)brilliant tactics. Many including me were against "Playing Messi at Right wing", but the results show that it has worked very well. Suarez keeps hold of two central defenders. Neymar keeps hold of the opposition right back and Messi beats the respective left back (YOU CAN INSERT ANY LEGENDARY DEFENDER) any day. Exactly same is happening in each game and we are playing more direct than ever. The first goal against Atletico Madrid in the Copa Del Rey was a brilliant way of demonstrating to the world that we can play in any style and don't stick to tiki-taka alone. Anymore. None of the midfielders touched the ball in the build up. Just look at this play.
We didn't see Barcelona play in this fashion since Rijkaard's days. For instance : Recently I was watching the famous 5-0 thrashing of Real Madrid. We were 3-0 up and for once Jose Mourinho's side had to come up the pitch and play football . They were looking for a goal which left lot of space on either sides, but instead of exploiting the space we were happy to keep the possession. Tiki-Taka created wonders and worked brilliantly, but sadly that template doesn't work nowadays. So, it's good to play according to the strength of our current players. At their prime, Xavi and Iniesta would rule the midfield, but they can't get it done in the same fashion against athletic midfielders anymore. So, Change is a good thing. We are playing to win and it is possible when we play according to our players strengths.
We are spoilt fans. When team wins, we would like to see Messi score more goals, when Messi scores and assists for fun, we want Neymar to score goals too. Now when both Messi and Neymar are scoring regularly, our eye is on Suarez. Suarez is playing really well. i.e He holds the ball up the pitch, creates space for Messi and Neymar by his movement in the box. But he was kind of shit in front of goal,in the past few games. A phase which every new forward will undergo in his first season at Barcelona , Most recently, Alexis Sanchez and Neymar went through that phase. We need not worry about Suarez's goal scoring stats. He will only get better. Also, Pique's form is back. Iniesta is also doing well. All are performing their duties very well which is reflecting in the recent scorelines.
Just remember the below line as the new era and ride is about to start now.
