WHERE DOES GREIZMANN FIT INTO VALVARDE'S BARCELONA?

Barcelona are confident of wrapping up a deal for Athletico madrid's French superstar Antoinne Greizmann. The blaugrana side is almost sure about the arrival and hope to land the 2016 balon'd'or finalist before the world cup. The forward has already netted 19 goals and provided 9 assists in Laliga this season. The former Real Socidad striker has made a total of 207 appearance for Athleti, since he moved to Spanish capital netting an astonishing 110 goals and registering a total of 40 assists.

Barcelona already admitted that they contacted the players agent and reports across Spain underlines that the club even had meeting with the star's sister about the possible switch to Camp nou. Barca has a rich French connection and arrival of Greizzi would make it even stronger. Barca players openly admitted that he would be well received.

With the arrival of Greizmann the Barcelona attack force would be unstoppable. With the likes of Suarez, Messi, Dembele, and also Coutinho who can play multiple positions, Barca has one of the fearsome attack in club football. The addition of Greizmann would take the Catalan attack to a whole new level.

whats next...
Lets look some of the variants in which the incoming number 7 could fit in Barcelona. With the imminent departure of club legend Andres Iniesta, Coutinho would shift to that midfield role currently occupied by the maestro himself and hopefully we could see the best of Coutinho there. So the French international will enlighten the Laliga winners upfront along with Suarez and the legendary Leo messi.

4-3-3 Barcelona style.


With Greizmann on their side, Barcelona would probably go back to their old formation of 3 midfield players and 3 strikers. Almost every head-coach of Barca followed the 3 up front game-plan, valvarde being the exception. In the 4-3-3 line up Greizmann would absolutely fit in the left side of final 3 along with Messi and Suarez completing  the formation of deadly trio MSG. Valvarde could also use Messi as a false-9 in this type of formation with Greizii on left and his international team-mate Dembele on right. Surely the latter would bring tremendous pace and be vital in counter attacks.


4-4-2 flat valvarde style

It is the line-up that valvarde trust's the most. 4 man midfield has given Barca more stability and restricted goal scoring threats from counter attacking teams to an extent. If Valvarde plans to stick to this line up Suarez would be rotated or left out. Coutinho-Busquets-Raitick-Dembele would complete a 4 man midfield and Messi-Greizmann would pair upfront.

4-2-3-1 style






With the arrival of Greizmann I personally think the best formation is 4-2-3-1, as Valvarde being the master of it. Busquets and Roberto/Rakitic could hold the midfield and Greizmann-Coutinho-Messi could be the 3 creative force with Suarez up front. La-pulga can replace Suarez upfront and Coutinho-Greizmann-Dembele could form an astonishing trident. 


Whatever the line up will be the arrival of Greizmann would once again make Barcelona attack the best in the world and would be so hot to handle.
