Football, the value and gold content of the forward, has always been the focus of attention of fans, which also proves the fundamental concept of football, that is, to use goals to win, the so-called defense is only to pave the way for the attack, so the players on the forward line have always been the embodiment of the highest value in the transfer market.
When we see Barca from ninth to second this season, we are also thinking about a question, why in the case of the back line, the club is still happy to bring in a striker, which also shows a problem, the best defense is attack. And when the team is unable to break the deadlock, there will be dangerous signals in the backline. Psychological stress will also lead to losses.
This season, after Xavi took office, the improvement of the three lines is obvious to all, but the team does lack a goal-scoring striker, the presence of Messi at the beginning, covering up many of Barca's problems in the forward line, and when Messi left, the player who can stand up is a player who has been left many times, Busquets.
Busquets is a midfielder, and when age becomes an obstacle, Barca are still dependent on Busquets because there is no one to replace Busquets, and when the team can not guarantee victory, Busquets bravely stepped forward and appeared in a position he never appeared in.
Busquets has scored 3 goals in all competitions this season, which is already a central defender, a considerable statistic, and equaled the single-season scoring record of the 08-09 season, which is actually not worth showing off, because Busquets's job is to organize attacks and interceptions.
But barca in the case of unable to win, Busquets as the captain also has to become a part of the team to score goals, with their own actions to help Barca, this is not a strong victory, but forced to helpless. Due to the inability to break the deadlock on the forward line, Busquets could only appear in the offensive position.
This is a difficult point that Barca has not been able to break through in recent years, there are too many players in the forward line but have not been able to become the team's trusted super scorer, messi's departure has gradually reflected the team's various problems. But in this way, it was also ridiculed.
Messi has maintained a super high level of goals last season, but careful fans can see that Messi's shooting number outside the box is increasing, and there are also goals in the account, does Messi want to try various shooting aspects and positions? No, that's because Messi can't break into the box many times with the efforts of one person, which not only wastes the passing of his teammates, but also has a low success rate of goal conversion, so he has Messi's shot from outside the box.
This is the same as Busquets' idea, Messi and Busquets are La Masia players, the two have a good relationship, but also have a heart for Barca, when Messi is present, Busquets can rest assured that he is doing his job, but this season, the forward line, the only teammate who makes Busquets trust has left, then Busquets can only play the role of striker himself.
summary
The communication between the top stars is decisive and pure, just like Barça's Champions League knockout match against Real Madrid, Busquets' assist of the century can fully explain the problem, and now Barça, what is missing is this decisive and pure on-field communication, Messi has no left arm, can only try to shoot outside the box, and Busquets has lost the only trusted Messi, only to equal the single season goal record.
