Out record scorer in the league Neymar

It's another Neymar. Much more adapted and more effective. The Brazilian smashed yesterday in Almeria League scorer last record. If last year it took all the championship to score 9 goals, this time with 11 days have been enough to score 10 goals. Still 27 games ahead and if it is able to maintain this fast pace, it could reach 34 goals.
Neymar did not appear in the starting lineup, to the surprise of many, when he was one of the regular members of the staff and players. Luis Enrique chose to leave him on the bench breaking a sequence of 7 consecutive starts. So far, the Brazilian had missed the first day of injury against Elche and had been a substitute in the next two against Villarreal and Athletic.
It was not an impediment to be premiered with a double to the locals. That day proved that this season will live at breakneck speed. In Mediterranean Games, Ney took 28 minutes to find the net and level the match. He left alternate replaces Pedro and took very good care of Luis Suarez. It was the beginning of the first great comeback. He was playing out in more cash as extreme.

Pichichi template
It was his tenth goal in the league with just 11 rounds played. Exceeded 9 2012-2013. In its first year, the Brazilian intervened in 26 days but now fortune. A telling statistic: In this same time period had scored only three goals for Real Sociedad Real Valladolid and Madrid.
This time, with a supersonic rate. They have 7 games enough to become the team's top scorer, ahead of Messi leading 7. Since 2006 no one had discussed the leadership of Argentina. Yesterday, I had some more time but proved inconsequential in intent and auction.

The brace against Athletic led to a goal in the Levante Stadium. As the whole team fell to zero in Malaga but thereafter began a run of four games (in week 6 through 9) are browsing door: a hat trick to Granada, the same to Ray, one more to Eibar and harmless against Real Madrid. There was continued against Celta

The debate over whether to play Mascherano and Busquets together opens

After 12 official games played (nine and three Champions League), the two losses of the season Barca Luis Enrique only have come against opponents more packing against PSG in Paris (3-2) Real ycontra Madrid at the Bernabeu (3-1).
Although losing to rivals such comes within reason, even more so considering that in both cases the fall came home, the fact is that, especially after the Classic, voices have been raised calling for a tactical response to this type of major parties, namely a jolt in the engine room in midfield.
The triangle formed by Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi, head and so deservedly legendary in the final in Rome (2009) and Wembley (2011), was the best of the Asturian coach on Saturday and although it came to rest with dignity, lost breath in the second incapable of taking control of the situation and less on the physical section.
The commitment trident forming Messi, Neymar and Suarez, who presumably will start from now, is a constant threat for the opponent but can unbalance the team if it is not delivered in pressure without the ball goes off the its average with each turnover, a symptom that was evident at the Bernabeu.

Guardiola had to Keita
There are several solutions. Pep Guardiola in his day used to add muscle in the first discerning and then shifts with Toure Keita, both complexed certainly nothing in the treatment of the ball despite his physical presence.
Gerardo Martino, to cite a more recent example, populating the midfield with a fourth piece, if any Iniesta making false end, a variation imitated their predecessors but almost always successful. Rijkaard, meanwhile, did not correct their poor start to the club he joined as Edgar Davids inside containment.

Solidarity and pressure
Luis Enrique as MD published last Tuesday, also drew his conclusions about the Classic and detected weakness in the global defensive side of the team, ie, the absence of pressure in the front, little support in the media and individual mistakes on defense.
Solidarity is the glue that makes a solid team. Luis Enrique's missed in Paris and Madrid. Faced rivals less entity can be enough because quality makeup indolence but to opponents that lack weight comes to the surface.

From 'little chief' boss
Luis Enrique takes players to tactically correct and strengthen their midfield when the occasion demands. The highlight of his current state of formaes Javier Mascherano, central midfielder at the Bernabeu but for example against Eibar.
The Argentine, who has always been considered a defensive midfielder and thus reached second place in the World Cup with Argentina playing a lead role, had always been central to Guardiola, who reinvented there, and with Vilanova and Martino, but now Luis Enrique has rescued him punctually at your favorite demarcation.
True, Sergio Busquets, how could it be otherwise, it is considered a mainstay for Luis Enrique, but the Badia is not at its best and no one to ask for a break for it, leaving a vacancy that could fill Mascherano.
But the big question is whether the two players, considering just the extra sacrifice causes play with Neymar, Messi and Suarez ahead, could play together. Talk of double pivot Barca may sound like heresy but it would need to get to that.
Busquets innate ball-winner and quick combination play, it would be an internal support for the Argentine spectacular. Guardiola, though little, did you play on occasion and interior. There are more players who could play that role in the pressure demand by youth and technical deployment.

Rakitic, which surprisingly did not play the Classic owner, pointing to a basic piece in that sense, while Rafinha, with little participation due to injury, is perhaps too offensive but not at all ruled out.

Play and win with two midfielders

Perhaps the example most square with the current Barca three power forwards is 2002 Brazil won the World Cup with Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho up and Gilberto Silva and Kleberson keeping the back with a double pivot. Use a pair of parallel midfielders ahead of the defense does not mean giving up football associations.
The Spanish Forest impregnated Barca model included a hue joining Busquets and Xabi Alonso in that area and the result are known to all: Iniesta embroidered against Holland and scored the winning goal.
The triplet Bayern Heynckes played with a 4-2-3-1 and Germany who dazzled the world and crushed Brazil at the World Cup decided Schweinsteiger, Khedira and Kroos in half that talent and physical deployment mixed equally.

The current Bayern Guardiola, without going further, opt for a model like putting Xabi Alonso in the midfield, Lahm, converted to inner side, and Alabama, the same case but left in a very strong core.
