📰 [MD - @gbsans] | The team restructuring that Koeman plans

The coach plans to return to 4-3-3 now that he will recover the injured forwards, and will reorder the midfield and defense

@gbsans Koeman's plan is to have a stable, chevroned defense that he can rotate to, and Alba is fundamental today, so much so that Koeman did not want to force him against Atlético

@gbsans He trusts Piqué, but his starting role could go through an 'impasse', which could see figures like Lenglet's re-emerge

@gbsans The core will go through an adjustment of the pieces, with a pivot that allows transition and guarantees physical performance

@gbsans Barça's big problem is not having found a replacement for Busquets, but the bet now is Nico, who must continue to have minutes

@gbsans The center midfielders must be more creative, but it cannot be ruled out that Frenkie will sit deeper occasionally and closer to the defensive axis, because Barça's engine tends to stop carburating

@gbsans His great asset is the recovery of those injured in attack, with the he return of Ansu Fati and the absolute recovery now of Kun Agüero, also, shortly, Dembélé's, whose return Koeman considers essential

@gbsans Hence, his predisposition to change the system with three forwards, but what is inevitable is that Barça must return to the market in January to find a center forward, Koeman has made that clear
