Barcelona vs Sevilla: Jorge Sampaoli Mandatory Alert to His playing philosophy Alone

Sevilla has a grudge against Barcelona because it was defeated in the first round of La Liga this season. At a meeting back at the Camp Nou Stadium,  Wednesday, April 5, 2017, 7:30pm local time, Sevilla had a chance for revenge at home to Barcelona despite difficult. Sevilla itself will be difficult due to come to the Camp Nou Stadium without four players due to injury that Adil Rami, Benoit Tremoulinas, Gabriel Mercado and Michael Krohn-Dehli.

Nevertheless Barcelona could not be strengthened three players due to injury, namely Aleix Vidal, Arda Turan and Rafinha. However, the 3-4-3 formation that brought Barcelona in recent games has given a new variant in the composition of Barcelona's main squad. Moreover, it makes Neymar formation more aggressively as a left winger Barcelona. That is what most obliged to watch out for Sevilla who failed to win the last five games in all competitions.

Neymar More Freely with a 3-4-3 Formation

Barcelona were successful in implementing a 3-4-3 formation should be destroyed because defeated Deportivo La Coruna on March 12 last. But the defeat was quite reasonable because Neymar can not be passed on to the game. But the Brazilian player was ready to be lowered in this fight. The existence of Neymar will make the Barcelona attack from both sides of the field is more balanced. The gap between the full-back with a defensive midfielder or center back should be more alert to the presence of Neymar.

The cracks between the Sevilla players could be utilized speed and individual skills Neymar. Evidently some games Neymar always managed to take advantage of gaps opponent with either through positioning and individual actions. She lived the last five games as a winger in a 3-4-3 formation, Neymar has scored five goals and contributed four assists. 4-2-3-1 should be applied Sevilla should be able to overcome the gap in the game later.

Sevilla will pivot Holding Dual Lock Backlash

Steven N`Zonzi usually move to the right should not let the distance is too wide to Mariano who became a full-back right. But note the duet N`Zonzi Iborra in double shaft had to take the right decisions when attacking or defensive. The accuracy required in order N`Zonzi Iborra quieter shifted to the right to escort Neymar. Iborra decision to match N`Zonzi will be important in this match so that the front of the penalty box could not be exploited Barcelona.

Because when N`Zonzi closing the gap with full-back right, Iborra should menajadi player Leonel Messi maintain flexibility which often moves in front of the penalty box. Messi tends to be the last man to complete possession of central Barcelona. Therefore N`Zonzi and Iborra aggressiveness will be decisive in the struggle for the ball duel in the area of ​​Sevilla. Aggressiveness Iborra and N`Zonzi should be able to undermine the dominance of possession Barcelona.

It's good Iborra more patience to ride ahead. Because the appendix Barcelona when constantly to control the ball in the Sevilla area will provoke the persistence puz forward to help the attack. At that moment Iborra and N`Zonzi Barcelona must decide control of the ball as quickly as possible in order to launch a quick counter-attack. The action could take advantage of the empty spaces in the Barcelona defense, especially in the field.

Pragmatism Jorge Sampaoli Can Be Boomerang

Barcelona habits just do the pressing on its own territory may be altered in this match. Barcelona is expected to put pressure on the third since the end of the Sevilla defense. Because as explained earlier that the back line and the middle of the build-up greatly affects the Sevilla attack. Barcelona pressure at such a late Barcelona could block the drain lines ready N`Zonzi ball to his colleagues, especially to the side of the pitch.

Barcelona must ensure that the Sevilla midfield could not drain the ball to the wings. In later matches the second possibility Sevilla wing-back will not be too aggressive to help the attack. And it should be able to make the defense Barcelona quieter for Sevilla winger will further go down to receive a pass from the middle. The feed length can indeed become an alternative Sevilla in the game later deal with possession for the sake of Barcelona (in the region of Seville).

Even pressure in the final third of the opponent's defense could have occurred while Sevilla play at home to Barcelona. For Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli known as quite pragmatic strategies in the region pressing the opponent. But still do it at home to Barcelona strategy could backfire pleasure for Sevilla and Sampaoli. As well as the last five games without a win since the boomerang of pragmatismenya own.

Conclusion

High pressing strategy Sevilla believed to be troublesome Barcelona. Especially when considering Barcelona face an opponent that is often difficult to apply a high pressing and aggressive as Sevilla. But Barcelona were trained Luis Enrique has a wealth of tactics so that he is likely to be the situation in the field later. Moreover, Sampaoli is unlikely to change the philosophy in every game.
