Brazilian commentators luckily are very good, at least the ones covering la liga.
About Tata, spot on. It's the same back 4 yet, and that's funny.
Not quite the same back 4

This guy is a genius, and after reading all the bashing in the first 2 pages even more
I always knew Juan Carlos Unzue had something special, the fact he was the one that got that useless Victor Valdes to perform when he took over in 2003 even though everyone and their mother were screaming for Rustu. In hindsight it wasn't a big surprise Valdes lost the plot not long after Unzue left, he was the only one capable to get him focused on his job.
Unzué is doing great work, but VV had some of his best times for us after he left. Especially the form he was in before he got injured. A mistake once in a while doesn't really count as losing the plot.
Of course if he doubled as Victor's accountant, you're right.
I'm thinking more about the antics of the pitch, he refused to work with the new GK coach he was asigned and behaved like a twat towards Zubi and the new board, also his performance in 2011-12 and 2012-13 were clearly worse than the years before, in fact Tito Vilanova wanted the club to sign a new GK to compete with him as his performance was clearly in decline at that time.
Around Xmas 2012 Unzue was on Catalan television discussing Victor Valdes, most of the questions from the presenter and the pundits were about his persona and why he was performing so much worse that season, according to Unzue Victor Valdes is basically a crackpot to work with and he admitted he was burned-out after working for 7 years with him. Busquets did a decent job but the guy that followed just could not handle him, this is where unzue exelled, he was more of a shrink to Valdes than a typical GK coach.
Basically, article says that Unzue is in charge of training both attacking and defending set pieces and Barca conceded only 1 entire season.
