Best midfielder around
Thank God. If we pay the same for Paulinho as we could've gotten Tolisso for, I'm done here.

Why Paulinho?

-For months, Barça has been searching the market for a player in their profile
-
Thus plays the Brazilian midfielder who points to the club blaugrana

The signing of Paulinho has not been an outburst of sports management after complicating the 'Verratti operation'. It was never one or the other; The plan was to achieve the arrival of both as they are two very different profiles.

In the case of the Brazilian, long ago Robert Fernandez gave his name ; His performances with Brazil ended up convincing him after being one of the most outstanding players since the arrival of Tite to the bench of the canary.

DEPLOYMENT AND OXYGEN FOR THE TRIDENT

Paulinho stands out above all for his physical display ; Is a formidable player in high pressure and one of those players who is accustomed to being in the right place in the second plays and divided balls. But it is not a static player; It is not a positional mediocentro. Paulinho is mostly a back and forth player. The sporting direction of Barça detected problems in the defensive structure of the last course.
The presence of the trident punishes the midfield and there Paulinho can give oxygen to the team. It does so in a Brazil that also has its own trident. Whether as an interior or in a double pivot, Paulinho is above all balance.

VERTIGO OR CONTROL? WHAT WILL THE NEW BARCA PLAY

A priori Paulinho fits better in the Barça of Luis Enrique of the last years. For his characteristics is a midfielder who is more comfortable in round-trip matches.

With field ahead is a soccer player able to tread the area and that is also a great asset in the aerial game. If Barca look for vertigo like last season - with fast transitions - Paulinho will feel comfortable . If the context is over maturing the plays, with rivals locked in their field, will suffer more.

HAS THE LEAGUE CHINA LOWERED ITS LEVEL?

In Brazil no one doubts his presence in the national team. The argument is clear: if when playing with the 'selection' yields, there is no problem in playing in a league less competitive . And his performances have been one of the most valued contributions of the 'canarinha' in all eight matches with the new coach. Especially in matches like Argentina. In Barça they are also clear: if you yield to that level in a selection like Brazil is that is ready to come.

VERSATILITY AND TACTICAL FLEXIBILITY

Throughout his career he has shown that he can adapt to various positions. At the start, if Valverde respects the 4-3-3, the right inside is the best context for him . With Busquets as mediocentro, can contribute in both areas thanks to its great physical deployment.

Moreover given the presence of Messi in that area, which would force him to empty into defensive tasks. But Paulinho can also occupy the midfield or even partner with Busquets in a 4-2-3-1, a typical system in the Valverde teams.

KNOWS WHAT IS COMING

Paulinho is clear about the role he would play at Barca de Valverde . In Guagzhou Evergrande plays with total freedom, but in the Barça would arrive to do, mainly, work of intendencia.

This is also the case in Brazil alongside players such as Neymar, Coutinho and Douglas Costa. The Brazilian is convinced that he can fit in and players like Ney very positively value his incorporation .

COLLATERAL DAMAGE

With his arrival - and that of another medium - midfielders would remain in the squad. Players like Rafinha, Denis or even Aleñá would have it very difficult. Is it even possible to sell some sacred midfield cow this summer?
