After Barcelona fans have been waiting anxiously for a long time, Barcelona finally officially announced the joining of two major players: AC Milan champion midfielder Casey , Tottenham main center back Christensen officially joined the club. Team. Casey scored 6 goals last season and averaged 1.3 steals per game on the defensive end; Christensen is Chelsea 's defensive anchor, averaging 2.7 clearances and 1.5 interceptions per game. Barcelona's midfield core and defense core are all in place!
Barcelona has been experiencing the pain of the transition between the old and the new in recent seasons, especially after Messi left the team, it has highlighted the embarrassing situation that the veterans have become old and the newcomers have not yet matured. Looking back at Real Madrid was almost seamlessly rebuilt. While winning the Champions League title, it also created a new version of Valverde , Camavinga and Joan Ameni. Barcelona had to speed up its introduction. The pace of aid. Casey and Christensen are signings that meet the current needs of Barcelona. One is visa-free and avoids high transfer fees. The other is that Casey and Christensen are stars who are more powerful than famous and can help Barcelona rebuild. The perfect person for the down times.
Let’s talk about Casey first. It can be said that Barcelona had no midfielder last season. On the offensive end, no one except and de Jong could organize the offense. They relied on the forwards to single out the opponent's defense with their personal abilities. On the defensive end, all players were offline and could not organize an effective midfielder. Field interception and sweep. Casey is the best hexagonal all-around midfielder in Serie A . He has excellent running ability on the defensive end. He has accurate predictions of passing routes. He appears on the route in time to complete interceptions and steals. He is aggressive in defense, brave and good at it. Use physical confrontation to disrupt the opponent's shooting rhythm; have a strong sense of pressure on the offensive end, especially an excellent long-range shooting ability. With Casey, Barcelona will be able to complete a better transition, at least until the next top midfielder emerges after Khabaibu.
Let’s talk about Christensen. Barcelona's defense reached the point where no one was available last season. Pique has passed his prime and is determined to kill the enemy but cannot save him; Lenglet's strength has already reached the upper limit, and his strength cannot be criticized harshly; Umtiti is also a "negative asset", and Garcia is too young and inexperienced. Overall, the defense has no leader and is a mess. Christensen is a handsome central defender who is good at leading the defense and has the ability to command the defense; and his technical characteristics are excellent ability to prevent high-altitude headers, he has air superiority in the penalty area, and he has strong confrontation ability and can withstand the opponent's center. Give him a chance to turn around easily. These are things Barcelona desperately need. The editor is very optimistic that Christensen will reach a higher level in Barcelona and even reach the height of succeeding Pique.
Regarding the two signings of Casey and Christensen, the editor believes that money and energy are definitely spent wisely. The reinforcements are very targeted and target the two most important shortcomings. ; Moreover, he is not obsessed with chasing famous stars. It can be said to be a model operation of reinforcement and can be scored full marks.
Casey and Christensen are obviously not the end of Barcelona's signing operation this summer. At least they are still paying attention to Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso , Bayern Munich forward Lewandowski , Leeds United winger Rafinha and many other stars. If everything goes as Barcelona wishes, they will become the most competitive team in the new season, and perhaps they can also kick off a new generation of Barcelona dynasty.
