Barcelona Fan Proposes Tactical Shift in Best Eleven: Joao Felix’s Inclusion and Creative Tweaks

Passionate Barca fan Neal shares his vision for the Catalans’ current best eleven, but it comes with a couple of intriguing surprises – no Oriol Romeu and, surprisingly, no Joao Felix.

Neal’s proposed lineup features Ter Stegen; Araujo, Kounde, Inigo; Christensen, De Jong; Pedri, Gundogan; Ferran, Lewandowski, Cancelo. The selection introduces two notable tactical tweaks: Joao Cancelo taking the advanced left-back role instead of Alejandro Balde, a move that proved effective against Porto; and Andreas Christensen stepping into the defensive midfielder position instead of Oriol Romeu, a decision backed by the player’s reported readiness.

While acknowledging the solid foundation of Neal’s idea, some fans suggest incorporating Joao Felix into the starting lineup, perhaps with Ferran Torres as a substitute. The dynamic nature of Cancelo’s position allows room for creative adjustments, with Felix potentially playing close to Lewandowski or even on the right wing.

The article encourages discussion around this proposed lineup, emphasizing the potential for defensive solidity and attacking creativity. It invites readers to share their thoughts on this tactical experiment and whether it could be the key to a more robust and inventive Barcelona on the field.
