Preseason Statistic

Effectiveness in the air
Barça has scored five goals from headers this pre-season, a sign that the aerial play and strategy are other offensive means, which are being worked well. All that remains are goals from free kicks as the team has yet to score a goal from this kind of play.

Barça has scored 31 goals this pre-season, eleven of which were the work of midfielders and defenders. Goals are not just for the forwards. The whole team is involved in attacking moves.

One of the premises set out by manager Josep Guardiola when he took charge of the first team was the implication of all the players in defence and attack. Defending is not only a job for defenders and neither is attacking only for forwards. The players have taken note of this and in the pre-season 11 of the 31 goals scored by Barça were by midfielders and defenders, which accounts for 35% of the total.

The second line works
The midfielders have been particularly inspired in front of goal, especially Xavi Hernández, who scored three of the seven goals from players in the second line. The man from Terrassa is on a roll and we also have to add to the tally the goal he scored for the national squad on Wednesday against Denmark. Gudjohnsen, with two goals and Touré and Hleb with one, have also scored this pre-season.

The defenders score too
The attacking play of the defenders has paid off with four goals. Of these two were scored by the Barça captain, Carles Puyol, especially the one against Boca Juniors in the last Joan Gamper Trophy. Martín Cáceres and Márquez were the other goal scoring defenders for Barcelona.

Variety in attack
If we look back at the 31 goals scored this pre-season we will see a lot of variety. They have scored two with headers, from outside the box, from corners, goals scored from crosses from the wing, in individual actions and in fast triangulations. Sylvinho summed it up well in Tuesday’s press conference: “We have players who finish the play off well. Others push up dangerously from the second line. It’s also important to have good players on the wings and that the crosses come in as we already have players who specialise in interior play, capable of triangulating, blocking and dribbling.”

the conclusion is we score 31 goal in preseason and we has yet to score goal from freekick
i really miss Ronaldinho freekick

i wont worry as we still have xavi and marquez for free kicks...
Hell even back in those days, henry takes freekicks for arsenal

wat makes me more worried is the lack of size...
our players are really not the physically tallest around...
They might get pushed around, if the ref is too lenient, we're gonna be pretty frucked

physically... well ure not really fighting against teams in BPL where physical really comes into account. so i think it wont be a prob as long barca dont meet any epl team during ECL round.
please try to emulate madrid this term, m sooo looking forward to bojan. shud b a 17 years old 1st team already ay

yeah you are right..barca always got problems against EPL teams because of that..thats why barca bought keita and hleb..keita with good physique and hleb with good work rate..i think pep is doing a good job because he knows what he should do, which is finding a balance in the team, and he has done exactly that, although maybe it is better if he gets one or two more signings

and hell yeah, just wait for bojan to shine  

the conclusion is we score 31 goal in preseason and we has yet to score goal from freekick
i really miss Ronaldinho freekick

talking about freekick,Alves also good in free kick when play for Seville
Henry,Xavi and Marquez also can take free kick but Ronnie`s more good,just watch how intelligent he score against Bremen last season

btw tomolo we meet Wisla again,4 goal already enuf but im want win again to continue our 100% record this season
