Barcelona may have lost against Real Madrid earlier in the week, but do they should make major modifications to defeat Los Blancos? Barcelona were not only beaten by Real Madrid on Tuesday, they were outclassed. Despite a preliminary amount of prominence, the Blaugrana just couldnat make the development against a Madrid defense; and by the full time they did, it was too late. Courtesy of a support from Cristiano Ronaldo and a from Raphael Varane, Real were 3-0 up by the full time Jordi Alba scored; they'd a, and it was executed by them perfectly. The question is: does Barcelona have an answer to that particular game-plan? On their day, I maintain that Barcelona could defeat Real Madrid. They've done it before; they can and will do it again a' itas just a matter of whether they conduct for their full potential. But, as numerous have noted, itas impossible that Barcelona may have significantly increased since Tuesday a' maybe they need a slight tactical rethink; nothing extreme a' above all, BarAa need to maintain their faith in the process, but a couple of tweaks couldnat hurt: particularly when those tweaks help address the manifest weaknesses Madrid revealed at the Camp Nou. Concept One a Alves on RW One of the major criticisms of Barcelonaas attack on Tuesday was that no-one followed back. Given, it isnat their job to defend a itas their job to score a' but often the defense requires a little help, particularly against resistance as harmful as Real Madrid. With this at heart, why don't you force Dani Alves ahead to the right-wing? Alves wouldn't only find a way, but willing to track back, and his presence on the right-wing may possibly provide the best out of Lionel Messi as well. The pair are renowned for their almost telepathic understanding together and, while Messi wasnat particularly at his most useful on Tuesday, he almost truly could have benefitted from a "partner in crime" as they say. Alvesa place would be taken by adriano in defense and given his (although brief) experience of enjoying centre-half, the Brazilian may let the Blaugrana defense to protect for the attack-minded Jordi Alba. Thought Two: Mascherano at pivote a Sergio Busquets in midfield With Xavi hurt, Barcelona desire a replacement a' and who better to replace Xavi than Sergio Busquets? Composed in person by having an vision for a move, Busquets is a lot more than capable of doing the "Xavi role"; the only real issue is that no-one else is fairly as accomplished as Busquets at playing the...well, Busquets role. After all, in his time with the senior team, Busi hasn't only homeless Yaya Toure, but his own place was secured by heas in the pantheon of all-time midfield greats. On another hand, before Barcelona transformed Javier Mascherano to centre-half, the Argentine was arguably the worldas initial midfield destroyer. Surely the clear answer is obvious? Au contraire whenever Mascherano has played at pivote, problem frequently uses a' think back to Hercules for a memory a' so just why should Roura also ponder over it as an solution? Well, Busquets would nevertheless be on the area, and if required, BarAa would have the workers to alter to a fairly hazardous 3-4-3 (or even another 4-3-3 with Carles Puyol at right-back). With both Busi and Masch on the subject, Jordi Alba and Dani Alves could be free to maraud up and down the flanks without fear of repercussions a' providing the Blaugrana with width and potentially stretching the Madrid defense. Thought Three a Adriano at CB Barcelona moved Adriano to center of security within the last La Liga Clasico out of necessity; though given the threat that Real Madrid cause on the counter-attack a' you could argue that Barcelona are in desperate need of some type of a solution to that issue. Nearly all the Madrid attacks were directed down the left-flank a and if Adriano starts at centre-half, he'd maintain an excellent position to cover for his colleague. Sergio Busquets is good at dropping deep to create a defense when necessary, even though in this, he does open up a substantial difference between your BarAa defense and midfield. Therein lies the problem with all the "ideas" a in principle, they may solve a particular problem, but as Barcelona effort to solve one "problem", they may make another worse or alternatively create new ones that they've to contend with. Sure, Alves could play in attack, Busquets could play within an advanced level midfield role and Adriano could play at centre-half, but can it be worth the chance? In place of concentrating on a new program, and sometimes even any tactical change, perhaps the Blaugrana will be better advised to simply carry on making use of their initial game-plan. Whenever AndrAs Iniesta starts in midfield with Lionel Messi, David Villa and Pedro in strike a' three points generally follow. Do you feel that Barcelona need certainly to change their game-plan if they want to conquer Real Madrid, or do you have faith in the staff to pull through no matter whether Roura makes a tactical change?
