Ernesto Valverde is reportedly planning a new tactical system for the new season and wants to revert back to a 4-3-3 formation.
The Barcelona boss predominantly played a 4-4-2 last season as the club won a domestic Double in his first season in charge. It was not wholly popular with supporters who felt the team’s style of play was being compromised under Valverde despite the good results.
However, according to Sport he’s intent on returning to a 4-3-3 with Philippe Coutinho set to play a major role in his first full season with the club.
