3) Ronald Koeman has a new tactic against stubborn defences

Barcelona have been facing tough sides and defeating them however, their biggest accomplishment has been breaking through the stubborn defensive units. Koeman’s men play attacking football but have found it hard to break through brick walls such as Paris Saint-Germain. The French side defended with a lot of men in the box and the Catalans were unable to score more than one goal against the tough side. Huesca planted a lot of men in the box to stop the Blaugrana from scoring so the Catalans just decided to take shots from outside the box. This turned out to be very productive as they scored three of their four goals from outside the box. It looks like the Dutch manager has found a way to break past these stubborn defences.
