Do Barcelona need a free kick specialist ?

[kkkkasd]

With Barcelona's style of players and play it's not surprising they get fouled more often than other teams.
Working around in tight spaces + lots of players under 180cm = Foul Bait

Barcelona currently don't really have a good free kick taker.
I've never seen Xavi score from one before.
Dani Alves can't keep the ball down and it almost always just goes flying over the top of the goal.
Messi can only take it in some positions and the distance has to be fairly close.

So, do you think Barca need someone that can capitalize on the amount of free kicks that they recieve ?
Because teams aren't afraid to foul Barca around the box because it's not really a threat.

Well, we can't just buy a player only for his free kick abilities. I think Pep has to make sure that the existing players train hard with free kicks. Remember, Alves was ballooning his crosses in the very recent past and none of the Barca players would shoot from distances. Those things changed. When the intention and effort are there, things change.

Just don't let Alves do the free kicks. He always hits the birds flying. Let Messi or Xavi handle them.

Yeah would love to see Keita smash some tbh.

Isn't Villa a good freekicker taker? We can try different things to see if it works or not.

It should definitely be Messi for the moment. Xavi sometimes, to put the ball in the box.

Messi has improved a lot, his freekicks are very dangerous now

He scored last season against Villareal with a free kick. I think we have guys enough for free kicks

- Xavi
- Messi
- Villa

perhaps Keita when he's playing

 

[iookram]

We just need Dani Alves to get consistent with his free kicks.

Alves HAVE to stop take the free kicks!!
Free kick specialist is a bit much, but you can give the rest to kick. I think everything will be better than the way he kick lately.

Messi>Villa>Xavi>Keita>...>Alves... By kicking Alves away from the FK positions we'd automatically start scoring more from 'em

 

[gingerless]

yep... i feel alves is nagging too much to take the free-kick, don't like his attitude tbh
