Enrique’s 3-man Defense
Lastly, a right-back may not be needed. Many who have witnessed Enrique’s practices believe that Barcelona may play a 3-man defense instead of a four. Some think it may be a 3-4-3 or a 3-4-1-2/ 3-2-3-2. Ben Hayward makes a mention of Enrique’s plan on Goal.com. Regardless which formation is played, Alves does not fit in any of those systems. Cuadrado’s transfer feels reasonable if this is true. In this case, having Alves sitting on the bench is a waste.
With all that was stated previously, the time for Alves to go is now. Keeping him for another season harms club and player. His form may drop and lose interest from top clubs, Since his contract ends next year, Barcelona would lose an opportunity to cash out on the Brazilian.The Barcelona administration need to think it through.
What do you think, time for Alves to go?
