Many fans criticized the signing of Paulinho with FC Barcelona this season, putting as an excuse that this is a player with no experience in Europe that comes to play in the Chinese Super League. However, the 29-year-old has been able to silence the mouth of more than one with the incredible performance I've had so far this season.
With half of season, Paulinho has been able to adapt to the scheme of Valverde.With a clear 4-4-2, the Brazilian has known how to attack the spaces from behind, reaching the opponent's area with ease and contributing his bit for the team. It can also be done indoors when one of the three 'untouchables' in the middle can not act.
In the first weeks of play as a azulgrana I have accumulated 45 minutes in his first 4 games, number that currently lose relevance.

Paulinho has become undoubted starter playing on average 67 minutes per game in the last 10 games, and standing out in the last 6 players less than 68 minutes.
When Barcelona decided to pay 40 million euros for him, he was not wrong. Valverde decided to bet on the Brazilian, for having a opposite profile of Iniesta, Rakitic and company.
Paulinho is now eight goals this season, something that makes him the midfielder with the most goals in the big leagues of Europe. He is also close to overcoming his best scorer record, established in 2016 with the Guangzhou, with 13 goals in 47 games.
Paulinho has played 25 games and is the third best scorer of Barcelona, with twice as many goals as Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale.
But his role could change in the coming days with the arrival of Coutinho. Until now I had been an untouchable player.
