Mané-Firmino-Salah: The Barça confronts to a trident demoledor

If the FC Barcelona wants to be in the final of the Champions League 2018-19 the next 1 June, in Wanda Metropolitan, will have to brake in semifinals to one of the offensive tridents more fearsome of the planet: the one who form Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino. The Liverpool has the luck to have of three of the best attackers of the world, that together improve even more his skills.

Egyptian, Senegalese and Brazilian complement to perfection in the attack 'network', developing better his potential when have space to run to the contragolpe, although also with capacity to associate and generate danger in static attacks. Mohamed Salah is magic and speed; Sadio Mané is dribbling, physical power and smell goleador; and Roberto Firmino is the anchor that nourishes to his two mates of assistances and spaces to be taken advantage of, with skill so much to initiate played as to finalise them.

The defence of the FC Barcelona will have to put all his attention in braking the tackled of the trident 'network', especially in the Camp Nou. Receive one or more goals in the sanctuary culé would be a losa very difficult to raise, and could decide even the eliminatory if the Barça is not inspired by Anfield. To be able to stop them, however, the key is to know them well:

Sadio Mané, disequilibrium and smell of goal

To his 27 years, the Senegalese already is one of the stars of the moment. This season has contested 45 parties, in which it has annotated 24 goals in spite of not being this his main work. 41 million euros paid the Liverpool to the Southampton does some years, and what more values of him is the effectiveness and the commitment. Sadio Mané Never leaves to run, presionar and encarar to the rival defence.

It does not have the 'glamour' of Mohamed Salah, but legends like Jamie Carragher already have baptised him like "the best signing" of the era Klopp. In the last dates has spoken on the interest of the Real Madrid in ficharle, but in Anfield are convinced to retain him. "It is unpredictable, but also has to be more constant", said does some years the current seleccionador Dutch, Ronald Koeman, the one who had him to his orders in the Southampton.

It was in May of 2015 when it marked the 'hat-trick' faster of the history of laPremier League: three goals in two minutes and 56 seconds to the Aston Villa. Jürgen Klopp asked then his signing for the Liverpool, where has found the stability fútbolística and personal that needed so that anybody accuse him of fault of regularity, something with what lidió in his previous clubs. Although it is not Salah, mark almost so many goals like him and is able to play so much in left band as in the right, although from the arrival of Salah is used to to act of left-handed extreme.

Mohamed Salah, the magic that lights Anfield

To his 26 years, the Egyptian already can say that it has been third in a gala FIFA The Best. The past season struggled elbow with elbow with Leo Messi by the Boot of Gold, that finally carried the Argentinian. This course is not offering so good numbers, although they keep on being remarkable. 48 parties and 25 goals, some of them of very beautiful bill.

The Liverpool paid to the Rome 42 million euros by him in summer of 2017, and to the orders of Klopp has attained to explode. At present it is the big reference in the attack of the Liverpool, conditioned by his magic. It is used to to start from the right flank -as Messi in the Barça-, but has all the freedom of the world to deploy his skills by where want to. Klopp Saw in him what did not see other technicians like Mourinho, the one who did not want him for Chelsea, that yielded him to the Fiorentina and, afterwards, to a Rome in which it neither finish to explode, in spite of some good parties.

Now, Mohamed Salah already is one of the 100 more influential "people of the world" according to the magazine 'Time', the one who indicates that. It played in Switzerland, Italy and now in England, where is an idol. The FC Barcelona will have to tie him in short without falling, however, in actions little sportive like which starred Sergio Bouquets to brake him in the final of the past Champions League. If Salah had been able to follow playing... What would have happened?

Roberto Firmino, much more that a 'nine'

To his 27 years, the Brazilian forward has played this season 46 parties and annotated 16 goals, although no only marks goals. The Brazilian generates spaces that can be taken advantage of by Mané and Salah, endows them of assistances and initiates played offensive. To the purest style of Benzema, Firmino does not live got obsessed with the goal and devotes to play in profit of the team.

It is able to go down until the centre of the field to associate with his mates and participate in the creation of the played, something with what hallucinates one of the legends of the Liverpool, Steven Gerrard. "The people does not fix a lot in him, but for me is the key. It is the most important player. To him it interests him the same give an assistance like attaining a goal. It is absolutely genial when you see it closely".

Firmino can happen unobserved in some parties, but appears when the team more needs him. It does not arrive to the eliminatory against the FC Barcelona to 100% physically, but even so the Barça will have to tie in short his movements if has minutes.
