The possible alignments of the Ajax-FC Barcelona (Champions J4)

After the bad image generated in the parties in front of Real Madrid and Celtic of Vigo, although the second of these meetings could have win with solvency if any of the four sticks that had the FC Barcelona had gone in to goal, the ones of Luis Enrique are forced, more than ever, to win against the Ajax of Amsterdam in the corresponding party to the fourth day of the Champions League for encarrilar the pass to the eighth of final of the European competition. A tie or a defeat would leave the too open group and propiciarían that the PSG, that already won to the FC Barcelona does some weeks, could distanciarse even more in the first position of the group.

In any case, the players are conscious that the transcendence of the meeting goes further of the result, but in addition to winning the team will have to show a good image to convince to some fans something disillusioned after the two consecutive stumbles in League BBVA, that have commanded to the Barça of the first to the fourth position in so only a day. Ter Stegen And Gerard Hammered will go back to be titleds, whereas up it expects again the presence of the three "cracks" offensive of the teams, Neymar, Luis Suárez and Leo Messi, needed of minutes to understand on the terrains of game and purchase the necessary chemistry as to combine between them with soltura.

The guardameta German is in theory the headline of Luis Enrique for the parties of Champions League, by what will have of a new opportunity to show his quality under sticks (although the intention is that it do not have to participate too). In spite of that it only has played three parties this season, Ter Stegen has fit already four goals between the received against Paris Saint-Germain in the second day and the one of the Ajax in the Camp Nou. Over time, however, it will win in experience and confidence until finishing showing all his virtues on the terrain of game.

The presence again of Dani Alves in the zone of right side, unless Luis Enrique bet for giving the second opportunity of the season an already recovered Douglas Pereira, seems clear. Beside the Brazilian, Hammered and Mascherano are those who split with greater possibilities to form couple title of head offices given the injury of Mathieu, the eternal absence of Vermaelen and to the fact that Luis Enrique does not finish to trust Marc Bartra. In the left-handed side, and without Mathieu like possibility, Jordi Alba is the maximum candidate to do with the titularity.

The one of Badía will go back to exert of defensive pivote in the medullary Barcelona and will have a new opportunity for resarcirse with a good performance of his bad start of season. Rakitic, besides, has gone down the level during the two last weeks and will have to also go back to be the "all-terrain" that went to principle of season. It is possible that Rafinha Alcántara was headline, but the fact that it went it against the Celtic of favourable Vigo the titularity of Xavi Hernández with a lot of more experience in European parties, and that will give a greater control in the centre of the field.

Up, and unless Pedro Rodríguez achieve to win him the game to any of the "three musketeers", seems that these will have a new opportunity pploughs congeniar on the terrain of game and assist mutually with the aim to send the balloon at the end of the network. Luis Suárez will play against the team in which it exploded futbolísticamente marking more than 110 goals in little more than 150 parties. Messi and Neymar, by his side, will have to recover the level goleador that had two weeks ago, when his connection allowed that the Barça won the parties without problems.
