The FC Barcelona follows recovering feelings in full pothole of the month of February, but his mejoría is arriving little by little. The jam of the last weeks by the fault of fluidity parked this Tuesday in the duel against the Olympique of Lyon, in which the elder reproach for the culés was his bad puntería. There were several very commented subjects after the meeting, but there are some of them that have justification.
Between the greater surprises that produced during the party coló the replacement of Ousmane Dembélé, that was being one of the best on the green. The one of Vernon threw of the car with his combinations with Leo Messi and his started by the left band, that during a lot of minutes were one of the most dangerous arms of the Catalans. In spite of everything, in the minute 67 yielded his place to Philippe Coutinho.
The first argument of Ernesto Valverde is that the dynamics no change without the youngster, since with the carioca were still raining the occasions. In spite of that it does not go through his best moment, the Brazilian joined to a team dumped and supported to Jordi Alba and Ivan Rakitic in the left-handed profile, of where went out several passes to the area that the forwards could not materialise. This time there is not at all that criticise him.
Besides, it is necessary to take into account that the Frenchman goes out of an injury, and that it has to be important in the commitments that are for coming. It is evident that is recovered and that the most important appointment was the one of the OL, but with Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán and Santiago Bernabéu (in two occasions) in sight, can be determinant that keep fit but without wearing out more than the necessary. With this type of rests, could be headline in all the crashes that are for coming.
If it was necessary to agitate the zone of attack, also were candidates Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, but the technician the descartó by several reasons. To the Argentinian, obviously, because it treats of the best player of the planet and the greater generator of game of the Barça, and to the Uruguayan, by an adjust tactical. With the Lyon shut, the '9' can exert of reference and is an expert in the game of backs, and although it was not atinado in the ending, contributes a lot of qualities more.
Coutinho In the centre of the field is a danger for the contras
Another of the questions after the change was the reason does not put to Coutinho of interior, but the answer also is simple. The Txingurri prefers to balance the medullary with several options that have visited to backwards (like Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic or Arturo Vidal), something that the one of Rio de Janeiro does not offer. So important like marking was to go out without fitting, something that attained without too many worries. With the swift attackers of the OL, this had been an unnecessary risk, since it is necessary to think that the eliminatory last 180 minutes.
