Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona certified this Wednesday the pass to eighth of final of the Glass of Rey, after repeating victory against the Cultural Leonese in the Camp Nou. The Catalans recovered some good feelings that escaped in the Realm de León, and attained it with a choral triumph in which there was big news to individual level and, besides, noticed the hand of Ernesto Valverde.

And it is that, in spite of the criticisms and to a rather conservative character, the Txingurri did a plenary in his programming of the party, and hit with the rotations atinando with rests and opportunities. It is true that treated of a rival of inferior category that desinfló when seeing the eliminatory decanted, but also is necessary to recognise that there were several examinations and the extremeño happened them with note.

He same warned in press conference that given the requirement of the calendar did not remain him more remedy that risk: "we Have to throw of all the staff for the parties of Glass. That is the intention. Already we will see who touches us... We can not be with 11 or 13 players in all the competitions. It is well that the acting give this level".

Goal

Under sticks, the decision of the trainer was very simple, because Jasper Cillessen is the best alternative to Marc-André Ter Stegen. The Dutch never fails when his team needs him, and went back to resolve with seriousness the few difficulties in which they put him the Leoneses. His mosqueo was important when the Cultu attained to mark, in a played in which had something of bad fortune.

Defence

To start with, key rotations, with rest for the headlines and the inclusion of Thomas Vermaelen, Chumi and Juan Miranda. Two youngsters that needed minutes and a veteran that shows that if it did not go by the injuries, would struggle by the titularity in the Barça. Besides, in what it could also it withdrew to Nélson Semedo, to avoid risks with the only right side healthy. The luso is demanded in the last weeks and left to his place to Clément Lenglet, that acted like head office and displaced to the Galician to the band.

Centre of the field

The drop of last hour of Arturo Vidal forced to Valverde to improvise, and opted for delivering efforts with two footballers to which pretended to freshen, Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets. 45 minutes for each one in a meeting that would prefer that they had not played, but in which, in spite of everything, enjoyed of something of free time. In the another extreme stands out the bet by the Masia, that in this case shined with Oriol Busquets, Carles Aleñá and the debutante Riqui Puig. Not to suffer any fright with the rule, the one of Sant Feliu left his place to the of Matadepera, what kept the quota of three footballers of the filial in the eleven -allow four at the same time-.

Forward

The technician bet by Malcom, Munir The Haddadi and Denis Suárez, and the played went out him round because the three marked and took advantage of the opportunity. It is in these meetings where the less usual can step forward, and with a quite complete performance, have arisen alternative that they can be very useful for LaLiga and for the Champions. The only problem, that is out of the human control, is that the Brazilian finish lesionado and will be some days of drop.
