Calendar of FC Barcelona

The one of this Friday has been an intense morning for a lot of teams of the diverse national categories, because it has made the draw of the dieciseisavos of final of the Glass of Rey. The FC Barcelona has remained matched with the Cultural Leonese, a varied opponent levels underneath but that knows very what is to measure to the Barcelona. In another edition that are had to win, the Catalans have several aims.

It will be on 31 October when they start his career in the competition, in which they expect to revalidate title after winning the last four of consecutive form. By something the culés are known like the 'Rey of Glasses', since to his 30 entorchados only follow them from the distance the 23 conquered by the Athletic Club. This year, in spite of everything, would have to have novelties in his approach.

After reorganising his priorities after several years of shortage, in the highest has remained the Champions, although anybody in the changing room wants to forgive trophies. What himself could give is a more adjusted management of the staff, that would include more rest for the indisputable in a championship that will balance the leadership with the rest. That is to say, that the less usual will have a plot that has to turn into intocable. 

Ernesto Valverde has to encourage for freeing to his headlines and motivate to his acting, something that, equally, could repercutir positively in the other tournaments. If some footballer shines, can reinforce his candidature and be a solider alternative to the eleven. This applies to the first team to start with, but as already it agreed does time, also will extend to the filial.

This Glass has to mean the minutes that deserve the Cillessen, Malcom, Denis or Aleñá, but also Miranda, Riqui Puig, Abel Ruiz and other applicants of the Barça B. No descarta that Rafinha, Arturo or Munir lead the second unit to follow filming, but besides can be a good field of proofs to examine to the central of the quarry and to the possible futuribles to rise with the 'greater' or to support them in what it remains of campaign. Among others, the technician does not lose of sight to Oriol Busquets.

The Glass, an immediate solution, or on a long-term basis?

This strategy does not present excessive changes with regard to the way of the Barça of encarar the Glass in the last years, but it will be necessary to check if there is an adjust key. In addition to the first rounds, the Catalans could keep his bet by the less usual in the following, what would have the double aim to rest to the men of confidence of Valverde and besides happen examination to the rest. It will be difficult, but this can be the Glass of the King of the opportunities.
