The FC Barcelona will jump to the lawn of Mestalla, this Thursday, with the big majority of his best players in the alignment title, with the will of not suffering more than the account to seal the presence culé in a new final of the Glass of the King 2017-18.
Ernesto Valverde would have more than outlined the eleven with which will confront to Valencia, and in him will look for find depth from the beginning to generate some that another dangerous occasion of goal and, with a target in contrary field, put already earth of by half in the eliminatory of semifinals against the group trained by Marcelino García Toral.
The 1-0 that harvested the Barcelona in the Camp Nou will force to Valencia to go out to the attack for empatar the eliminatory, what will leave spaces backwards and will differentiate notably this party of the of does a week in the Barcelona sanctuary, when Valencia went out to shut in his own field and hardly generated danger against the goal of Cillessen.
The spaces that give in Mestalla will be taken advantage of in attack by Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and surely Coutinho, that will act in the position of left extreme almost with total security, unless Valverde bet by Paulinho or Aleix Vidal for his place.
The strategy of the Barça, very meditada
In the centre of the field, Busquets and Rakitic will exert of men of containment, but also will distribute balloons to the forward, so that Paulinho, Coutinho or Iniesta -if it plays- are the stick perfect for Leo Messi and Luis Suárez in the line of last pass before shooting.
The FC Barcelona has spare resources to take out a good result of Mestalla and mark a goal with which sentence practically the eliminatory. Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba, in the sides, will be keys in the generation of offensive game with his rises by the bands, forcing to the extremes of Valencia to back. Everything is thought. Now it is missing to put it in practice.
