Valverde Already looks downwards: Three players of the Barça B debuted with the first team

The FC Barcelona inaugurated this Wednesday his route in the Glass of the King 2018-19, and had to demand to the maximum to attain a victory worked against the Cultural Leonese. In spite of that the Barcelona did not show his best version, in the changing room preferred to value the triumph centring in the positive conclusions, and the true is that there was more than an appearance to stand out in the visit to the Realm de León.

Between the questions that more liked to the fans was the fact that at last the Masia reappeared in the planning culé, and did it with three debuts in an official party of the first team. In the pre-season the players of the filial were leading, but the friendly character of the clashes in the International Champions Cup had delayed a privilege that yesterday some himself could enjoy.

Juan Miranda, Chumi and Jorge Cuenca were headlines in a defence that completed Nélson Semedo, and that took advantage of to the maximum the possibilities that offered the regulation. With Jasper Cillessen again in the goal and several distinct options to reinforce the medullary, those that had to expect his turn were Iñaki Crag and Riqui Puig, that finally did not move of the bench.

The three showed that they follow improving his provision and that they can have route with the 'greater', with a naturalidad important in spite of the difficulties of the meeting. It is to expect that in future commitments the performance go to more, and that with this can have more weight some youngsters that are referents in the staff of Francisco Javier García Pepper.

The youngsters of the Barça have to coexist with the rule of the Glass of Rey

Although there was win to see to more canteranos, the Barça has to limit to the restrictions of the Glass of Rey, that only allows to range to four in the duels of this final phase. At all times it has to have seven members of the first team on the terrain of game, since if by some setback this requirement could not fulfil, the Catalans would risk to a sanction.

In this sense, Valverde preferred to cover and gave 90 minutes to Miranda and Chumi, but withdrew to Cuenca in the minute 60. The Txingurri opened then the door to a participation more, but finally was not necessary and the low limit to two during the final instants of the party, in which Carles Aleñá was the only footballer at stake that it keeps between both staff.
