As it explained Ernesto Valverde does some weeks, the FC Barcelona does not think in the parties further of the that has in front, although it will have to go with care in his commitment in front of the Celtic of Vigo. When it shows the visit to the Stadium of the Ceramics, the Barcelona run the risk to lose to one of his best men for the demanding clash in front of the Villarreal.
It does some days that comments the situation, and after the drop of Gerard Hammered in Mestalla fits, like minimum, reflexionar on the possibility to reserve to Samuel Umtiti. The French went out indemne of the exits against the Leganés -where fell his mate- and Valencia, but follows playing in state of alert: If it sees a yellow will have to fulfil a party of sanction.
Although in what it goes of League has showed that there is not simple rival, yes is true that the Catalans have had fewer difficulties in the parties that have played home, where the Txingurri also has taken advantage of to do some rotations that prefers to separate when it competes to domicile. Attending to the calendar of the Barça to the end of the first turn, the most complicated will be far of the Camp Nou, where will touch to cross with Villarreal, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.
With the Frenchman in a state of exceptional form, his participation could be decisive, and to start with would be important that was against the group 'groguet'. Umtiti Has showed that knows to manage of wonder, but in a party with little risk and in a played absurd, to Hammered already touched him pay. It can not go back to repeat.
Option Vermaelen?
It sounds descabellado because it has not occurred never since it arrived to the Barça, but Ernesto Valverde could think in giving to Thomas Vermaelen his third consecutive party. The Belgian has surrendered to good level in the two titularities that has given him the technician, and has not showed symptoms of weakness after playing in a so complicated square like the one of Mestalla.
Although the players of attack of the Celtic characterise by his speed, the one of Kapellen already had a good proof against the group 'che', and in a duel that opened in some phases, did not suffer in excess in the fast played of transition that launched footballers of the size of Rodrigo, Guedes or Andreas Pereira. It goes back to be an option?
