This next Sunday, an hour before the balloon throw to film in the Ciutat of València, will know the alignment of the FC Barcelona and will know who of the two, Ousmane Dembélé or Philippe Coutinho, remains out of the eleven headline. And it is that Ernesto Valverde is showing reacio this season 2018-19 to range them together, also with Leo Messi and Luis Suárez up.

The past campaign used in occasions to Coutinho of left interior, in the ancient position of Iniesta, beside the 'MSD' up. This endowed to the FC Barcelona of a capacity goleadora tremenda, given the predisposition of 'Cou' to approach always to the rival area and to finalise played with his big far shot. Nevertheless, said option generated some disequilibriums in shape of gone and come, of area to area.

This campaign, Ernesto Valverde is opting for reflecting on the terrains of game an eleven type something more conservative, with a centre of the field in which Busquets and Rakitic are fixed, with Arturo Vidal, Arthur, Aleñá and the rest of midfield players contesting the remaining position in the interior. This causes that Coutinho or Dembélé have to remain in the bench.

160 million euros cost the Brazilian, by the 105 'kilos' fixed more 40 in variables of Ousmane Dembélé. If we do the average, around 150 million euros in the bench, when one of the two talentosos offensive players of the FC Barcelona remains in the footpath.

The 'Txingurri' could surprise us to all and range them together in front of the Raise, although to day of today antoja little likely. The safest is that Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé are ranged up, taking advantage of the soltura and desparpajo with that is playing the French in the last weeks. This would command to the bench to a Coutinho that carries some weeks desacertado.

They will be able to play together Dembélé, Coutinho, Messi and Suárez?

The Tuesday had the opportunity to redeem against the Tottenham in Champions League, and the true is that it was about to to mark in two occasions, of have not been because his shots crashed in the stick. So much Coutinho like Dembélé possess a talent incomensurable, and the látima is that for the time being, with Valverde to the control, can not play together.

They will be able to do it in a future? With the 'four fantastic' up, in rhombus, the FC Barcelona could monopolise the balloon if presiona as it is owed after loss, and win the parties by goleada. This yes, desprotegería the centre of the field, and the contrary teams is possible that arrived with a greater ease to the area of Marc-André Ter Stegen. The time will say how finish managing the situation Valverde in what it subtracts of course.
