Although the initial idea was that the youngster carrilero left-handed of the Barça B, Juan Miranda, could alternate his participations in the filial with the parties of the FC Barcelona to exert of acting left side when it was necessary, in the Barcelona club have reflexionado on this and exists in the actuality an internal debate on which has to be the course of said position.

With Jordi Alba like titling indisputable in the left lane of the defence, the doubt is in if attend or no to the market of signings of winter, of here to some months, to reinforce to the staff of the first team with the arrival of a player that can compete with Jordi Alba by the titularity or at least relieve him with guarantees when the one of L'Hospitalet was not available.

Jordi Alba will not be able to play all the parties of the season 2018-19, and Juan Miranda still would not be of the all prepared to assume challenges of such requirement, when having 18 years and be Juvenile does hardly some months, without having played hardly split with the Barça B.

The FC Barcelona walks something lacking of effective in said demarcation, and is thus that the option of fichar to some reinforcement during the market of winter every time earns more sense, after to the of L'Hospitalet have seen him renqueante even in some party after defensive actions of physical contact with rival players.

The FC Barcelona, with alternatives in the staff

Another alternative, that would cancel the need of fichar, would be the one to reposition in the left lane of the defence to Thomas Vermaelen, Samuel Umtiti or Sergi Roberto when Jordi Alba was not available. The central French could be able to play in said demarcation -although it would not contribute at all to offensive level-, whereas Vermaelen already has played some time of side.

Sergi Roberto was repositioned years backwards from the centre of the field to the right side, and in some punctual occasion has played also of left side forced by the circumstances. It would not be so rare, having to Nélson Semedo in the bench, that Ernesto Valverde tested to the of Reus in the contrary lane of the defence if the script demands it. Alternatives will not be missing him to the Barça, this is clear.
