The FC Barcelona plays this Thursday against the Napoli his options to win the Europe League. After the 1-1 of the gone, the culés have to win in territory napolitano if it wants to happen to the eighth of final. For this reason, the duel is one 'final' in all rule for the picture barcelonista. Xavi Hernández, therefore, will take the meeting like such and therefore it needs time to decide the eleven and the system to consciousness.

The 4-3-3 seems immovable, but Gavi could do that the system change. The Andalusian is indisputable, but the presence of Busquets, Frenkie of Jong and Pedri in the centre of the field close him the doors of the half to the canterano with this training. Thus, one of the decisions that still has to take the trainer is if bet by the '30' as 'false extreme' or if put him with some freedom like mediapunta and plant two forwards.

To the thread of this possible change of system is the possibility that Xavi do not want to 'touch it' and do without Of Jong in the half. It is a little likely option, since the Dutch is going to more, but is not something impossible. This would do that Gavi played in his place and that in the leading there was hollow for another player more. This would do that the doubts of the technician for this trident diminished considerably.

Another of the incógnitas, as already it has mentioned , is who will play up. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seems that it will be the '9' of reference play with the training that play . After his 'hat-trick' in front of Valencia, the gabonés arrives 'on fire' and with win to show his level in Europe. The big doubts of the míster of Terrassa are which player will accompany to the ex of the Arsenal up if it keeps the 4-3-3, with Gavi in band and Frenkie in the half.

Doubts in the forward

Ousmane Dembélé, Ferran Torres and Adama Traoré contest the another square in the forward in case that it decide to bet by Gavi and Of Jong. The French arrives after a big meeting in Valencia, but the Valencian is the big bet of the club and the Catalan has been the more regulate these last weeks. By all this, in these moments Xavi does not have at all clear by who decant to play in band.

It fits to say that if at the end Frenkie was acting, the technician egarense only would have to 'descartar' to one of the three attackers mentioned. In this case, there would be options that Xavi repeat the line of attack that so well worked him in Mestalla, with Auba of '9', Ferran by left and 'Dembouz' by right. It will be necessary to see why system and footballers finishes decanting finally the ex of the To the-Sadd.
