The start of season of Andrés Iniesta has surprised to many by the level that has deployed the manchego. Has spark, is motivated, desequilibra and distributes. It is not to the level of the best Andrés, but yes has recovered this freshness that seemed forgotten antaño.
Big part of fault of such performance has it Ernesto Valverde, that has understood that have him in the field helps him to be filmed, although it always finish being substituted not to suffer one overloads of parties. That is to say, physically it keeps an optimum level without need to tire in excess. The aim is that it arrive well to April.
But to Iniesta condemn him the microlesiones that has each little time. Never it is at all grave -maximum fifteen days or a month-, but are small annoyances that prevent him continue playing with the rest of his mates. His physicist is delicate and has to be taken care with a lot of mimo. But even doing it arrive these unforeseen that do not benefit at all neither to the team neither to the own midfield player, that regrets to have to stop when better is.
Iniesta will not be in front of the Athletic and surely, as they aimed some Catalan means, could lose the party of Champions in front of Olympiacos. All what was so that the annoyances do not aggravate and can go back the before possible to the team.
Moment for Denis, Gomes, Paulinho...
The drop of Iniesta has to be taken advantage of so that players less usual like Denis, Gomes and Paulinho have more minutes. Especially the first, that after the stop seems to explain less for Valverde -although it was to title in Murcia-. Precisely they are these microlesiones those that force to the Barcelona to think in a signing next summer. Or even this winter with Coutinho, that definitely would be the natural relief more suitable.
