It deserves André Gomes play more minutes that Ivan Rakitic?

André Gomes played almost all the party this past Saturday against Osasuna, before being relieved of the terrain of game by Rafinha Alcántara. Also it had minutes in the last meetings in front of Borussia Mönchengladbach and Real Madrid, what leaves clear that Luis Enrique has full confidence in a footballer that, in spite of not being developing all his potential, has convinced to the Asturian technician.

The usual presence during the last weeks of André Gomes in the alignments of the FC Barcelona, however, has earned a "victim" since Andrés Iniesta recovered of his injury and can chain titularities without problems in the onces culés.

And that is not another that Ivan Rakitic. In spite of being one of the basic players of the FC Barcelona in the last campaigns, the Croat has recessed slightly his level of game, what has turned him into one of the "heads of Turkish" of Luis Enrique in the last meetings of League Santander. The Croatian midfield player was substituted in front of the Real Sociedad and also against the Real Madrid, in this last case leaving place to Andrés Iniesta in spite of that the natural change would have been the course of André Gomes to allow the entrance of the manchego.

Ivan Rakitic has reduced his good performance in the last weeks, can that fruit of the physical fatigue or perhaps simply because of a bad series of game, that is usual in some players surpassed the first third of season. The Asturian trainer has signalled "him", and this will have to do him improve so much in the trainings as in the parties. The Barça needs the balance that gives to the team on the terrain of game, and expects that Rakitic recover the tone along the next meetings.

Until this suceda, André Gomes will follow having of the confidence of Luis Enrique, although it can not say neither that the Portuguese, although it goes slightly of less to more, was improving too much the performance of Rakitic. It has not removed still the "shame" to deploy his best game in the rows of the Barça, and neither has saved of the criticisms of a sector of the barcelonismo.
