Rakitic Wins whole to play of mediocentro in front of the Betis

Ivan Rakitic was not to title the past Thursday in Glass of the King against the Real Sociedad and went in to the field in the minute 66, substituting to a sore Javier Mascherano to go back to cuajar some good minutes in the position of mediocentro, as it already did in Ipurúa against the SD Eibar.

Well, in front of the probability that Luis Enrique pretend to reserve to Javier Mascherano this Sunday in the field of the Real Betis, with the aim that it was available for the gone of semifinals of Glass of the King in front of the Athletic of Madrid in Vicente Calderón, is very possible that Ivan Rakitic finish being headline in the position of mediocentro in front of the Real Betis in Benito Villamarín.

The Croatian midfield player is fresco to the have not played complete parties in the last weeks, and the plague of drops of the Barça in the centre of the field propiciarán his titularity. This yes, will have to lidiar by the place with André Gomes, the one who in case of not playing of mediocentro probably do it in the left interior, with Denis Suárez in the right interior.

Rakitic, important because of the plague of injuries

Busquets, Iniesta and Rafinha follow lesionados, and Mascherano could have minutes of rest this Sunday. With Sergi Roberto also touched "" and situated usually in the right side when it plays, to the Barça reduce him the effective in the centre of the field.

It is thus that the presence of Ivan Rakitic will be more necessary that never to give balance to the team of Luis Enrique. The Villamarín, besides, no gives him at all badly taking into account that the past season marked one of the goals of the Barcelona triumph (0-2). The another was annotated by Luis Suárez.
