The injury of Arthur could not arrive in a worse moment. The Brazilian had done the master and gentleman of the centre of the field culé and his presence in the team was already fundamental for Valverde. But with the ex of the Guild was, the technician extremeño needs to find to a substitute of guarantees that can connect the centre of the field with the forward.

In front of the Athletic in Saint Mamés, Valverde tested with Arturo Vidal and gave him the opportunity to show that in absence of Arthur, he could be this player. But the reality is that the Chilean does not have at all that see with the Brazilian and in Bilbao was shipwrecked entirely. The ex of the Bayern was of the worst of the meeting and in any moment felt comfortable.

Vidal always has stood out like llegador and never like creator, with what probably was not the footballer that needs the Barcelona in absence of Arthur. The team right now needs to a player with good treat balloon, with dynamism and that it can connect with Messi or Luis Suárez. And in the current staff of the Barça only two footballers could do this function.

It treats of Carles Aleñá and of Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian is not playing well and is being one of the main focuses of criticism of the team. But, perhaps, with the turn of Dembélé, could be of utility in the centre of the field. In this position would be more in contact with the balloon and could reencontrarse with his game. It is not his place, but his dynamism and his quality do him be an able man to play here against a lot of rivals.

Aleñá, by his part, would be the ideal candidate to occupy the place that has left vacant Arthur. It carries playing in the half all his life and is qualified to be one of the organisers of game blaugrana. Every time that goes out to the field contributes something disntinto and deserves have the opportunity to show it from the minute one. Has quality, change of rhythm and understands well with Messi. It would be a glorious option.

Valverde Is not man of a lot of changes

If by something defines Ernesto Valverde is by not doing big changes in his team. With what would not be of extrañar that, in spite of his bad party against the Athletic, the trainer culé followed betting by Arturo Vidal in the centre of the field. It will be necessary to expect to the meeting in front of the Valladolid to see if the 'Txingurri' took note of the occurred in Saint Mamés.
