Calendar of FC Barcelona

Lamentably for the interests of the FC Barcelona, Luis Enrique will not be able to range to Neymar Jr this Tuesday in the turn of semifinals of Glass of the King 2016-17 against the Athletic of Madrid, due to the fact that the Brazilian star will lose unfairly the party by accumulation of yellow cards.

Without place to doubts is a shame that Neymar Jr, the player that receives more lacking and hard entrances in all the Spanish football, was also curiously to the one who less respect have the referees, when showing him cardboards practically by any entrance or protest.

In Vicente Calderón Neymar did two faults (one in attack) and received more than ten, being some of them really dangerous, but went home with a cardboard that does him lose the turn of semifinals of the tournament. The Brazilian already carries the spectacular figure of eleven cautions this course, after being harassed with more than 70 faults.

But independently of the injustice that cierne on the Brazilian star, touches to analyse which are the alternatives of Luis Enrique to relieve to Neymar Jr of the terrain of game and accompany to Luis Suárez and Leo Messi in the flank of attack:

Burn Turan

It is without place to doubts the big favourite, when being the third maximum scorer of the FC Barcelona in what it goes of season 2016-17 and be surrendering to a big level -especially in terms of effectiveness- when it touches him appear on the lawn, almost always from the bench.

Denis Suárez

Luis Enrique has cleared in press conference that explains also with Denis Suárez like one of the options to cover said position, given the polivalencia, technical quality and arrival to goal that has the young Galician midfield player.

Paco Alcácer

It is a less likely option, but no thus impossible. Paco Alcácer was exchanging positions with his mates of attack the past Saturday in front of the Athletic in the Camp Nou, and is not unthinkable that can form attack beside Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, possibly with the Argentinian star something more delayed to filter balloons to the two "nueves". This yes, the Barça would remain without bands.

Andrés Iniesta

It is the alternative less likely of all. Andrés Iniesta already played with Pep Guardiola and Frank Rijkaard in punctual parties like left extreme, but does several seasons that does not do it. This yes, will be cool this Tuesday after having recovered already of his injury, and Luis Enrique would give a big surprise in the case that it planted to the manchego here. Iniesta, besides, plays well in all sides.
