The Barça, against the history and the virus FIFA in front of the Real Sociedad

After resolving positively the two first key moments adding the first official title of the season -defeating to the Seville in the final of the Supercopa of Spain to only party- and contabilizando with victories the three first parties of LaLiga Santander, always so complicated by the fault of shooting, now touches to confront to a third obstacle: the feared 'virus FIFA'.

The FC Barcelona knows of leftovers that no give him especially very lately the parties contested after a stop by dispute of parties of national selections, and the one of this Saturday in Anoeta against the Real Sociedad (at 16:15h) will be it. Almost two weeks after the last bump suspender belt against the Huesca, touches to come close the shoulder in a party complicated.

The Basque team will receive to the FC Barcelona with win to keep on being the black beast of the team culé out of house, obviando the party of the past season in which the men of Ernesto Valverde imposed by 2-4. The Real Sociedad wants to première the new Anoeta -reformed to delete the tracks of athletics and approach the public to the terrain of game- giving a hit on of the table in front of the culés.

By his part, the culés begin a marathon of parties complicated that it will lengthen two months -with October like month that will house the most fearsome appointments- by what could begin the rotations to give rest to some of the key players. The first victim has been Arthur, that has not gone in in the announcement.

The second, could be Philippe Coutinho, that would lose his place in the eleven initial by the same reason that Arthur has remained went: both finish to arrive of the parties with Brazil and have not been able to prepare the party to time. Of this form, Arturo Vidal could be headline for the first time in an official party, although it also could go in Nelson Semedo to advance the position of Sergi Roberto.

If finally the Chilean goes in in the team, expects that the alignment was the formed by Ter Stegen in the goal, a defence with Sergi Roberto, Samuel Umtiti, Gerard Hammered and Jordi Alba; a centre of the field with Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal; and a forward with Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé. Special attention to Clément Lenglet, with serious possibilities to go in in the eleven.

The Barça, with negative balance in Anoeta

The FC Barcelona will not have to despistarse in a hostile terrain as it is Anoeta. The Real Sociedad is one of the few teams of First Division that has a favourable balance against the Barcelona team playing home. In total, the balance of the Barça like visitor in front of the Real Sociedad is of 21 victories, 26 ties and 31 defeats.

It is true that the season happened the FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde was able to defeat to the Basque group, but also is it that it began losing 2-0 and that it had to give him the turn to finish 2-4. The Real Sociedad is a team that does not scare in front of the Barcelona and, in spite of that will have drops, neither will do it this Saturday.

Of the last 10 visits to the stadium txuri-urdin, have obtained five defeats, three ties and only two victories. Data that leave clear that is not a simple stage neither neither an affordable rival. The statistics does not deceive and the Barcelona group will owe to have clear that confronts to an opponent that knows like hurting.

The arms of the Real Sociedad

The Real Sociedad will be a hard opponent for the FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde. The group donostiarra comes comes to lose in the derbi in front of the Eibar and is conscious that it needs to add points to keep in the high half zone of the table. Of his three parties, has won one, has empatado another and lost the last.

Asier Garitano will have important drops like the ones of his two goleadores -Sandro Ramírez and Willian José- and the one of Januzaj, a man of band very incisive that it is one of the big hopes of the team in the present season. Neither it will be able to have Diego Llorente, one of the defensive pillars, neither with Guridi and Merquelanz,

In spite of this, the team txuri-urdin has arms imponentes with which the FC Barcelona will have to go with great care. Mikel Oyarzábal will be the big offensive referent by his tremenda quality and will go accompanied by Juanmi, a forward with a lot of mobility. The rocosidad of the centre of the field with men like Zubeldia or Illarramendi also has to be taken in account.
