The Barcelona visits to the Girona with an eye in his perseguidores and the another in the Glass of Rey

The FC Barcelona suffered a hard defeat against the Seville in Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán the past Wednesday and, although there is win of revenge and anxieties of traced back in the party of the Camp Nou that will play next Wednesday, first touches to think in LaLiga Santander. The Barcelona team travels to Montilivi to measure to the Girona.

The team culé, besides, will play knowing that the Athletic of Madrid went back to win this Saturday in front of the Getafe, planting to only two points. The athletic follow without failing in his career in LaLiga and the FC Barcelona has to counter it taking out good results in his parties to protect the five points of advantage on the rojiblancos that there was in the start of the day. The Real Madrid, by his part, is to ten.

For the party of this Sunday, Ernesto Valverde has done without the rests of his stars and has composed a list of summoned without surprises. The culés play a lot in front of the Girona and, in spite of that it was when falling the turn copera in front of the Seville, foresees an alignment with all the headlines to assault Montilivi.

Therefore, Leo Messi, after two parties resting, will go back to the titularity beside Luis Suárez and Philippe Coutinho, that were acting in front of the hispalenses the past Wednesday. The drop by injury of Ousmane Dembélé will give to the Brazilian a new opportunity, that needs to go back to his best version after some parties in which it is very grey.

It is complicated to know of the true the eleven that will employ Valverde, but what is sure is that the experiments remain to a side when it arrives LaLiga. The regular championship and the Champions League are the big priorities, although this does not avoid that the team travel to Girona with an eye put in the Glass of Rey, since it does not go in in the plans lose the first title of the season.

The Girona already showed that it can hurt

The Girona arrives to the City Condal directed by an ex of the Barça, whose aim is, this time, attain that the three points remain in Montilivi. Eusebio Sacristán knows all the virtues that characterise to the culés, but also can explode his weaknesses and that is a factor to take into account, since it handles a team that left big feelings in his première in First Division and goes by the same way in his second campaign.

Although they fit two goleadas in his duels of the past course with the culés, a result that this season improved in the Camp Nou. The Girona achieved rascar a tie of the coliseo Barcelona or, maybe, went the FC Barcelona the one who achieved arañar a point, since the Girona planted face at all times and played very well his letters.

These letters has not wanted to them desvelar Eusebio in his press conference, in which it has ensured that they can take out a positive result if the things go out them according to his plans. "On the lawn go to see if we go them to look for up to no. We will treat to do what created timely at all times to counter the virtues of the Barça and take advantage of ours", said.

The Girona is another of these teams that play with a 5-3-2, a system of game that is putting very fashionable in the modern football. The keys of the game of the Girona are his carrileros long -that probably are Pedro Porro and Valery- and his big lethal pair in attack: Portu and Christian Stuani. Special attention to the Uruguayan, that carries 12 so many and already put him two to the Barça in the last party. 

The precedents against the Girona

When we speak of precedents, is impossible to forget us of the party of the first turn, in which the Girona achieved to take the Camp Nou putting the fear in the body in a lot of phases of the party. The gerundenses took advantage of the rotations culés in this party to put with 1-2 in favour, although a so much of Gerard Hammered finish saving to the Barcelona.

There are not too many precedents between both teams, due to the fact that hardly they have coincided in the same category. In addition to the tie of the present campaign, can find three precedents more. In the only visit of the FC Barcelona in Montilivi, the culés golearon to the then trained team by Pablo Machín with a conclusive 0-3.

Besides, in the party of the past season in the Camp Nou, the Barcelona did not have mercy empatando an initial goal of Portu to finish tracing back and goleando by 6-1. A very distinct party that the one who contested does few months. To find another precedent, have to go us to the season 1948-49, with a goleada culé by 9-0.
