Calendar of FC Barcelona

They remain only some days for the party of Champions League against the Olympique of Lyon and Valverde knows that the FC Barcelona plays half season in this eliminatory. After the failure of the past campaign in Champions, when the blaugranas did waters in Rome and fell deleted in chambers, another fiasco would not be admissible in the Camp Nou.

Therefore, the trainer of the Barça does not want to leave at all at random and expects to hit with the eleven that take out in Lyon. But after several weeks something convulsas in what to game and results refers , there are several players that have done that Valverde doubt of his alignment type. The good level of some and the bajón of others have done that they arrive the doubts.

One of his doubts is who will be the right side title. Up to now, almost always it has trusted Sergi Roberto in the big parties, but the irruption of Semedo this campaign has done him doubt. The Portuguese is playing very well and is a carrilero more to the use. Besides defensivamente, in spite of not being a portento, gives something more than security that Sergi Roberto. The Catalan, by his part, has in favour his experience and his arrival from backwards, but lacks the concepts that has Semedo in the side. It will be necessary to expect to see what decides Valverde at the end.

In the centre of the field the drop of Arthur creates doubts

Already it saw against the Athletic in Saint Mamés, the drop of Arthur has left a gap tremendo in the centre of the field culé. In the field of the Athletic Valverde opted for planting to Vidal, but the Chilean did waters and went of the worst of the team. It was missing him precision in the pass, dynamism and quality to take out the balloon. In definite, was missing him all what has Arthur.

In spite of his bad performance the past week, is likely that the trainer of the Barça go back to bet by the ex of the Bayern in Lyon. Valverde Wants security in defence and the profile of Vidal is perfect for this. Although neither much less it is the only option that has the 'Txingurri'.

The turn of Dembélé causes that Coutinho lose his place in the left extreme. Besides, the Brazilian is not playing well and the turn of the French complicates him even more play. But Valverde does not want to throw the towel with him and knows that it is a good option for the midfield. The ex of the Liverpool has quality and could link with Messi, Suárez and Dembélé, and is an option that considers seriously.

Finally, Aleñá is the another alternative that handles Valverde for this place. The canterano carries several very good weeks and his presence in the eleven in Lyon is not a chimaera. It understands well with Messi, has quality and is more than accustomed to play in this position. In his against play his age and his status, but it will be necessary to see what decides at the end the trainer of the FC Barcelona.
