The FC Barcelona is being strongly struck by the injuries, since, from the last stop FIFA, the picture culé has suffered the drops of Gerard Piqué, Sergi Roberto and Sergio Busquets, in addition to already have on the injury of Ansu Fati, from before the international parties. This situation could force to Ronald Koeman, trainer of the team, to vary the tactical drawing with which came posing the parties of the club, that is to say, the 4-2-3-1

The main problem of the Dutch technician is the one of not having sufficient players of confidence with which arm the controversial double pivote that brings achieve the alignment of his preference. This, at least, of face to the next commitment that will have to confront the Barcelona in front of the Dynamo of Kiev, since, in addition to the players lesionados, Koeman has left out of his announcement to Frenkie Of Jong, to give him rest and avoid that it suffer a saturation.

In front of this fact, the mediocampistas that find available for the crash in front of the Ukrainians are Miralem Pjanic, Riqui Puig, Carles Aleñá and a surprising Matheus Fernandes. In addition to the bosnio, the other alternatives are not of the total confidence of Koeman, by what the most likely is that it decide to change his tactical drawing and bet by a training in which it can include to players that yes are totally of his like and that avenge with more regularity.

The options of Koeman

Given the circumstances, the alternatives of tactical drawings that it could use Ronald Koeman to face the party in front of the Dynamo of Kiev and some another of the next meetings could be the 4-3-3 or the 4-4-2. The first option seems the most natural, since it is the diagram fetish of the Barcelona, with which was used to to pose the team before the arrival of the Dutch. If the same decides by this training, the safest is that it situate to Pjanic like "5" and that, around the Bosnian, situate Coutinho and Pedri.

On the other hand, the 4-4-2 was typical of the era of Ernesto Valverde and could go back to be an option, given the urgencies that crosses the Barcelona. To use this alignment, Koeman could have of his typical double pivote, conformed by Pjanic and any of the alternatives mentioned previously (Puig, Aleñá or Fernandes), whereas perhaps it would situate by the bands would have the option to choose between Coutinho, Dembélé, Trincao and Pedri.
