The FC Barcelona went out to Anoeta to treat to break with the curse of the field of the Real Sociedad with Ivan Rakitic and Samuel Umtiti in the eleven headline of the Barcelona group. Two titularities that, joint the one of Digne, has a why
It is clear that this season 2016-2017 Luis Enrique always surprises with his eleven headline. It is difficult to hit an alignment of the Asturian given the possibilities that has in his hand and all the system of rotations that carries executing especially in defence and centre of the field.
In these two positions is where appear the three main novelties of the FC Barcelona in front of the Real Sociedad. In retaguardia, the most stood out is the one of the election of Lucas Digne in place of Jordi Alba. Perhaps thinking in giving him rest to the of L'Hospitalet and looking for close more hollow in this band, the French was the elected. But beside him in the centre of the defence, and a bit more advance in the midfield appear other two men stood out whose titularities happen to analyse.
Samuel Umtiti, not to fail in the exit of ball
The election of Samuel Umtiti in place of Javier Mascherano remains clear that it is been due to the high pressure with which will go out the Real Sociedad. In front of this, the Barcelona need to the defenders that have a better and faster exit of ball from backwards. Umtiti Has showed it and thus "I Struggle" has chosen him in this occasion.
But also there is another important appearance that refers to the aerial game. They are varied the goals that the blanquiazules have annotated them in this appearance, as have important players in played to balloon stopped like lateral faults or corners. And obviously the height and the good do in this appearance of the French has him encumbrado also in the eleven.
Ivan Rakitic, in front of the reválida that puts him Luis Enrique
By what does to the centre of the field, beside the indisputable Sergi Busquets and Andrés Iniesta appears Ivan Rakitic. The one who was the centre of the field title of the two last seasons and that no longer is so clear. The election of the Croat comes given more like reválida by part of the Barcelona technician, that will look him with lupa.
It is the perfect meeting so that the international Balkan step advance and show that it is back. His work in the right-handed interior, where create a lot of spaces, was key to the hour to choose it for the duel.
