The plan of Valverde was that Dembélé went headline in Anfield

They are not easy days for Ernesto Valverde, more questioned that never in the bench of the FC Barcelona after the bochornosa elimination suffered in semifinals of Champions League, after the 4-0 fit in Anfield against the Liverpool. The Barça did waters by all the sides in English earths, and are not few those who ask the arrival of another trainer of face to the next season.

One of the appearances by which more has criticised to Ernesto Valverde in the last days is by the fact to having planted exactly the same alignment in Anfield that in the Camp Nou. The culés won 3-0 in the party of gone, but the result was more than deceptive. The Liverpool carried the reins of the party during the ninety minutes, and the Barça had the luck to have the chispazos of magic of Leo Messi.

After seeing the bad party that played the Barça in the gone in front of the Liverpool, was to expect that Valverde did some variation in the eleven of the party of turn, especially taking into account that lso 'reds' would go out to attack from the minute one. From 'MD', in any case, ensure that the initial plan of Valverde was to play with Ousmane Dembélé like companion of Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, and no with Coutinho.

Precisely the Brazilian was the first change in the second half, after an abysmal performance. If Dembélé did not have lesionado days before, would have been headline in Liverpool and perhaps would have achieved to mark the goal that so much needed the Barça to sentence the eliminatory.

It did not go like this, and his injury prevented him be present in an eleven in which it also surprised the presence of Sergi Roberto in the right side, to the detriment of a Nélson Semedo that, by his athletic conditions and his tip of speed, perhaps would have worked better to defend the vertiginous attacks of the players 'reds'.

In fact, it has surprised that along big part of the season Semedo have been the right-handed side headline and, just in the most important parties and in which more it could require his presence in thefield , Valverde have opted by Sergi Roberto that, although it can surrender well in said position, is a midfield player reconverted.

It will follow Valverde at the head of the bench culé?

Of here to final of season, to Valverde will not remain him another that accept the criticisms that go arriving and face up them. Although has agreement signed to follow at the head of the team of face to the next campaign, is an incógnita if it will keep on being Barcelona technician further of 25 May , after the final of the Glass of the King against the Valency in Benito Villamarín.
