During the first months of the season saw that Ernesto Valverde was very accurate in his onces, opting usually by not repeating any alignment and bet by continuous changes delivering minutes and giving rests. The aim of this plan was clear: arrive to the decisive stretch of the campaign with the cool players.
Thus, to measure that happen the weeks, every time there are fewer changes split to party. Now, the culés have to litigate acutely to follow advancing rounds in the Glass of Rey and the Champions League and to keep the advantage of points at the head of LaLiga Santander. This Saturday, against the Seville, touched a hard meeting.
For this reason, the alignment of Valverde in Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán only had some retouchings. The main was the titularity of Samuel Umtiti, although it still is prompt to say if it was to leave rest to Clément Lenglet or if really the frank-Cameroonian has done definitively with the place.
Another very remarkable novelty was the suplencia of Ousmane Dembélé, that is fundamental part of the offensive trident in the important parties. The French, that played of start in front of the Olympique of Lyon, yielded him his place to Philippe Coutinho. Few doubt that it treats of a change to give him rest to the French extreme, that will be of the game in the classical of next week.
A lot of doubts there is also in the right side. In the last parties, seems that Nélson Semedo has done definitively with the place to title, although Sergi Roberto carries long being the owner of the place. The Portuguese went back to be headline in front of the Seville and also seems that it goes it to be in the Classical of next week.
The indisputable of Valverde
Where there were not changes was in other players that carry even more time consecrated. Men like Marc-André ter Stegen or Gerard Hammered follow it playing all no rest, whereas Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Leo Messi and Luis Suárez are intocables against the rivals complicated.
