The sides, the secret weapon of Valverde against Chelsea

It does hardly some weeks that the FC Barcelona landed in London with the paper of favourite against Chelsea, but in Stamford Bridge carried a fright that has done that redoble his efforts to ensure the pass to quarter-finals of the Champions. The goal annotated to domicile is vital to think in the classification, but also will be it play the turn home.

In the stadium of the 'blues', the defensive efficiency of the English multiplied by the measures of the terrain of game, that when being narrower and reduced facilitated the task to bale out spaces when the visitors had the possession. Like this, the men of Antonio Conte cancelled the influence of the 'jugones' culés, that in spite of everything found the only rendija to leave the eliminatory something more favourable.

The Camp Nou has to be decisive for the Barça

In this sense, a lot of voices of the changing room revealed that the Camp Nou could mark the difference, since there will be more superfície that cover and therefore, more separation in the wall londinense, what will benefit, teoricamente, to the pupilos of Ernesto Valverde, allowing more depth, more incisive passes and in definite, an offensive with more mordiente.

Of face to reinforce the Barcelona attack, the technician incidirá in an idea that has given him results along the course, and is that the sides open field and convert practically in forwards when the spherical was in his power. This is the best way to compensate the 4-4-2 that has applied the Txingurri, since although it subtracts a tip, his carrileros arrive more far.

The tremendo impact that are having the incorporations of Jordi Alba by the left would have to improve to the heat of the fans, far of a coolness that in Stamford Bridge limited a lot his participation up. Only after the rest and in some isolated phases of the meeting saw him more enchufado, of the same way that to Sergi Roberto too discreet.

Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto, indisputable headlines for Valverde

So much the footballer of L'Hospitalet like the one of Reus have given the fright in the last days, since the injuries have loomed with leaving them out of one of the most important commitments to date. The left-handed side shrank the heart of the followers in the party against the Málaga by a very dangerous entrance of Samuel, and the right-handed did it after the duel when it filtered that it had finish with annoyances.

In spite of that the incident of Alba did not go to greater, during the week has been news the physical state of Sergi Roberto, although Ernesto Valverde has been cutting to the hour to refer to his situation to few hours of the party: "we Think that it will be perfect to play". The luck is thrown. It touches to go back to win.
