The signing of Coutinho, positive or negative for Iniesta?

Andrés Iniesta has achieved to go back to be an indispensable piece in the diagram of game of the FC Barcelona. Some months backwards, seemed that it did not remain neither trace of that impressive footballer that shined to the orders of Pep Guardiola or in the first seasons with Luis Enrique. The dynamics of the player of Fuentealbilla has changed of radical form.

Now, Andrés Iniesta feels comfortable in the terrain of game since it has achieved to have the rhythm of competition adapted to go back to his best level. Ernesto Valverde does him play practically each weekend and the Barcelona captain is it to him giving back with a quite upper performance to the of previous years.

However, Philippe Coutinho would arrive to reinforce the place of the of Fuentealbilla: the left interior. The crack of the Liverpool, that only could play in LaLiga Santander and in the Glass of Rey, would subtract him leadership to the manchego, that would see reduced his number of apparitions. Something that can have two readings.

On the one hand, Andrés Iniesta would have to play fewer minutes, by what could dosificar more. However, it would lose continuity, a factor that seems that it has been the key of his renaissance. However, the Barcelona captain would be the preferential option in the Champions League, since Coutinho already contested it with the Liverpool and could not go back to be inscribed with the FC Barcelona.

The key of the mejoría of the captain

To his 33 years, Iniesta needs to take care more than ever. That's why, in spite of doing him play in practically all the parties in which it is available, the technician substitutes it with regularity when the player carries more than an hour on the field. Of this form, there is not one overloads important of minutes but the player does not lose continuity.
