All the big teams of the world suffer the stops of selections. To anybody likes him that they remove him to more than half of the staff during more than a week and that to the turn can have players lesionados, touched or tired. But if besides, the stop is in full month of March, when they are missing less than two months and half for the end of season, the clubs can arrive to bother much more.

And if besides this team is the Barcelona, does it with reason. Because it seems that there is not conjoint that suffer more this type of international stops that the Barcelona. And it is not question of feelings, but of statistics of previous campaigns that contributes the daily Ace. To the Barça does not seat him at all well this in pass of ten days in the most delicate moment of the season.

In the course 2015-2016, just to the return of the international of this damned stop, the FC Barcelona went in in a crisis of game and of results that by little finish throwing to the fret the previous months of competition. The barcelonistas went to the stop leaders and almost champions of LaLiga Santander, finalists of Glass of Rey and in chambers of Champions, where would play against the Athletic of Madrid. But when going back chained three defeats in consecutive League, lost against the Athletic in League of Champions and complicated his victory in League absurdly. In summary, a disaster of last months, although the thing could finish still worse.

In the campaign 2016-2017 happened something similar and the FC Barcelona went back to complicate the life to the return of the stop. In League fell against the Málaga only a week later, but went in Europe where worse were the things. After the epic traced back against Paris Saint-Germain, the ones of Luis Enrique had to go to Turín to play the gone of chambers, but no gave them well and went back to Barcelona with a 3-0 against and a regrettable image. This time had not traced back.

The past season, with Valverde in the bench, arrived the disaster of Rome shortly after the stop by selections. The players culés were exhausted and trusted too much of the good result of the gone. The 'Txingurri' did not attain to take out the best of his footballers and all accused too much the minutes that carried accumulated in the legs. The Rome won 3-0 and the Barcelona went back home in Champions a lot ahead of time a year more.

Valverde Will have to take it into account and rotar

Messi, Busquets, Rakitic or Arthur could rest to the turn to prepare the chambers of Champions and all what could arrive afterwards. Besides, the technician extremeño also will have to keep to his players motivated mentally so that there is not another bajón in March or April that can do peligrar the League.
