Calendar of FC Barcelona

Memphis Depay Has completed a first-half of season with the FC full Barcelona of altibajos. After a promising start in LaLiga, the forward went cooling product of his physical problems and of the irregular walk blaugrana. His numbers are not bad (8 goals and 2 assistances in 16 parties), but the drought goleadora of the Barça​ in the era post Messi sues a greater leadership of the Dutch, the one who this Wednesday will have a decisive proof for the future of the team in the season and for his as 'killer' culé.

Memphis Returned the Saturday to the announcement of Xavi Hernández, after a month lesionado. In half hour on the field of the New The Cármenes, the tulip grieve generated danger in the attack, being admonished to the few minutes to have ingresado in place of his compatriot Luuk of Jong, author of the so much culé in the tie 1-1 in front of the Granada.

With Xavi in the bench, Depay was to title in the first five parties of the of Terrassa, annotating the goal of the triumph 1-0 in front of the Espanyol in the première of the míster. In total, the forward adds two so many in the last 450 minutes in field during the 'was Xavi ', with performances mayormente discreet before his injury. With everything and this keeps on being the maximum goleador of the team in the season.

Luuk Of Jong, sweet in this start of year, could be title theWednesday . Xavi has to decide if Memphis is or no in conditions to contest the 90 minutes in front of the Madrid, since the Saturday saw him lacking of rhythm, as it was to expect . Dembélé Is another of which outline of start in front of the whites, in a party where the míster Catalan at last will be able to have to almost all his available staff, included Pedri and Ferran Torres, the last in arriving to Arabia.

The arrival of Ferran looms the titularity of Memphis

If Depay wants to recover the confidence of his trainer, the Wednesday is the now or never. The return of Ansu Fati after his last injury and the arrival of Ferran Torres can close him the door in the eleven to the Dutch, forcing him to occupy a secondary role the rest of the season. Neither speak of if, finally, concretises the incorporation of Morata.

In his last Classical, Memphis contested the 90 minutes in the defeat 1-2 in Camp Nou. The forward completed a good first part, but in the second period went diluting to the pair of the then directed group by Ronald Koeman. That day saw to a Depay participatory and movedizo that went of more to less, complicating in the first compaces to the couple Praises-Militao to finish recostado on the right band, without greater incidence in the attack culé.

The one of the Wednesday can be the last train for the tulip, the one who at the beginning of season was seen by some like the figure that would occupy the stellar role left by Messi. Today already it speaks of a possible exit of the footballer of 27 years in summer. The moment of the truth is now for Depay.
